CORE & GATE

Value Monitor

Know where the value is in your business, and whether you are capturing it.

We map your numbers, find where the value sits, turn it into a plan, and measure it every month on a live dashboard. Your KPIs, your targets, your numbers.

The problem

Most companies run improvement initiatives. Few can say what they deliver.

Initiatives without numbers

Projects start with a business case and end with nobody checking whether the value arrived.

Tools without answers

Process tools show what happens in your systems. They do not tell you what to fix, or what it is worth.

Reports that point the wrong way

Traffic-light reports flag what is off target, not where the money is. A KPI that looks fine on a large volume can be worth more than one that is far off.

How it works

Seven phases, from your numbers to value you can see

The same gated method we use in every engagement, with a quality gate between each phase, in three fixed-fee steps.

Step 1Map and Find

  1. 01

    Map the value

    We turn your numbers into one clear picture: what comes in, what it costs to run the business, and what each core process costs, down to the cost of posting an invoice. For a €50M company, you see where every euro goes, at a level the board can read.

  2. 02

    Find the value

    We run our diagnostic on the processes that matter most to you, such as buying and paying suppliers, collecting cash or closing the month, and put a euro range on each opportunity.

Step 2Define, Plan, Test and Launch

  1. 03

    Define the initiatives

    We turn the biggest opportunities into concrete initiatives: better payment terms, buying through approved catalogs, faster invoice matching. Each one with an owner and a value.

  2. 04

    Build the plan

    What needs to be in place, by when, and what value each step brings. This becomes your value plan for the year.

  3. 05

    Test the solution

    A readiness checklist for each initiative: what must be tested and in place, IT or not, before it goes live.

  4. 06

    Launch

    The same checklist confirms that people, process and data are ready, so the value can be tracked from day one.

Step 3Measure

  1. 07

    Measure

    Your Value Monitor goes live: a monthly dashboard of plan against actual, where the value is, and how each initiative is delivering.

What you see every month

One screen that tells you if you are on track

Every month we check and load your figures, publish the dashboard and send a one-page note. Every quarter we review progress with your management team. Every year we reset the targets and bring new opportunities.

  • Plan vs actual as a traffic light: captured so far, expected by now, and the full-year plan
  • Where the value is, ranked by euros, not by distance from target
  • What changed this month, and what to look at first
  • Initiatives: value promised against value delivered
  • A view for each lead, so every owner sees their own numbers

Live demo

Try it yourself

Opportunity Scan

Pick the pain points in how you buy and pay suppliers, answer a few questions, and see the value at stake. This is the diagnostic we use in every engagement, and clients get full access to it as part of the engagement. About 5 minutes. Nothing you enter is stored.

Value Monitor dashboard

A sample monthly dashboard for a fictional mid-size company. Switch between the CFO view and each lead's view.

Both demos use example data.

Why it works

Built for decisions, not for slides

Your numbers, your targets

No generic benchmarks. Every opportunity is measured against your own targets and your own best performance.

No IT project

Live in weeks on a secure platform we run for you. If your policy requires it, you host it yourself.

Your data stays protected

Aggregated monthly figures only, never invoices or personal data. EU hosting, a separate space for each client, and an NDA.

One senior advisor

The same person from the first map to every monthly review.

FAQ

What data do you need?

Monthly figures you already have: exports from your ERP, finance reports or process tools. Totals, counts and days, never invoices or personal data. You send them in the format you already use, and we load and check them.

Where is our data stored?

On our platform, hosted in the EU, with a separate space for each client. If your policy requires it, we deploy the platform in your own environment.

Who drives the initiatives?

Your KPI owners do, and the Value Monitor keeps them accountable every month. If you want hands-on help with a specific initiative, we can provide it on request.

How long until we see something?

The value map and the first opportunities in about three weeks. The live dashboard in about eleven.

What does it cost?

Three fixed fees. We start with Map and Find, from €7,500. The plan and dashboard set-up and the monthly service are fixed fees too, agreed once we know your scope.

What happens if we stop?

You keep your dashboard and data as they stand on the last day. We stop updating it and adding new opportunities.
