Agenda
Rising global tariffs create real challenges – but they don’t have to squeeze your margins.
In this webinar, see how the all-inclusive Phocas BI and FP&A platform helps distribution and manufacturing businesses forecast, plan, and adapt—without relying on Excel or IT expertise. We’ll also highlight a real-world example using Phocas with Infor to improve financial visibility, streamline budgeting, and unlock cost-saving opportunities.
Join us and discover how to build tariff scenarios in minutes, optimize pricing and sourcing, and maximize margins with ease – all while harnessing the power of your own data.
KEY TAKEAWAYS - YOU WILL LEARN:
- Build custom tariff scenarios to quickly forecast product costs – no Excel or SQL skills required
- Layer "Country of Origin" data into margin analysis and pricing strategy
- Optimize inventory and diversify sourcing in response to rising costs
