Get Your Cycle Back. Be the Advisor, Not the Spreadsheet.

Serviceware Financial automates the work you do by hand today: allocation, rate calculation, reconciliation, and reporting. It all runs on one governed model where every number traces from the general ledger to a service to a consumer.

CHALLENGE

You're Running a Cost Model on Effort and Willpower

Every cycle, you pull data from a dozen systems, rebuild allocations in spreadsheets, reconcile to the general ledger by hand, and then defend the results when a business unit disputes their bill. The model works because you make it work, but it's fragile, slow, and hard to hand over. The demands only grow: more granularity, faster close, cleaner audit trails, and now cloud and AI costs to allocate too. The tooling hasn't kept up with the ask, and the analysis that would make you the advisor keeps getting squeezed out.

Manual, Fragile Allocation

Cost pools, drivers, and rates are rebuilt in spreadsheets every cycle. One broken formula or one person on leave, and the close stalls.

Reconciliation by Hand

Getting allocated cost to tie back to the GL is a manual grind, and the gaps only surface when Finance finds them.

Allocations You Have to Defend

When a business unit challenges a charge, the logic lives in a spreadsheet only you understand, so every dispute becomes your problem to re-explain.

No Time for the Actual Analysis

The cycle eats the month. The variance analysis, scenarios, and advice that would make you the person leadership asks get squeezed out.

SOLUTION

One Governed Model That Does the Heavy Lifting

Serviceware Financial pulls cost data straight from your ERP and source systems, applies your cost pools, drivers, and rates automatically, and reconciles allocated cost back to the general ledger every cycle, without the spreadsheet rebuild.

Costs flow from GL to service to consumer, with cost and price separated at each level, so showback and chargeback are traceable and defensible by design.

Budgeting, forecasting, and actuals run on the same model, so variance analysis and what-if scenarios come out of one source instead of a fresh workbook.

And the model is aligned to the TBM taxonomy, so your structure speaks the standard your peers and benchmarks use.

Automate the assembly. Own the analysis.

It Automates the Model, Not Just the Reporting

Serviceware automates the work behind the numbers, from source data through cost pools, drivers, rates, and GL reconciliation. You're not simply putting a better reporting layer over the same manual process.

Keep Control of the Model

The allocation logic is visible, and you can adjust or override drivers and rates yourself. Day-to-day changes don't depend on a developer, support ticket, or implementer.

Build on the Model You Already Have

Keep your existing cost pools, drivers, and rates. The Digital Value Model® starts at your current data and process maturity, aligned to the TBM taxonomy, and adds depth when you're ready.

ITFM Expertise Alongside the Software
