What is CostPerform?

CostPerform is a cost and profitability modeling software designed to help finance teams clearly understand the drivers of cost, margin, and performance. Its architecture enables organizations to build driver-based cost models, allocate resources transparently across business units and processes, and measure profitability with confidence. The software supports advanced costing methodologies used across industries, such as activity-based costing (ABC), time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC), and multi-dimensional costing. These methods allow organizations to identify inefficiencies, optimize spending, and support pricing, investment, and regulatory decisions with defensible data. Integrated modeling and reporting features then provide clear visibility into financial data, cost structures, and performance insights to support strategic decision-making.

It is very flexible, it can track even the smallest cost from beginning to end clearly, and it also calculates large amounts of data very quickly and with less error.

The tool falls back on a legacy GUI interface which needs to be more robust to better the end user customer experience. Some of the implementation requires cumbersome navigation which requires significant training.

Dislike

There may be some delays in support responsiveness due to time zone differences.

Dislike

It takes a little while to learn how to use it, especially with the somewhat outdated interface.
