Go beyond financial data
The profit warning no one saw coming becomes a measure no one has to fear anymore.
In the product
Will we be able to hold our EBIT forecast for Q3? If not, how can we still counteract in time with suitable measures?
The Q3 EBIT forecast is at risk of coming in €3.8 million (-6.2%) short. Main driver: Plant South, product line PL-200.
- Cause: aluminium raw-material costs +14% since June, not yet carried through into the standard costing
- Second effect: the price-adjustment clause with customer OEM Nord (contract KV-3391) should already have kicked in at the start of the month — not yet triggered
- 41 days left until quarter-end — once triggered, the price adjustment takes immediate effect on open orders
Recommendation: Trigger price-adjustment clause KV-3391 immediately — covers €2.1 million of the gap. The remaining €1.7 million can be offset by shifting 2 planned maintenance budgets into Q4.

What changes
Before
- The deviation only becomes visible at quarter-end close, too late for any countermeasure.
- Deviation is discussed across 5 departments without anyone knowing the driver.
- No data consistency — every system reports different numbers.
With d.AP
- Every deviation with driver, source, responsible owner.
- One question delivers the complete chain — no cross-department alignment needed.
- Ad-hoc response enables timely countermeasures — the forecast holds again.
What it delivers
