Oracle EPM & OneStream for Manufacturing & Industrials

Multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations at scale, standard costing and capital-heavy planning. We’ve built finance systems for steel, packaging, building products, cement, dairy, chemicals and pharmaceutical manufacturers across Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

Manufacturing is the sector we’ve worked in most, and the longest. Some of these relationships go back to 2004 and are still running. A manufacturer’s close is not a services firm’s close: dozens of legal entities and plants, intercompany trading that has to net to zero, standard costing that finance can rarely see clearly, and a capital plan that dwarfs the operating budget. We start from those problems, not from a platform demo.

Your close & planning problems

Consolidation across many entities

Multiple legal entities, plants and currencies rolling up under more than one accounting standard, with intercompany eliminations that have to net to zero every period.

Costing finance can’t see

Standard costing, variances and product or plant profitability stranded in the ERP and never surfaced in a form the finance team can plan against.

Capital-heavy planning

Asset-level capital plans and volume × price driver models per plant, where the capex view matters as much as the P&L.

Many source systems

SAP, Oracle and Dynamics feeding a slow, manual close, with no common chart of accounts across the group.
