in Transport and Logistics
Fuel Price Volatility
Constant fluctuations in fuel prices can wreak havoc on projected costs, affecting everything from freight trucking to passenger airlines. Workday Adaptive Planning allows companies to model different pricing structures and analyse profitability based on various pricing models, providing deeper insights into financial performance.
Regulatory and Trade Compliance
Beyond the movement of goods, transporting people introduces its own regulatory challenges, including safety standards, passenger rights, and international travel restrictions. Workday Adaptive Planning offers multidimensional reporting capabilities, allowing companies to slice and dice financial data based on different dimensions and generate reports to meet regulatory requirements.
