HEINI · Controlling
See deviations while there is still time to act.
HEINI connects the approved plan, committed purchase orders, posted actuals and private outlook — separate, sourced and tied to the same deviation.
No crystal ball and no financial advice: source, date, range and missing data remain visible. An outlook never silently becomes the plan.
- Budget
- Commitment
- Actual
- Outlook
- Product cost
From product to decision.
HEINI sees what your business costs. Before it surprises you.
Supplier terms, manufacturing cost, budget and forecast stay on the same case. You do not receive another dashboard. You receive the decision, its reason and its consequence.
PROCUREMENT · SUPPLIERS & COST
Buy better. Not merely cheaper.
Example conversation
- SUSI
One supplier is cheaper. The other delivers sooner.
- HEINI
Price, quantity scale, validity and lead time are compared. One delivery confirmation is missing. You decide which option fits the order.
Supplier offers · stock · promised date
The standard supplier will only confirm the date tomorrow.
PRODUCTION LEAD · COST & CAPACITY
See why a product is becoming more expensive.
Example conversation
- You · at work
The bill of materials is unchanged. Why are manufacturing costs rising?
- SUSI
We check material, freight and the work centre.
- HEINI
The comparison shows the cost drivers. Energy data is stale; clarify that source before approving the changed plan.
BOM · supplier price · freight · work centre
Energy data for work centre 04 is older than the selected period.
CONTROLLING · PLAN & DEVIATION
See the deviation while there is still time to act.
Example conversation
- You · at work
Are we going over the materials budget?
- HEINI
In this example, the outlook is €18,000 higher. Two supplier confirmations are missing. Cause and uncertainty stay visible; the approved plan changes only through your decision.
Predictions and TimesFM: what does the forecast need?
The integration needs a provisioned runtime and an enabled task. Without those, a fallback calculation must not appear as a TimesFM result. Plan approval remains separate.
The result must identify the method used, data date and uncertainty. We assess availability and data quality for your specific use case.
Approved plan · purchase orders · invoices · forecast snapshot
Two supplier confirmations are still missing; confidence remains limited.
TEAM LEAD · MY AREA
Your area. Only the decisions you are allowed to make.
Example conversation
- You · at work
Can I approve the alternative material for this order?
- HEINI
You see the decision for your area and its effect on contribution margin. Other sites remain outside your role. Review, approve or return it to purchasing.
Area approval · order · capacity state
The material alternative changes the contribution margin by €1.20 per unit.
MANAGEMENT · RUN THE BUSINESS
Lead the exception. Not the spreadsheet.
Example conversation
- You · at work
Would the new packing line make sense for our sites?
- HEINI
Benefit, budget, risk and alternatives are prepared. One site is missing. The decision file shows that gap before you rely on the group view.
Investment revision · budget · capacity · risk assessment
Dresden's latest capacity state is missing. The group view is incomplete.
EXTERNAL APPROVER · ONE PURPOSE
A partner sees one approval. Not your whole business.
Example conversation
- You · at work
Our partner needs to take part in the decision. What do they see?
- HEINI
Only the approved package for this purpose, with a role and expiry. If the reviewed version changes, its approval is blocked. Raw documents stay outside the package.
Approved package · role · purpose · expiry
A newer revision blocks this package immediately.
Nothing is ordered, posted, paid or invested without the responsible go-ahead.
What HEINI takes off your desk
The cause reaches you before the month-end commentary.
- 01
Plan and reality remain distinguishable
Budget, commitment, actual, outlook and simulation carry their own state, source and responsibility.
- 02
Explain the deviation down to the product
Material, freight, scrap, machine, labour, energy and overhead show what moves cost and margin.
- 03
A decision instead of a reporting ritual
HEINI brings cause, financial consequence, recommendation, alternative and required role into one reviewable file.
Explore the workflow and further possibilities
How the work moves forward
How the work leaves your desk.
HEINI keeps budget, commitments, actuals and outlook separate, connects every figure to its source and explains which case carries the deviation.
- 01
Understand the input
The private outlook is €18,000 above the approved budget in the example.
- 02
Connect the relevant truth
Budget: €240k · revision 03 · Committed + actual: €220k · sourced · Outlook: €258k · private
- 03
Expose the exception
Two supplier confirmations are missing; the outlook stays private and never silently becomes the plan.
- 04
Return a decision
Cause, range, sources and potential plan consequence are reviewable together.
What is already included
Planning and controlling with visible provenance.
01Budget and revision
Period, scenario, responsible area and approved version remain traceable.
02Product cost and margin
From list price to contribution margin, every component traces back to its source.
03Outlook with boundaries
Model state, range, drivers and data freshness explain the result; insufficient data never creates a strong recommendation.
04Investment consequence
Amount, benefit, payback, risk, alternatives and budget effect sit together before approval.
Trust · human decision
Act earlier. Never mix financial states.
HEINI prepares the deviation and scenario. An outlook remains an outlook; only your separate approval changes the plan.
- Source visible
- Open question visible
- Responsible role
- Your go-ahead
- Confidence still limited
- Two supplier confirmations are missing; the outlook stays private and never silently becomes the plan.
- Deviation file
- Cause, range, sources and potential plan consequence are reviewable together.
Your business. Your case.
