Solution

is helping organisations around the world to enhance the way they visualise and analyse their fiscal transparency

Generate end-to-end maps of how costs flow, disperse and aggregate across your enterprise

Align cost distributions with measurable usage metric e.g. headcount, estate, licensing, etc.

Map budget deviations with low level fidelity to de-risk aggregated summaries

Account for internal revenues and expenses during aggregation to avoid double-counting

Map how different business units cross-charge for internal products, services, and IP

Identify shifts in localised OpEx and analyse impacts of fluctuating FX, Tariffs, and Taxes

Group indirect expenses into clear categories such as IT, real estate, or human resources.

Identify residual costs when a business unit is divested, devolved, or transformed.

Identify expenses tied to single products from those allocated to pooled/shared systems

Distinguish between fixed structural costs and costs which scale with volume/consumption.

Map Activity-Based Costing to link specific operational tasks directly to final outputs.

Generate a visual and analytical map of your organisation's Chart of Accounts

BOXARR Solutions by Design
Boxes | Arrows | Groups | Fields

Boxes

Generate Box Types to represent your Fiscal Landscape - e.g.: Orders; Invoices; Role/Actor; Tasks; Products; Services; Assets; etc.

Arrows

Generate Arrow Types to represent their interdependency relationships - e.g.: Cost Input; Cost Output; Task Flows; Value-Streams; Business Entity; Business Unit; etc.

Groups

Generate Group Types to represent contextual lenses - e.g.: Org Structure; Work Centers; Business Units; Value-Streams; Chart of Accounts; etc.

Properties

Assign relevant data Fields to each Type of Box/Arrow/Group to reflect their attributes and KPIs - e.g.: Numeric, Alpha-numeric, Boolean (Checkbox), HTML, URL, Temporal, Function Results, etc.

Data

Leverage data from your enterprise infosystems - e.g.: ERP; Legacy Finance Planning Tools; Spreadsheets; Databases; etc.
Leverage data from your external sources - e.g.: D&B Reports; Risk Reports; FX; Tariffs; Questionnaires; Intelligence Feeds; etc.

Fiscal Flows that Compute
Functional Analytics

BOXARR incorporates a powerful Functions Framework to enable computation and analyses of data and relationships across the Model.

Functions can compute data values within and between the Objects in a Model, and follow paths of Arrows, or hierarchies of Groups. For example:

Roll-ups (aggregations) of costs / time / risks / assets / etc.
Counts and summaries of up/downstream dependencies

Functions can also be utilised to conditionally format the Model Objects (e.g. apply RAG status or heatmap based upon a risk metrics).

Functions can be applied on demand to a Model as-a-whole or to individual Model Layers (e.g. to assess a change-scenario)

Functional Analytics

Constraining Complexity at Scale
Layers | Views | Roles

Model Layers

Configure and apply pre-Filters to slice-and-dice your Capability Model for different User Groups and use-cases - e.g.:
- "Layer A" = Holistic Operating Model
- "Layer B" = Fiscal Threads for "Value-Stream X"
- "Layer C" = Fiscal Aggregations for Work Center Y
Define which data attributes are available in the Properties Pane
Utilise Layers for Collaborative Editing (can merge changes)
Utilise Layers for performing 'What-if' change-impact Scenarios

Model Layer Views

Generate pre-configured default Views for:
- Dependency Networks / Data Tables / Gantt Schedules
Configure and apply additional pre-Filters per View
Define which Label Sets are available to Users
Define which Colour Sets are available to Users

User Roles

Define which Users/User Groups can utilise each Layer
Define User permissions - e.g.:
- Access / Edit / Merge / Import / Export / etc.

Layers Views Roles

Engage with your Fiscal Flows as
Dynamic Dependency Networks

With BOXARR, your Organisational Operating Model and Processes can also be visualised and navigated as dynamic dependency networks:

Switch the Model between Contextual Groupings - e.g.:
- Costflow Breakdown
- Responsible Work Centers
- Value Streams
- Geo Locations
Expand/Collapse the Network Depth for more/less fidelity
Zoom and pan the Network to focus on areas of concern
Show/hide configurable data Labels on Boxes/Arrows/Groups
Show/hide empty Groups (Groups which contain no activities)
Show/hide Colour Options (conditional formatting of Objects)
Apply variable 'weights' to Arrows based on selected metrics
Summarise Arrows with aggregated Data Labels
Apply data summaries to Groups (aggregated Box Data)

Network Views

Engage with your Fiscal Flows as
Dynamic Data Tables

With BOXARR, your Operating Model and Processes can also be visualised as dynamic Data Tables of KPIs:

Generate Data Tables of data for Boxes / Arrows / Groups
Assign, order, and sort columns by Data Fields & Functions
Incorporate Colour Functions for visual indicator metrics - e.g.
- RAG
- Risk
Define formatting styles for numeric, date, time, values
Export data to spreadsheets (User permissions required)

Data Table Views

Gantt Views

Fore/Backcast your Fiscal Flows with
Dynamic Gantt Schedules

BOXARR’s integrated scheduler generates Gantt Schedule visualisations of the Model using data attributes assigned to Boxes (e.g. Duration) and Arrows (e.g. Precedence).

Generate "Date" Schedules (i.e. actual calendar dates)
Generate "Relative" Schedules (i.e. Week-1 / Week-2 / etc.)
Switch the Schedule between Contextual Groupings
Zoom in/out of the Schedule to adjust the temporal scale
Expand/Collapse the Schedule Depth for more/less fidelity
Select Objects to reveal Earliest Start and Latest End
Select Objects to view their attributes in the Properties Pane
Show/hide Scheduling violations

Forecast: by scheduling from a specific Start date

Understand when your Objectives can be realised.

Backcast: by reverse scheduling from a specific Target date

Understand when investments and effort need to be made.

Review and Edit Your Data
Properties Pane

The Properties Pane displays selected data attributes of any Box or Arrow or Group selected by the User. The Properties Pane can be individually configured for each Model Layer for relevance, and for sensitive data protection (e.g. where some data Fields/Functions may not be relevant to ,or may be withheld from, certain User Groups).

Display Field values and Function values by Object Type
Field/Functions can be sorted into collapsible Tabs for easy navigation
Field values can be edited when the Model is in "Edit Mode"

This approach ensures your Model Views remain clear and uncluttered for effective visual analysis - while enabling detailed information to be easily accessed by Users on demand.

The Properties Pane can be hidden by the User when not required.

Properties Pane

Navigate and Focus by
Parametric Filters

In addition to the preset Filters applied to your Model Layers, Users can configure and apply their own parametric User Filters. For example:

Filter to specific Costflow Threads
Filter to specific Value-Stream/Capability Threads
Filter to specific Cost Types
Filter to specific Programs/Projects
Filter to specific Work Centres
Filter to specific Locations
Filter to specific paths of aggregations
etc.

User Filters can be reconfigured on-the-fly, to follow and focus on areas and aspects of concern.

Filtering

Surface KPIs
Dynamic Labelling

Users can switch between "Label Sets" to surface different collections of KPI reporting data (Field/Function values) onto the Objects in the Model - enabling rapid visual analysis:

Labels on Boxes

Display configurable Sets of KPI data on Boxes

Labels on Arrows

Display configurable sets of KPI data on Arrows (6 positions per Arrow)
Arrows can be 'Summarised' when Groups are collapsed
Summarised Arrows display aggregated values (min/max/sum/count/etc.)
Summarised Arrows can be "Split" by up/downstream Group Type
Arrows can also be "Weighted" by a selected Field or Function value

Labels on Groups

Display configurable Sets of KPI data on Groups
Group Data:
- Display Group data which auto-aggregates according to Group Depth
Box Data Summaries:
- Display mini-pivot tables of Box Data for Boxes within the Group
- Auto-aggregates according to Group Depth
- Pivots can be "Split" by variable Group Type (up/downstream)

Labelling

Visual Analytics
Dynamic Colour Analytics

Users can switch between "Colour Sets" to apply different Colour-by Functional Analyses onto the Objects in the Model - enabling rapid visual analysis:

Colouring Boxes

Colour Boxes by their Box Type (default); or
Colour by a Function (e.g. a Task Completion heatmap, etc.)

Colouring Arrows

Colour Arrows by their Arrow Type (default); or
Colour by a Function (e.g. inherited slippage, etc.)

Colouring Groups

Colour Groups by their Group Type (default); or
Colour by a Function (e.g. a cumulative risk metric value, etc.)

BOXARR Data I/O and API

Most organisations struggle to manage multiple 'siloed' information systems, tools, and data repositories...

BOXARR can be effectively utilised as the "Aggregating Overlay" - enabling you to collate, aggregate, visualise, and analyse the holistic data across the system of systems: identifying hidden risks of interdependency and revealing hidden opportunities for opimisation.

BOXARR supports data-exchange (Input/Output) with 3rd-prty systems via both CSV import/export and configurable BOXAR JSON API:

Import Project data from 3rd-party planning/infosystems
Export data to 3rd-party planning/infosystems
Round-trip data with unique Internal and External Ids

Data Exchange

Reflect Your Reality With
'Real World' Scalability

A significant problem with legacy modelling tools is their inability to scale to the actual size of challenges you're are facing. Even a small organisation can't be realistically reflected in a Slide, or a Diagram, or a Systems Drawing - let alone reflecting a multinational enterprise.

BOXARR enables you to build and evolve Models which reflect the 'real world' scale of your organisations; with the breadth, depth, and fidelity to truly understand and manage your complexity:

Operate Models which can scale from simple systems to highly complex networks incorporating hundreds of thousands of Boxes and millions of data attributes.
