Use Case: Operational Phase
During the operational phase, the ability to track actual performance and analyze variances between forecasts and actuals is a key issue in project management.
The financial model established during the investment or financing setup serves as the reference point. It centralizes the project’s economic assumptions, contractual parameters, and projected cash flows.
It is therefore necessary to develop a tailored monitoring file, capable of incorporating data from the initial model while adapting to the operational specifics of each project.
However, traditional spreadsheet-based tools generally do not offer a built-in structure for post-financing monitoring.
What are the key points related to financial modeling during the operational phase ?
Operational monitoring covers two key phases in a project's lifecycle:
The construction phase, during which the model is used to track physical and financial progress, manage drawdowns on long-term debt, and engage with financial partners based on the contractual forecast.
The operational phase, where the model becomes a tool for budget management, cash flow tracking, and reporting to both internal and external stakeholders.
The application automatically generates an operational model from the existing financial model, ensuring seamless continuity of data and assumptions.
How does the Peerception application address these challenges ?
The interface allows users to enter actual data (CAPEX, OPEX, revenues, etc.) alongside forecasted data. Variances are calculated dynamically and can be visualized through interactive charts.
The model includes mechanisms for updating the IRR and NPV, based on a combination of actual cash flows and future projections, enabling real-time reassessment of the project's valuation.
Peerception solution provides a technological answer to this challenge.
The data architecture offered by Peerception facilitates the automated generation of variance monitoring reports, optimizing reporting processes and communication with financiers.
Several team members working on the same project? The application allows for access sharing. All information is centralized in a single file, eliminating the need to duplicate or create multiple versions of the same document.
In short, the solution transforms a static model into a dynamic, robust management tool, aligned with the operational requirements of both technical and financial teams.
What are the benefits ?
In summary, the operational model allows you to:
Enter actual data and automatically compare it to the forecast scenario
Visualize variances through clear and interactive charts
Update shareholder profitability indicators such as IRR and NPV in real time"
With the application, you gain:
Significant time savings, thanks to the one-click automatic generation of the operational model (from a financial model built in Peerception)
A simplified experience, with a data structure that mirrors the financial model, ensuring quick onboarding
Enhanced reliability, through a locked framework and editing restricted to actual data inputs
Near-instant updates to your company’s valuation based on a combination of actual and projected data
