“Within a timeframe of fifty days, Inera got an implementation of Solver with a connection to their service catalog and financial system that they now use for budgeting and calculating the costs and prices of their services, per an ABC-model that makes up the services from components and sub-components and resources.”

Replacing Manual Time Logs with a Scalable Cost Model

The Problem

Inera needed to calculate the true cost of each of the 30 IT services it manages for Sweden's public healthcare system, without requiring staff to log time manually. Its existing Excel-based system could not scale.

The Solution

Within 50 days, Inera implemented Solver Planning, connected to Microsoft Dynamics GP, to build an activity-based costing model from components, sub-components, and resources instead of manual time tracking.

The Result

Solver now generates prices that reflect Inera's actual service costs across all 30 IT services, giving the team a scalable platform for forecasting and cost allocation without Excel's limitations.
