Within the current socio-economic climate, businesses are facing unprecedented challenges and concerns. According to Stats SA’s Business Impact Survey of the COVID-19 Pandemic, 85.4% of South African businesses had a turnover below their normal rates, and 46.4% of South African businesses reported a temporary closure or paused trading activity.
“These are exceedingly difficult times. Business predictability has become increasingly problematic to achieve and maintain,” explains Michele Peruch, Business Development Manager at Oracle Services at iOCO.
In these uncertain times, businesses are highlighting the following key questions:
- How can a business be supported to achieve and maintain accurate business predictability?
- In what ways can planning, budgeting, and forecasting cycles be reduced to allow more time for strategic intervention and increased productivity?
- How can organisational financial planning be supported to increase revenue and protect against the need for temporary closure?
