What to look for in activity-based costing software in Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Activity-based costing only works if every allocation can be traced and defended. PlaidCloud assigns costs from sources to targets using real driver data, then shows the full traceback — so finance can explain any number in the model instead of pointing at a spreadsheet nobody understands.
What to evaluate
- Traceability: can you walk any allocated cost back to its drivers and source?
- Model size — whether performance holds at full transaction-level detail
- How driver data gets refreshed each period, and by whom
- Auditability and change history on the allocation logic itself
- Whether reporting is built in or requires a separate BI license

How it works
How PlaidCloud Works
Connect, model, and deploy on one platform — no black boxes, no lock-in.
Connect directly to your source systems
ERPs, CRMs, warehouses, and files — 140+ connectors plus a unified REST step. Ingest financial and transactional data without a rebuild.
Prepare and blend data of any size
Pre-built standard steps sanitize, organize, and align data from multiple sources, with AI-assisted low-code transformation doing the heavy lifting.
Build driver-based models and allocations
Assign costs from sources to targets using real driver data, with activity mapping and a full traceback on every allocated number.
Build workflows and apps with AI
Describe what you need through your tenant’s MCP server. PlaidCloud builds and deploys it, and answers “what moved margin?” with attributed root cause.
Deploy apps and share results
Schedule runs, publish Apache Superset dashboards, and share governed results across the business under your existing roles and permissions.
Why teams switch
Better. Faster. Cheaper. Safer.
Most stacks make you pick two. PlaidCloud refuses the trade-off.
One platform, end to end
Your own open Iceberg lakehouse, a visual and AI workflow canvas, enterprise dashboards, and deployable AI apps — in one place, with no black boxes and no lock-in.

Better
One platform, end to end
Your ERP does not measure true profitability.
Most finance teams still calculate profitability using spreadsheets built on top of ERP exports. This creates hidden cost allocations, slow reporting cycles, and limited visibility into margin.
- Manual Excel models
- Hidden allocation logic
- Slow financial reporting
- Incomplete profitability insights
