Port Logistics
Port Logistics Industry EPM Solutions

Port Logistics refers to the development of integrated logistics networks in port areas, leveraging geographical and economic advantages alongside modern logistics concepts. Utilizing advanced communication technologies and automated transportation functions, ports have expanded their role to include cargo transfer, overseas and inland distribution, making them critical hubs within supply chains that provide both logistics and value-added services.
Driven by global economic integration and the Belt and Road Initiative, the port logistics industry continues to grow, yet also faces intensified competition and a surge in market entrants amid limited resources. Consequently, port logistics enterprises must adopt comprehensive budget management to strengthen internal capabilities and achieve strategic development goals.

Industry Pain Points
01
Intense Industry Competition
Against the backdrop of global economic integration, the port logistics industry is experiencing unprecedented opportunities for growth. In particular, the Belt and Road Initiative has further optimized the market environment while intensifying competition. New enterprises have been emerging rapidly, resulting in a large number of players in the market, yet relatively limited customer resources.
02
Challenges in Comprehensive Budget Management
To cope with market pressures, many port logistics companies are adopting comprehensive budget management. However, issues such as insufficient awareness and inconsistent foundational practices across business segments remain. Extensive and unscientific budgeting often leads to irrational resource allocation and poor cost control, ultimately impairing overall operational efficiency.
03
Problems in Budget Management
As a specialized provider of market research and EPM implementation services, Intcube has observed that many port logistics companies still exhibit weak budget management awareness, adopt unscientific control methods, and fail to integrate budgeting closely with performance incentives. As a result, budget management often becomes a mere formality and fails to play a vital role in corporate management.

Enhancing the Comprehensive Budget Management System
While many port logistics companies recognize the importance of budget management and have established relevant systems, they often encounter obstacles during implementation. As a result, budgeting processes remain rudimentary and ineffective, with policies frequently not being enforced. In many cases, budget management is confined to the finance department without active involvement from other units, leading to slow progress and diminished impact.

Aligned with the operational characteristics and needs of port management, Intcube EPM provides a solution tailored to support business growth and refined management. Key features include:
▪ A sound comprehensive budgeting system
▪ Clear organizational structure
▪ Multi-dimensional indicator system
▪ Standardized budgeting process
▪ Robust execution and control mechanisms
Integrated Business-Finance Driven Budgeting System
Annual Budget Preparation:
1.Profit and loss budgets, including revenue, cost, and expense projections.
2.Throughput, fixed asset investment, fund management, and project investment budgets.
3.Multi-year capital project budgeting with integrated data, enabling ongoing control over long-term investments.
4.Text and date functions to manage contract and project life cycles (e.g., full lifecycle management of infrastructure projects—name, cost, start/end dates) and analyze impacts of marketing campaigns on sales revenue.
Group-Wide Standardized Reporting with Support for Diversified Operations
Intcube EPM enables group-level unified budgeting templates while allowing subsidiaries to customize based on specific business characteristics. Through both standardized and personalized forms, it addresses challenges caused by diverse business types and complex budgeting needs in port logistics.
Multi-Dimensional Budget Management Across Business Formats
Linking group-wide standards with multi-dimensional support, Intcube EPM facilitates budgeting across:
1.Regional and organizational dimensions (horizontal, vertical, matrix structures)
2.Business dimensions (port operations, manufacturing, finance, etc.)
3.Product dimensions (category, specification, model, etc.)
Precision Management of Standard Costs for Core Handling Operations
Given the high operational costs of port logistics—driven by transport infrastructure and human resources—many companies use standard costing methods for evaluation. However, the diversity of cargo types (e.g., stone, appliances, chemicals, steel, grain) and container status (full/empty) makes accurate cost estimation complex. Most companies still rely on experience-based subjective assessments.

Intcube EPM enables refined cost control through:
1.Unified platform deployment, improving timeliness and reducing manual workload
2.Adaptive budget management aligned with market conditions and operational realities
3.Data sharing across departments for greater transparency and timely corrective actions
Execution Control Center for Long-Term Group Development
Centered on comprehensive budget and accounting management, Intcube EPM helps establish a unified execution control center to empower group financial management. The budget control system integrates with operational platforms (e.g., ERP, payment, reimbursement systems) to provide detailed approval guidelines and enable pre-event and in-process control.

1.End-to-end cost management: Budget breakdown → payment request → approval → financial review → voucher generation
2.Full lifecycle investment project management: Project launch → budget allocation → contract signing → progress tracking → payment → project completion
End-to-End Business Control for Investment Projects
As asset-intensive operations, port logistics companies require significant fixed asset investments. Diverse cargo types necessitate varied equipment, infrastructure, and staffing—all contributing to high costs. Without scientific management, these assets may end up underutilized.

Intcube EPM supports end-to-end business control with modules including:
▪ Annual budget preparation
▪ Project execution control
▪ Expense execution monitoring
▪ Budget adjustment and variance analysis
▪ Seamless integration with existing operational systems
Flexible Mid-Year Overall and Partial Budget Adjustment Mechanisms
Intcube EPM supports multi-version budget management. For example:
▪ The original budget serves as the base version
▪ Adjustment versions (V1, V2, etc.) record only changes
▪ The executed version = base version + adjustment versions
Companies can also design specific mid-year adjustment forms based on granularity and reporting needs. Post-adjustment data becomes the new control benchmark.

Case Studies

SPG，Group Enterprise Comprehensive Budget Management: A Case Exemplar

SPG，Group Enterprise Comprehensive Budget Management: A Case Exemplar
As the consulting implementation partner for the project, Intcube conducted in-depth research into SPG's current comprehensive budgeting management status and requirements. To address the diverse needs of different groups and business units within SPG, a budget consolidation reporting system was established, integrating budget preparation, review, aggregation, offsetting, and consolidation. Additionally, a dual-approach budgeting system—based on both management and legal entity standards—was implemented. This enables user-input management data to be shared and analyzed alongside legal entity data derived from management-level entries.
