The Homepage is the first screen you see when you log in to SIMCEL. It provides an at-a-glance view of your fiscal year performance without needing to open any plan or scenario.

​
Key metric cards

Three cards at the top display your most critical financial KPIs:
CardWhat it shows
Net Sales ValueTotal net sales in currency
Gross MarginGross profit as a percentage of net sales
EBITEarnings before interest and tax
Each card includes:
  • YTD (Year-To-Date) - Actual data up to the latest actual date
  • YTG (Year-To-Go) - Remaining months projected from your Tactical plan
  • FY Total - Combined YTD + YTG
  • vs. last year - Trend indicator (red when below prior year)
  • Sparkline - A mini chart with a solid line (actual portion), a transition dot, and a dashed line (forecast portion)
Three horizontal metric cards at the top of the homepage, each showing YTD value, YTG projection, FY total, trend vs last year in red/green, and a sparkline with solid/dashed portions

​
YTD and YTG projections chart

A bar chart that groups your fiscal year into 12 months, comparing three data series:
  • Actual (YTD) - Consolidated actuals for months up to the latest actual date
  • Budget Plan - Shown in grey for year-to-go months
  • Tactical Plan - Shown in red for year-to-go months
The transition month (where actual data ends and projections begin) shows all three bars side by side. Use the metric dropdown to switch between Net Sales Value and EBIT. Hover over any bar to see the variance versus other series.
Bar chart with 12 months on the x-axis. Left months show Actual bars only, transition month shows all three bars side by side, remaining months show Budget (grey) and Tactical (red) bars

​
Fiscal year achievement donut

A concentric ring chart tracking your progress toward fiscal year targets:
  • Outer ring: Time Elapsed - Portion of fiscal year that has passed (days elapsed / total days)
  • Middle ring: Net Sales Value - Actual YTD / (Actual YTD + Plan YTG)
  • Inner ring: EBIT - Same achievement formula applied to EBIT
If the metric ring extends beyond the Time Elapsed ring, your performance is tracking ahead of pace.
