When the Market Moves, Does Your Model Move With It?

Static drivers are dangerous in a volatile market. Discover how Costvela's automated data feeds keep your advice relevant in real-time.

Most financial models are built on a "Snapshot in Time."

You pull the spot rates on Monday. You enter the inflation assumptions from the Q3 report. You hard-code the current LIBOR curve. Then you send the model on Friday.

By the time your stakeholders open it, the world has changed. The model is technically correct based on your inputs, but practically obsolete based on reality. In a volatile market, latency is liability.

The Integration Imperative

Costvela introduces a new standard for model fidelity: Live Data Feeds.

We believe your model should breathe. That’s why we built the Integration Engine, allowing you to pipe live market data directly into your Assumptions layer.

  • Commodities: Link directly to metal or energy spot prices.
  • Currencies: Feed live FX rates into your consolidation logic.
  • Operations: Connect to your ERP to pull yesterday's actuals automatically.

Automated Intelligence

This isn't just about saving you the manual effort of copy-pasting values. It's about Automated Intelligence.

When the market moves, your Costvela model moves with it.

  1. The Trigger: A feed updates a core driver (e.g., Aluminum rises 2%).
  2. The Flow: The change cascades through your BOM, COGS, and Working Capital logic instantly.
  3. The Alert: You can set triggers to notify stakeholders when key KPIs breach a threshold due to external factors.

This allows you to answer the question your CEO hasn't asked yet: "How does this morning's news affect our bottom line?"

With a static file, you'd need hours to run the analysis. With Costvela, you simply open the dashboard. The answer is already there.
