Imagine having a financial “crystal ball” for your site selection strategy. Imagine possessing a financial time machine that
would allow you to predict your financial future and examine the past. Imagine having the capability to financially
prototype infinite DC scenarios and present with confidence well thought out solutions for the CFO, CEO and Board of
Directors.
The new 4Syte™ NET tool just developed by Symmedian is unparalleled in the industry. The 4Syte™ NET is all about
sophisticated financial evaluation including predictive analyses, financial prototyping, balance sheet implications, cash
flows, P&L impact, cost of capital, overall project IRR, NPV, amortization schedules, book value, remaining loan balances,
depreciation, interest and principal paid, supply chain total cost to serve, scenario building and much, much more. All of
these factors play an important role in the site selection decision.
Up until now, there were no tools available that could provide this kind of vital analyses for the project team and the key
executive decision makers.

Network re-designs create inventory optimization opportunities that need to be analyzed and rolled into the
overall site selection strategy.

5. 4Syte™NET
Inventory profiling is an important factor in any network re-design. Inbound and outbound activity can be
contrasted to exploit opportunities to improve replenishment cycles and excessive inventory builds.

6. 4Syte™NET
Space requirements based on correct inventory planning is critical to planning for your new DC network.
4Stye can evaluate cubic or square feet projections based on minimum, maximum or average thresholds.
Inventory fluctuations and standard deviation are also analyzed.

7. 4Syte™NET
Examine your entire real estate portfolio at a glance. Do you know what your overall Net Effective Rent Rate is for your entire building
network? Sort your facilities by any cost factor? Generate aggregate budgets by facility type, size or region and compare
performance? Is it even feasible that your network is flexible enough for a re-design?

8. 4Syte™NET
Build infinite scenarios and generate detailed budgets for each. Move project time lines, shorten or lengthen the financial time period
under evaluate with the stroke of a mouse. Compare your current lease cost to current market conditions. SYMMEDIAN DOES ALL
THE DRIVING!

9. 4Syte™NET
Powerful financial reports with no spreadsheet errors for your entire portfolio of properties, transportation, labor, overhead, and overall
supply chain cost per unit by scenario.

10. 4Syte™NET
If your project involves container movements from ports or railroads, it is important to factor in these cost to each unique
scenario.

11. 4Syte™NET
Examine all transportation modes of each alternative under evaluation.

12. 4Syte™NET
Detailed labor analytics are a must in well executed site selection strategies.

13. 4Syte™NET
Your site selection strategy would not be complete without factoring in the impact that economic incentives will have
on your project. Incentives are typically over weighted and not properly evaluated. 4SYTE ensures the proper financial

14. 4Syte™NET
Network re-designs ultimate goal should be to lower the cost per unit through your company’s supply chain.
4Syte NET aggregates real estate, transportation, labor and inventory cost for every scenario under evaluation
and breaks down the comparison to a cost per unit measurement and provides detailed variances analyses by
scenario.

15. 4Syte™NET
Once all of the data is sanitized and captured in 4Stye.NET our experts will build MASTER BUDGETS for each scenario being
considered. This allows key decision makers to have a more holistic view of the overall financial impact of a network re-design.

16. 4Syte™NET
Large projects often necessitate the use of company capital. It is not always obvious what the right solution is until you
understand the Internal Rate of Return on the capital needed for the project. Some scenarios will require less capital than
others, often leading to alternatives that are not obvious in a straight up traditional transportation or network optimization
study.
