An easy-to-use interface makes finding information and analyzing it simple. View details of mills, machines, perspective on companies and the industry as a whole. Roll up and drill down from machine details to global totals. With one-click produce graphs, lists, tables, and maps and export them to Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. Other tools analyze M&A scenarios, asset quality and viability, cost-of-production, company financials, and more.

The FisherSolve database contains a highly-complete description of every operating mill in the world making over 50 tons per day. The database is built to allow analysis of companies, assets, grades, production, furnish, people, equipment, process controls, environmental processes, operating costs, overhead, financials, news, your data, and any combination of them.

FisherSolve data comes from Fisher’s 25 years of research, a dedicated global research team, and data quality standards controlled by software technology. Daily updates, delivered automatically through FisherSolve, keep you up-to-date.

Fisher Logic Cost Benchmarking covers each grade and every mill in the global pulp and paper industry. Tools deliver insights into company strategy, competitiveness, and the capabilities of every paper machine, pulp line, and mill. Using state-of-the-art technology and the industry’s only global, dedicated research team, Fisher Logic has the reliability required to support the important decisions you make.

FisherSolve calculates costs-of-production across all mills with a mass-energy balance software technology designed by paper industry engineering experts. The system has several advantages:

Fisher Logic delivers a wide range of standard tables and graphs with the flexibility to modify them and export them to Excel, PowerPoint, or Word with one click. With roll-up and drill-down capability, you can see costs in dozens of different configurations, from machine-finished product to company-grade to global weighted averages.

And our state-of-the-art reporting allows you to drill much further down into costs to consider issues such as “Which fiber lines are more competitive (regardless of what paper product is produced)?” “Which paper machines are more competitive (regardless of the efficiency of their pulp mills)?” “How much energy of each type does each mill produce and consume?” “How competitive is each asset?” “How does the shape of the cost curve change under different economic scenarios?”

FisherSolve allows users perform "what-if" scenarios and sensitivity analyses to predict the effects of fluctuating exchange rates and manufacturing input costs. Results can be displayed in tables and charts with your choice of detail: by individual machine, mill, company, country, region, Finished Product, Grade, Major Grade, Total, and combinations of these.

Viability Index shows the economic health of each machine, pulp line, and mill and estimates the risk that it will close or will remain competitive. Viability Index also explains the why of an asset’s economic health in terms of its manufacturing competitiveness: cost position, technical age, size, strategic fit, access to low-cost transportation, impending investments, and other factors.

Viability Index shows asset viability under different economic conditions and in comparison with different peer groups. Using these features allows users to create SWOT analyses for machines, mills, and companies.
