The Challenge

Why CPG Pricing Teams Are Moving Beyond Spreadsheets

CPG pricing is no longer a simple “set a list price and discount” exercise. Commercial outcomes now depend on tightly managing the net price waterfall and Revenue Growth Management (RGM) rhythms across complex partner ecosystems.

Global vs. local pricing tension

Teams struggle to maintain global brand consistency while enabling necessary local market adaptation, country-specific structures, and route-to-market differences.

Price-pack complexity

Frequent pack changes, price points, multipacks, and channel packs introduce severe complexity in governance, analytics, and execution.

Multi-currency and margin volatility

Continuous foreign exchange shifts and rapid cost swings drive constant pressure on realized margins across international regions.

Channel conflict and partner execution

Pricing and terms must work seamlessly across modern trade, traditional trade, distributors, and digital channels without breaking governance.

Trade spend and claims leakage

Complex promotions, rebates, and scanbacks create inaccurate accruals, payout errors, and deduction-driven revenue leakage.
