The Challenge

Why industrial manufacturers move beyond manual “engineering-in-the-loop” pricing

Industrial manufacturers lose margins in configuration complexity, negotiated discounts, project quoting exceptions, and lagging cost recovery.

Configured product pricing breaks at scale

Manual costing and engineering involvement slows response time and causes inconsistent markups across similar configurations.

CPQ quotes fast, but pricing is still wrong

When CPQ is fed static logic and price books, reps rely on gut feel and ad-hoc discounting - especially on new or rarely-sold configurations.

Discounting lacks commercial guardrails

Deals get negotiated with incomplete context, meaning margin leakage is often discovered only after orders ship.

Industrial quoting is multi-dimensional

Volume tiers, customer segments, competitive intensity, lead times, and configuration attributes all affect the right price, making spreadsheets brittle.

Cost recovery lags reality

Industrial inputs and supplier costs move faster than list updates and contract refresh cycles, creating hidden erosion across regions.

The Solution

Modernize deal execution and protect margin at scale

Configured product pricing that scales with attributes

Move beyond cost-plus pricing by using optimization to determine market-aligned markups for entirely unique configurations.

  • Attribute-driven logic
    Define pricing logic once by product attributes and selling circumstances to price new configurations consistently.
  • Optimized markups
    Use intelligent optimization to determine the right markup based on selling circumstance.
  • Seamless expansion
    Expand products and options effortlessly without rebuilding entire price structures from scratch.

CPQ-connected deal guidance for faster, safer quoting

Inject optimized guidance into CPQ so reps can quote quickly while pricing teams retain complete governance.

  • Actionable boundaries

    Provide target, stretch, and floor guidance that sellers can apply confidently during live negotiations.
  • Integrated intelligence
    Embed optimized pricing guidance directly into existing quoting workflows to get the price right from the start.
  • Margin-driven workflows

    Route exception approvals based on defined thresholds and margin impact, eliminating emails and spreadsheets.

Controlled discounting and pricing science with explainability

Maintain “human-in-the-loop” control so pricing teams can tune outcomes without breaking governance or user trust.

  • Explainable science

    Deliver optimization that is transparent, flexible, and actionable to drive high adoption among sales teams.
  • Contextual guardrails

    Use customer segmentation and specific deal context to reduce blanket discounting and stabilize realized margins.
  • Human-in-the-loop control

    Empower pricing teams to fine-tune system outcomes manually while maintaining strict governance.

Contract and cost-recovery execution for industrial reality

Centralize contract terms and special pricing logic so quoting and order execution never drift from negotiated intent.

  • Centralized logic
    Ensure that your quoting process and order execution stay perfectly aligned with negotiated contract terms.
  • Automated updates
    Automate pricing updates and price list governance to continuously keep pace with changing market conditions.
  • Global execution
    Maintain global governance and consistency across multi-currency entities and regions without sacrificing local flexibility.

Performance tracking that closes the loop

Reinforce credibility with sales and pricing teams by learning from actual outcomes to improve future guidance.

  • Leakage identification
    Track predicted versus actual outcomes to pinpoint exactly where margin leakage is coming from.
  • Behavior analysis
    Uncover hidden margin erosion driven by configuration patterns, discount behavior, and segment drift.
  • Continuous learning
    Continuously improve future pricing guidance and models by learning directly from actual sales outcomes.
