The Challenge

Why global manufacturers are moving beyond manual pricing 

Manual pricing processes mask significant margin potential within complex product configurations, scattered contract terms, and commodity cost volatility. Disconnected systems, spreadsheets, and manual approvals obscure margin risk, slow deal execution, and make consistent pricing nearly impossible at scale.

Commodity costs outpace pricing execution

Raw material prices fluctuate weekly but price lists update quarterly. When costs spike or indices shift, pricing lags - leaving manufacturers exposed to margin erosion or unprofitable deals.

Configuration complexity slows quoting

Engineered-to-order products require manual cost calculations and engineering involvement. Quotes stall, sales cycles extend, and customers turn to competitors who can respond faster.

Contract pricing is fragmented

Customer agreements scattered across CRMs, emails, and spreadsheets. Without a centralized source of truth, outdated or incorrect pricing is quoted, creating compliance risk and revenue leakage.

Discounting lacks guardrails

Without data-driven guidance. Pricing decisions are made in isolation, and margin leakage often surfaces only after sales happen.

Approvals delay deal execution

Pricing approvals depend on emails, spreadsheets, and manual reviews. Deals that should move quickly stall in review cycles, frustrating customers and internal teams alike.

Global Pricing lacks consistency and control

Regional teams manage pricing independently, leading to inconsistent logic across geographies and currencies. Without clear guardrails, manufacturers struggle to balance local flexibility with global control.
