Mid-sized plant manufacturer
- Company revenue
- ~€300M
- Active spare parts
- 40,000
- + over 1M long-tail items
- Pricing resources
- 1.2 FTE
- Full-time equivalents
The portfolio grew. Time for better pricing was scarce.
Over 40,000 active spare parts, plus more than a million long-tail items: this plant manufacturer had a complex portfolio and a pricing team of just 1.2 full-time equivalents.
Prices were maintained manually. Each pricing round kept the team busy for weeks. Capacity and a data-driven basis for systematic price differentiation were missing.
The task: build a pricing logic that could be applied across the entire portfolio.
| Area | Before | With nueprice |
|---|---|---|
| Price maintenance | Managed manually | Automated through rules |
| Pricing rounds | Several weeks | A few hours |
| Pricing strategy | Little scope for differentiation | Suitable methods for each price family |
From individual prices to a system that scales.
The manufacturer combined several pricing methods with nueprice. This created a structure that accounts for different spare parts and automates price setting.
-
Understand the starting point
First, existing price structures and competitive positioning were analyzed. This created the basis for targeted price differentiation.
-
Structure the portfolio
Spare parts were grouped into price families and assigned suitable methods. Customer value, competition and costs each played a role in the pricing logic.
-
Automate price setting
Rules made pricing applicable across the entire portfolio. The team could now complete pricing rounds in hours instead of weeks.
The result: more margin, less effort.
After go-live, the impact became visible in prices, margin and the time needed for pricing rounds.
- additional annual margin
- +€1.3M
- average price effect
- +3.7%
- estimated time saved per pricing round
- approx. 90%
