Starting Point

Complex spare parts portfolio – limited pricing resources

What impact does the right price have on the margin of a plant manufacturer with over 40,000 active spare parts and more than one million long-tail items? Until now, pricing was managed manually – with limited resources, long cycles and no data-driven decision basis.

The mid-sized plant manufacturer faced a typical challenge: increasing complexity and a growing portfolio, but the pricing team with only 1.2 FTE could not systematically manage price maintenance for thousands of items. Pricing rounds dragged on for weeks, strategic price differentiation fell by the wayside.

We needed a scalable pricing system for over 40,000 spare parts – that automates our pricing decisions.
