Price to win margin, not just orders.
Most manufacturers price by cost-plus formula or by whatever the sales rep negotiated last time. AI pricing models factor in material costs, competitive positioning, customer segment, order size, inventory position, and market conditions — governed by business rules so every price stays within approved boundaries.
Pricing That Leaks Margin on Every Order
- →Sales reps discounting to close deals with no visibility into true margin impact
- →Cost-plus pricing that ignores market conditions, customer value, and competitive positioning
- →Contract pricing that hasn’t been reviewed in years while material costs have moved 20–40%
- →No system-level enforcement of floor prices, discount limits, or margin thresholds
AI Pricing Optimization
Dynamic Price Modeling
ML models that calculate optimal pricing by factoring in material costs, production costs, competitive market data, customer segment, order size, and inventory levels. Prices update as inputs change — not once a quarter.
Margin Protection Rules
Business rules that enforce floor prices, maximum discount percentages, and minimum margin thresholds at the system level. Sales reps work within guardrails — exceptions require approval workflows, not overrides.
Customer Segment Pricing
Different pricing strategies for dealers, distributors, OEM accounts, and direct buyers — each reflecting the actual cost-to-serve, volume commitments, and competitive dynamics of that segment.
Contract & Volume Tier Management
Automated contract pricing with volume tier calculations, rebate tracking, and renewal pricing recommendations. The system tracks what was promised and enforces it — no spreadsheet drift.
Competitive Intelligence Integration
Incorporate market pricing data, competitor price movements, and commodity index changes into pricing recommendations. React to market shifts in days, not months.
ERP Price Sync
Optimized prices push directly to Odoo's price master. Dealers and sales reps always see current, approved pricing without manual updates.
The Engagement Process
Pricing Audit
Analyze your current pricing structure — price lists, discount patterns, contract terms, margin distribution, and cost basis. Identify where margin leakage is highest and quantify the opportunity.
Model Design & Rules Engine
Design the pricing model architecture and business rules engine. Define floor prices, segment strategies, approval workflows, and the inputs the model will optimize against.
Historical Analysis & Training
Train models on historical transaction data — win/loss patterns, discount-to-close rates, margin outcomes, and customer lifetime value. The model learns what pricing strategies actually win profitable business.
ERP Integration & Governance
Connect pricing outputs to your ERP price master with approval workflows, audit trails, and override logging. Every price change is traceable and governed.
Production & Optimization
Deploy with margin tracking dashboards, A/B testing for pricing strategies, and continuous model refinement. Measure margin improvement against baseline monthly.
