What leaders see
Customers and partners still ask for status manually.
The portal exists, but email, calls, spreadsheets, and internal screenshots remain the dependable path.

Contract Pricing Engine
Stop looking up pricing in spreadsheets. Manufacturers and distributors manage customer agreements, quantity breaks, product rules, surcharges, effective dates, and approved exceptions across ERP and spreadsheets. We centralize that logic and expose the authorized price to portals, sales teams, and order workflows.
01
The Problem
Contract pricing rules are fragmented across systems, spreadsheets, and individual knowledge.
Portal problems begin when a cleaner interface is placed over fragmented records, permissions, and workflows without resolving who owns the transaction and what each audience may see.
What is actually happening
The experience is disconnected from the operating record.
Pricing, inventory, orders, documents, permissions, and exceptions do not follow one governed path.
What gets worse
Self-service creates back-office exception work.
Users see incomplete or stale information while internal teams reconcile what the portal accepted.
02
What Changes
What Contract Pricing Engine includes.
Manufacturers and distributors manage customer agreements, quantity breaks, product rules, surcharges, effective dates, and approved exceptions across ERP and spreadsheets. We centralize that logic and expose the authorized price to portals, sales teams, and order workflows.
01
Customer-Specific Pricing
Each customer sees their contracted pricing — negotiated rates, custom discounts, and special agreements. Pricing sourced from your ERP, not a separate system.
02
Tier-Based Pricing
Automatic tier and volume-based pricing — the right price at the right quantity. Breakpoints, cumulative discounts, and mix-and-match rules supported.
03
Promotional Pricing
Time-bound promotional pricing with start/end dates, eligible products, and customer segments. Promotions managed in the ERP and reflected in real time.
04
Quote-to-Order
Special pricing quotes that convert to orders with one click. Quote history, approval tracking, and expiration management.
05
Pricing Audit Trail
Every price displayed, every discount applied, and every override is logged. Full audit trail for compliance, margin analysis, and dispute resolution.
06
Margin Protection
Floor pricing, discount caps, and margin thresholds that prevent below-cost selling. Alerts for pricing exceptions that need approval.

What must be defined before engineering begins
- What the business needs to change and why.
- Which systems, records, risks, and readiness gaps shape the work.
- What should be built, how it fits the architecture, and in what order.
