Contract Pricing Engine

Stop looking up pricing in spreadsheets. Your pricing is complex — customer-specific contracts, tier-based discounts, volume breaks, promotional pricing, and special quotes. We build a pricing engine that pulls from your ERP in real time and presents the right price to the right customer automatically.

01

The Problem

Complex Pricing Without Automation Means Margin Leakage

Workflow problems happen when customer, order, pricing, inventory, and fulfillment rules live in separate places and the interface hides that fragmentation instead of resolving it.

01

What leaders see

Teams keep working around the system.

Customers, sales, operations, and finance still rely on email, spreadsheets, screenshots, and manual status checks.

02

What is actually happening

The workflow lacks one governed path.

Rules and records are spread across tools, so each handoff creates a chance for delay, rework, missed context, or bad data.

03

What gets worse

Portal workflows create more exception work.

The front end looks cleaner while the back office absorbs the mismatch between what users request and what systems can trust.

02

What Changes

What Contract Pricing Engine includes.

Your pricing is complex — customer-specific contracts, tier-based discounts, volume breaks, promotional pricing, and special quotes. We build a pricing engine that pulls from your ERP in real time and presents the right price to the right customer automatically.

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.

03
