“Monitor and adjust” refers to the process of continuously tracking pricing performance and analyzing historical internal and external data and making necessary optimizations in the pricing strategy to maintain the alignment with market dynamics and commercial objectives.
In line with the concept of continuous improvement, Monitoring & Adjusting are the third pillar for successful pricing decisions.
Shipping Profile Compliance analysis
Detect gap between actual contracts’ revenue, margin and transaction profile and committed/expected values defined at quote/contracting time. Required the implementation of OP Smart Quote. Instant visibility on contract performance with KPIs, alerts and ad-hoc reports: revenue, transactions, margin, price benchmark, growth, trend analysis, opportunity recommendations and risk alerts.
Profit Leakage detection
Systematically compare invoiced amounts and simulation of rate card on shipping profile. Identify gaps between actual shipping profile and expected/committed profile (in terms of revenue but also mix by product, destination, weight, etc.). These gaps can explain a level of margin lower than expected. Smart Contract quantifies the value left on the table to help prioritize actions.
