Immense complexity compounds profitability challenges in MRO

Scale, variability and complexity are hallmarks of MRO and industrial distribution. Distributors manage hundreds of thousands, often millions, of products, a large customer base and face increasing competition and cost volatility. Customers expect immediate availability and relevant system pricing. Over time, complexity gives way to overdiscounting and deviations, negatively impacting margin from pricing to agreements to rebates.  

Ecommerce expectations are shifting the commercial model to digital channels, and ensuring customers and products are priced appropriately and consistently whether online, at the shop counter, or with sales reps, adds a new layer of complexity. In this environment, the distributors who win are those who transform complexity into a pricing advantage rather than an operational burden.

Designed for fast-paced, high-volume environments

MRO runs on system, negotiated, and contract pricing. Lacking a relevant price for each unique customer-product scenario, sales teams fall back on price overrides to keep relationships moving. Costs shift faster than spreadsheets can keep up; deviations creep in, and rebates quietly change the economics of every transaction.

You need a platform that can effortlessly handle massive data sets to enable smarter, AI-driven  pricing, rebate and incentive automation, and actionable sales insights.
