Pricing Science for Distribution

Infor Pricing Science for Distribution analyzes customer, product, and historical sales transactions from distributors and returns pricing recommendations that are intended to increase profit margins.

This information is extracted from Distribution SX.e for analysis:

  • Invoice details
  • Customer characteristics
  • Customer price types
  • Product characteristics
  • Product price types
  • Rebate types
  • Product categories

The recommendations are imported into your ERP database as new pricing records. The records are specific to customers, customer ship tos, and product groups, supporting hierarchies that reflect the performance of similar groups. Customers can be grouped into clusters. What members of those clusters pay is assessed against sales volume, profitability, and loyalty. Analysis is also performed against the visibility of products, or how important the product is to your customers.

Pricing Science for Distribution is designed by Infor Dynamic Science Labs.
