Summary:
Xvantage has enhanced the Global Pricing Engine (GPE) platform that calculates product costs, discounts, and pricing recommendations, which for some are already available, while others are in progress. These new pricing transparency capabilities provide greater visibility into how prices are calculated and adjusted throughout the pricing process.
Question: What are the recent pricing transparency enhancements on the Global Pricing Engine?
Answer:
GPE does not make recommendations. Rather, GPE can adjust the cost thanks to the functionality "skip additional cost".
• Cost uplift support – Pricing teams can now review detailed landed cost components, including tax, duty, freight, and other uplift costs that contribute to final product pricing.
• Cost-to-serve transparency – Pricing simulations now display configurable pricing adjustments and additive cost modifiers, helping teams understand how service-related costs impact final pricing and margins.
• Discount sequencing support – Multiple discounts and vendor programs are applied using standardized sequencing logic, with detailed visibility into how each discount contributes to the final calculated price.
• Support for global and local pricing models – Pricing calculations incorporate both PanEuropean and country-specific cost components and pricing rules to support local business requirements.
