Profitable and Cost-effective Pricing Strategies for IT Production

In today’s competitive landscape, companies must respond quickly to market shifts, expand into new channels, and constantly seek growth opportunities. A crucial part of staying competitive and profitable is the ability to adjust prices rapidly and efficiently. However, managing large volumes of prices and discounts can be a complex task, particularly with supply chain disruptions, the transition to smart manufacturing, and fluctuating demand.

Flintfox: The Ultimate Solution for IT Production Pricing

Flintfox offers a powerful solution to streamline and automate pricing, settlements, claims, and deductions, optimizing your existing ERP system. By eliminating inefficient manual processes, Flintfox ensures fast and accurate pricing execution. The system can process vast amounts of pricing calculations in real time, across various sales channels, devices, applications, geographies, and products, providing businesses with the agility they need in today’s fast-paced market.

Managing Product Variants and Complex Pricing

Though Flintfox is not a traditional CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) solution, it integrates seamlessly with CPQ systems, making it ideal for businesses with configurable product variants. CPQ solutions originate from RFQ processes in sales and are essential when creating highly differentiated products like machines and systems. This is especially true when complex rules for pricing—such as mix-and-match pricing, quantity discounts, and special customer targeting—are required.

For instance, when selling a laptop, the pricing of components like memory size, processor type, and screen resolution needs to be calculated based on the configuration. Flintfox makes these complex calculations effortless, ensuring pricing accuracy, whether it’s for an individual product or a bundle of services.

Efficient Automation with Flintfox and CPQ

Flintfox enables efficient, rule-based price calculations that can be set up and automatically transferred to a CPQ solution. For businesses offering product bundles or services, Flintfox automates the pricing process, freeing up sales representatives to adjust quotes at the point of sale. Whether you’re offering a bundle of machines or a package of services, Flintfox can handle complex price structures, allowing your sales team to focus on closing deals.

Flintfox also supports intricate mix-and-match pricing rules, enabling businesses to offer promotions on bundled products. For example, if a customer purchases five standard machines, they could receive a discount on a current model, which is automatically calculated by Flintfox. Promo codes and special discounts can also be integrated seamlessly into the pricing system.

Omnichannel Pricing Across All Sales Channels

With omnichannel sales strategies becoming essential, accurate pricing across all channels is a major challenge for manufacturers. Many legacy systems struggle to support e-commerce or update prices across different devices and platforms. Flintfox simplifies this by providing real-time, rule-based pricing calculations across all sales channels, ensuring consistent pricing everywhere.

Businesses often have different pricing structures for distributors, OEM manufacturers, and large retailers, and Flintfox can handle these variations with ease. By automatically applying pricing rules based on contract terms, logistics costs, or promotional offers, Flintfox ensures accurate pricing for each sales channel. Its ability to manage contract-specific prices, including short-term promotions and discounts, further enhances its value for businesses operating across multiple sales platforms.

Real-time Pricing for IT Production

Flintfox allows real-time pricing calculations across various devices and platforms, including POS terminals, mobile devices, e-commerce sites, and CRM systems. The system supports omnichannel pricing strategies, ensuring that customers see consistent prices across all touchpoints.

With Flintfox, sales representatives can view total prices at any time and adjust quotes as needed. The difference between calculated prices and final quotes is saved for future reference, ensuring transparency in pricing. Additionally, automated discount management and margin transparency features provide businesses with complete control over their pricing strategies.
