Is your company facing challenges when trying to consolidate pricing information from different countries? Are you challenged by grey markets? Do international key accounts put pressure on you due to different prices in different countries? Do you have sales people who often give more discounts than they should, to be sure to close the deal? Is it difficult to maintain consistency between the prices of individual product items within a brand or product line? What if you could have full visibility of local and international prices at all levels of the price waterfall? What if you could improve operating profits by 1-3% by reducing profit leakages? Or if you could have pricing visibility of International key accounts and grey market risk, without the need for a large IT project with an overloaded IT department? If you can recognise some of these challenges, then Stratinis Pricing Suite - Business Edition could be for you.

Stratinis Pricing Suite - Business Edition is a software solution for creating transparency among prices and rebates, inside a country or business unit as well as internationally. It works both for companies with dominant business as well as companies operating in many different countries.

Stratinis Pricing Suite - Business Edition allows managers to analyse prices and rebates across customer segments, channels, countries, product groups, international key accounts and much more. The system will allow you to set rules about pricing and discount levels and be alerted when actual pricing moves outsides those boundaries.

Stratinis Pricing Suite is well-suited for many different industries, from fast moving consumer goods over durable goods, industrial manufacturing, and chemicals, to technology and life sciences. The solution is offered as a “Software as a Service” concept, so there is no need for expensive IT infrastructure, nor any drag on scarce internal IT resources. Being a service, there is also an argument for classifying the cost as operational expenditure rather than capital expenditure.

Stratinis Pricing Suite - Business Edition is based on the world-class Stratinis Pricing Suite Enterprise Edi-tion and benefits from many of its pricing capabilities. With the key analytical functionalities from the Enterprise Edition, Stratinis Pricing Suite - Business Edition offers quick wins through pricing insights, short implementation time and reduced upfront costs. It is also easy to upgrade to the Enterprise Edition at any point in time and either keep hosting with Stratinis or move hosting in-house at the same time.

In terms of connectivity to the hosting centre all traffic is encrypted.
