How Do You Drive Volume and Protect Margins at the Same Time?
With intense competition on a global scale, you've had to make some tough choices. You've modernized your manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and product quality. You've streamlined your supply chain and cut overhead to the bone to reduce costs. You've outsourced non-core functions to increase your company's flexibility and agility.
And in these challenging times, you might think you have yet another tough choice to make. Do you focus on driving volume in order to prevent manufacturing assets from sitting idle? Or do you protect margins to maintain a level of positive profit contribution? On the surface, these two choices may seem mutually exclusive.
But what if you could do both at the same time? What if you could know exactly how far to go to maximize volumes without giving up more margin than you really have to?
For every line item on every order, you know there's a point of diminishing returns—where giving up any more on price fails to generate the incremental volume needed to make it worthwhile. This is where guesswork always leaves a lot of money on the table.
Leading manufacturers are using Zilliant's margin solutions to eliminate the guesswork and bring extreme precision to that crucial trade-off between price and volume at a transaction level. For every line item on every deal, they're leveraging this revolutionary technology to "dial-in" the exact price that maximizes volume and margin at the same time.
Zilliant's price optimization solution is proven for maximizing volumes and margins across a variety of situations in a manufacturing environment:
- Negotiated transactions and fixed price lists
- Spot deals and longer-term customer agreements
- Custom-engineered and build-to-order products
- Accessory products and add-on services
