Multi-Level Pricing: Protecting Profits in a Dynamic Market

In the fast-paced world of retail and distribution, uncontrolled pricing can cost companies millions. Imagine a food manufacturer launching a promotion on a popular product. Prices are lowered, but overlapping discounts lead to lost margins instead of expected profits. Each unit sold brings a loss—an all-too-common issue when complex multi-layered pricing structures lack effective control.

Advanced Pricing from Oracle JD Edwards E1 is a powerful solution that enables companies to confidently manage multi-level pricing structures. For example, a major U.S. retailer using Advanced Pricing set specific rules for different customer types, from wholesalers to end buyers. The system helped separate discounts, establishing unique rules for each category, resulting in a 12% increase in profitability in the first quarter after implementation.

This solution is particularly valuable for distributors managing high-volume promotions. Advanced Pricing not only enforces pricing rules but also audits promotion effectiveness. For instance, a pharmaceutical client uses Advanced Pricing to monitor regional discounts. When one promotion became unprofitable, the system instantly alerted managers, allowing timely adjustments and preventing further losses.

Business Benefits:

• Unique rules for managing layered pricing.
