Syncron Global Price Management puts service parts pricing on autopilot

Dec. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. 12 December 2011 – Syncron International AB – The latest advancement of the Syncron Global Price Management solution enables organizations to further streamline service parts pricing by running price changes as if on autopilot to ensure continuous price optimization. The solution also features price dampening functionality that facilitates performing structural price changes in steps over a set of price revisions. This functionality enables users to successfully apply major price changes to the market and sales channels.

For pricing organizations, automating the parts pricing process provides significant improvements with reduced manual processing, increased frequency of price changes to ensure continued price optimization, and the ability to react faster to market changes. Price dampening enables large price changes to be applied incrementally rather than as a one-off change that can violate contractual agreements and impact customer and distributor relationships.

Syncron Global Price Management is designed for manufacturing and distribution organizations to deliver effective strategies and structured processes for the service parts business. It supports each step of the parts pricing process with a defined framework for price setting, execution, communication and analysis providing advanced KPI and reporting functionality, multiple pricelist management and multiple currency capabilities. The solution enables companies to adopt a smarter, more sophisticated parts pricing approach to support global sales and distribution channels.

In October Syncron announced that Konecranes Plc, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cranes and lifting equipment, had selected Syncron Global Price Management to strengthen its global aftermarket business with an improved service parts pricing strategy.

“Moving away from simplistic pricing methods, companies can quickly realize significant increases in service parts revenue, profitability and process efficiency” said Anders Zederfeldt, GPM Product Director at Syncron. ”By eliminating unnecessary manual work and having a defined pricing process, organizations can set optimal parts prices on each market and sales channel”.
