Small manufacturers automate comparison pricing according to Mike Franz of ManufacturingPower. Read the recent article in AutomationMedia here.
“Every manufacturer must pay attention to costs and competitors’ pricing. For better or worse, purchasing professionals are rewarded for capturing the lowest price; few have the time to scour the internet for ever RFQ to see if the bid offered is indeed competitive. Measuring value with price experiments is not realistic,” shared Franz.
Full-time competitive pricing professionals could work 24/7 to generate statistically valid and accurate data. For the small and mid-sized manufacturer, the solution is to automate price comparison functionality. Until recently this was prohibitively expensive and often too complex. Automating costs and competitive prices can be achieved in a $5000 per year SaaS solution.
Only when manufacturers stop basing critical business decisions on inadequate spreadsheets can the purchasing department succeed. Automated access to summary cost and margin information for each SKU delivers light SaaS “MRO/tail-spend” price transparency, returning a minimum 11-14% COGS (cost of goods sold) reduction to the bottom line.
