Sophisticated Commercial Models

As clients become more sophisticated they are demanding firm fixed prices and outcome based commercial models even for complex one-off projects. Understanding the range of commercial options in our tool, from fixed pricing, subscription, cost-plus, T&M or outcome based, allows you to model different pricing scenarios and resulting cashflows and project margins, rapidly and across multiple proposal versions.

Optimized Pricing

Professional services firms often set company rates at unrealistic high levels and then discount rates for each client or contract in a chaotic fashion. Leverage your history of prior proposals, contracts, rate-cards, MSAs, and projects to understand what labor rates still win you the business at the maximum delivery margin. Once you have all your labor rates maintained in our tool, and fed to SAP for revenue recognition and billing purposes, you can adopt a more dynamic pricing strategy where labor rates can be proposed by the system based on elasticity, cost drivers, competitiveness of your bid across non-commercial factors and other considerations.

Risk-Adjusted Pricing

Delivering any project contains uncertainty, especially given that clients are transferring more and more risk to their suppliers (to you). Awareness of risk adjusted costs, prices and margins (whether risks are contractual, delivery based, due to product or service complexity or 'not done before' etc.) allows us to price with great confidence, based on value provided, at the same time ensuring downside protection and positive delivery margins across a range of risk/confidence scenarios.

Designed on SAP HANA for Organizations Running SAP

Our solution takes full advantage of SAP's robust HANA database. It is natively integrated with your CRM and SAP S/4 system to re-use master data already maintained in SAP, such as resource pools, BOMs, materials, routings, suppliers, customers, etc. At the same time, we leverage and reference your rich transaction history sitting in SAP, such as supplier quotes, contracts, purchase orders and work orders, to anchor estimates in reality.

 

Most long-time SAP customers have non-SAP data sources critical for the bid & proposal process, such as DOORS, Primavera, PLM, MS-Dynamics and Salesforce. Don't worry; we've got you covered. We can even import data from non-SAP ERP systems, and from Excel.

 

We have added flexibility to fit your specific landscape and security requirements regarding deployment. We support several deployment scenarios - such as directly in your S/4 HANA instance, in a self-hosted HANA sidecar, or from the cloud - secure, scalable and compliant.
