Here’s how it happened in one case.
The Acuity consultant analyzed the client’s operational flow and saw ways costs could be reduced by helping their customers change their buying behaviors. Opportunities included rewarding customers for yard pick-up, early payment, off-hour/off-day delivery, electronic order entry, and service level flexibility. By implementing the Oracle Advanced Pricing module, the client was able to provide suitable discounts as well as promote the co-op advertising program, providing a means for our client’s customers to advertise more, and thereby sell more.
The results: our client’s customers took advantage of the discounts and enhanced their profitability and competitive position, even as our client’s profit margins increased due to reduced costs of sale. Also, increased sales resulting from an effective co-op advertising program and the result was a win for all concerned.
