BEFORE

Margin leakage existed in day-to-day pricing execution but remained hidden in standard financial reporting and month-end views.

• Legacy pricing tooling was unreliable and needed modernization in line with our RISE with SAP target architecture.
• Finance-grade, real-time pricing analytics at transaction level were not available to commercial teams.
• Limited visibility of net price quality, exceptions and pocket-margin performance by product line and region.
• Heavy reliance on Excel for simulations and governance slowed decisions and increased execution risk.
• Difficulty enforcing pricing policies, delegation limits and deal guidance across global businesses.
