Vendor price files in.
Updated prices out.
Cost updates land, map to your items and recompute landed cost the same day, then a margin-preserving reprice stages, honors every contract, and publishes on its effective date.
Every week between the vendor’s effective date and yours is donated margin.
Vendor files land and map themselves
Price files in any format map to your items, recompute landed cost per SKU, and queue what needs repricing, with the unmatched handful routed for review instead of silently dropped.
- Any vendor format, mapped, not re-keyed
- Landed cost recomputed per SKU, same day
- Unmatched items routed with suggested mappings
Margin-preserving, contract-honoring, previewed
Choose the rule (hold GM%, hold markup, absorb for strategic accounts) and preview the full impact. Contract-protected items hold to term automatically; floors clamp; every exception is named.
- Margin-preserving rules instead of blanket percentages
- Contract-protected items held out, with their records
- The full preview before anything stages
Days-to-pass-through, measured every cycle
The timeline from vendor effective date to yours is the metric that matters, and once it’s visible, it shrinks. Every cycle’s absorbed-cost window is measured against the last.
- Vendor date → approval → your effective date, on one strip
- Absorbed-cost days quantified per cycle
- The lag becomes a KPI someone owns
Vendor file to published price, one governed path
The questions purchasing and pricing ask first
Our vendor files are a mess, different formats, part numbers, units. Really?
That mess is exactly what the mapping layer is for: files map to your item master with suggested matches for the stragglers, and each mapping is remembered for the next cycle. The second file from a vendor is nearly touchless.
How is this different from the Cost, Tariff & Freight Recovery solution?
Same spine, different altitude. This is the operating motion, routine vendor updates flowing through to prices continuously. Cost recovery is the strategic response when a tariff or freight shock hits the whole book at once. Most customers run both.
Can we pass through selectively, protect some accounts, reprice others?
Yes, that is what repricing by rule means. Strategic accounts can absorb by policy while the rest of the book preserves margin, and the cost of each choice is quantified before you make it.
Stop donating the lag.
Bring last quarter’s ugliest vendor file. We’ll show you the mapping, the reprice and the days you would have saved.
