What pricing tool does your company use?

Doing some research on pricing systems. I’m curious what your company uses to keep track of pricing for different SKUs/products for different channels (since they have different prices).

In my company we use an ERP system that manages customer orders, production scheduling, purchase parts, shipping schedule, etc along with pricing. It has to be manually entered into the system and you can tie up different prices for the same product to different customers.

It works pretty decent for us.

So right now I manage all pricing for our partners and channels (distribution, OEM, etc.) on Excel. As with many tech companies, there’s different pricing depending on the rtm. I’m looking for a way to scale this and make it more automated and somehow allow our partners to access pricing that’s only relevant to them. Not sure if there’s such a way. Right now I send it out on Excel.

So you are trying to find a system to replace your job?

Joking aside, Excel is still the best way to manage this kind of stuff. Tedious, but that's why people are getting paid to do it and do it right.

Right? I was thinking "oh shit I'm putting myself out of a job." Lol

I do feel that Excel might be the best way too but wanted to do some research before coming to that conclusion.
