Learn how our Special Pricing Request Solution Helps Track the Effectiveness of your Current Pricing Strategies.
When channel partners submit special pricing requests, the end-to-end approval process for that request is often . Without a system in place, the time between a request and its authorization can be days – which may result in a missed promotional or sales opportunity.
Instead of wading through emails or faxes to retrieve a request, CMR’s special pricing request allows users to locate and assess their requests with ease.
Our automated special pricing request module is a part of our solution for Channel Information Management and PRM. Also, within our online PRM Solution, we have integrated a user-friendly SPR form. The system enables channel partners to request special pricing with the ease and simplicity of filling out an online form and submitting it. The system automatically then manages the ‘Approval’, ‘Reply Notification’, and ‘Credit Claim’ processes. Any requests to change the price of a product as it moves through the channel are then recorded and managed within this system. An airtight security model ensures all of the SPR transaction information is protected but accessible to those with appropriate privileges.
The module organizes all special pricing requests from channel partners in a centralized and user-friendly Web-based location. Partners submit their requests through a simple form. Then, admin users can review and approve, deny, or counter-offer the requests submitted. Therefore, the submissions and approval process can take as few as five minutes using requests for special pricing.
When a partner puts in requests for special pricing, turnaround time is an important factor partner use to gauge upcoming opportunities.
