Margin & Pricing Intelligence
True margin and recommended pricing across 1,153 SKUs, computed locally from real supplier invoices - turning pricing from a spreadsheet habit into decision infrastructure.
Problem
Pricing decisions without true costs
Real margin lives in supplier invoices - PDFs with net purchase cost, VAT and shipping - not in the selling price alone. Across more than a thousand SKUs, keeping that picture current by hand is not realistic, so pricing decisions drift away from actual economics.
This system is part of the Commercial Intelligence flagship: proprietary decision infrastructure around revenue, margin and pricing instead of disconnected spreadsheets and third-party SaaS.
Architecture
Invoices in, pricing scenarios out
The system processes PDF supplier invoices, net purchase cost, VAT, shipping and selling price, with advertising data available through a separate sub-dashboard. Mathematical optimization is operational.
- Input
- Agent
- Orchestrator
- Governance gate
- Output
- Human judgment
Outputs per SKU: current margin, recommended price, current vs recommended price, pricing scenarios, margin scenarios, profitability prognosis and advertising-spend context.
Outcome
What it changed
The system has informed real pricing decisions and contributed to improved margins. No percentage is attached to that claim - the honest statement is that pricing decisions are now made against computed economics rather than approximations.
It runs as a locally deployed internal application: no external SaaS dependency, no data leaving the building, and complexity limited to what the problem actually requires.
