EXPERTISE

Margin analysis and pricing

Understand how much you really earn on every product, job and customer, and use that information to decide prices, discounts and offers.

Price stops being an estimate and becomes a managed lever, able to steer every choice towards profitability.

We rebuild the structure of direct and indirect costs, link it to actual revenue and build models that check the margin before you sell.

WHAT WE DO

Four tools to manage your margin

  • Margin generated
    The margin of every product, job and customer, with all cost and revenue variables, to see where value is created and where it needs correcting.
  • Quoting models
    Costs and margins estimated before the offer, with simulations on prices, quantities and commercial terms.
  • Standard and actual costs
    Standard product and process costs compared with actuals, to keep price lists and bills of materials in line with reality.
  • Variance analysis
    Planned versus actual, with variances broken down by volume, price, mix and efficiency.
HOW WE WORK

From data to price, in four steps

  1. Data collection
    Financial statements, bills of materials, processing times, price lists and revenue by customer.
  2. Cost model
    Clear, verifiable allocation criteria for direct and indirect costs.
  3. Reading the margin
    Margins by product, job and customer, with variances explained.
  4. Quotes and prices
    Quoting models and pricing rules used every day by the sales team.
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

The answers we give management

Every project starts from concrete questions that the model must be able to answer with numbers.

  1. Which customers really generate margin?
  2. Does the price list cover real costs?
  3. What does one more discount cost?
  4. Which product is worth pushing?
  5. Where is margin lost between quote and actuals?
  6. Is it better to make or buy?
