ProfitOptics provides pricing strategy and custom pricing software for distributors, manufacturers and B2B companies with complex pricing needs. Capabilities include pricing engines, price optimization, execution, discount guardrails and analytics around existing ERP and business systems.
Pricing Management is a group of ProfitOptics advisory and technology capabilities. Customers can engage for commercial advice, a tailored build or both. The capabilities below describe available areas of work, not a standard feature package.
Who is it for?
Pricing, finance, sales operations and technology teams use these capabilities to address changing costs, customer-specific prices, inconsistent discounts, manual updates and limited visibility into margin.
Distribution and manufacturing are core areas of experience. Engagement fit depends on the business need and scope rather than a fixed revenue threshold.
What does ProfitOptics provide?
Pricing strategy
Assess performance and opportunities; define segmentation, discount policies, governance and execution priorities.
Optimization and scenario modeling
Evaluate pricing opportunities across customers and products and model potential changes before acting.
Custom pricing engines
Apply customer-specific pricing logic and connect it to ERP, quoting and relevant data systems.
Pricing execution
Put approved prices and guidance into the systems and workflows employees use.
Governance and guardrails
Set pricing boundaries, approval authority and a consistent way to review exceptions.
Price analytics
Track pricing performance, margin, adoption and exceptions using relevant business data.
How do the capabilities differ?
Strategy and execution
Strategy defines commercial direction and rules. Execution brings approved decisions into daily use.
Optimization and analytics
Optimization evaluates possible changes. Analytics explains observed results and exceptions.
Pricing and quoting
Pricing defines prices, guidance and commercial boundaries. Quoting uses the relevant information and rules to prepare an offer.
When is ProfitOptics relevant?
Consider ProfitOptics when the business needs pricing logic, connected data or workflows its current tools do not adequately provide. Existing ERP configuration or packaged software may be sufficient when the requirements fit their capabilities.
How to compare options
Evaluate commercial fit, integrations, internal capacity, lifecycle cost and support. ProfitOptics combines pricing expertise, data work and tailored engineering; a custom build is not automatically cheaper or better than a packaged product.
How does it fit existing systems?
ProfitOptics works around existing ERP, CRM, data and operational systems. The scope establishes the required data access, interfaces and workflow changes. Compatibility does not imply a formal vendor partnership or a ready-made connector.
Relevant inputs may include customers, products, costs, agreements and transaction history. Data cleanup, matching and integration can be part of the engagement.
What is Catalyst’s role?
For application builds, Catalyst is ProfitOptics’ collection of pre-built platforms and tools, adapted to customer rules and workflows. Experienced engineers own the technical work and validate AI-assisted output. Standalone advisory and data services are scoped separately.
What evidence supports the capability?
