Process Story

German Mirror
Pricing Engine

Custom-built dynamic pricing and costing software for complex manufacturing operations, featuring centralized cost matrix, automated margin enforcement, and real-time sales intelligence dashboard.

The Challenge

German Mirror faced significant operational challenges with inefficient, error-prone manual costing for complex products with multiple variables including raw materials, composition, various packaging, and freight costs.

Manual pricing processes involved juggling multiple spreadsheets, leading to time-consuming operations prone to human error and creating delays in providing quotes to clients.

Without a centralized, systematic approach, ensuring consistent profit margins across all product and packaging combinations was nearly impossible, leading to margin erosion and pricing inconsistencies between sales teams.
