Pre-Migration Assessment: Before your ERP transition, our team conducts a comprehensive review of:

  • Current pricing structures and hierarchies
  • Customer-specific pricing arrangements
  • Discount structures and promotion mechanisms
  • Pricing business rules and approval workflows
  • Data quality and completeness issues

Strategic Recommendations: Based on this assessment, we provide guidance on:

  • Pricing structure simplification opportunities prior to migration
  • Data cleansing priorities to address before transfer
  • Legacy pricing arrangements that should be updated
  • Essential pricing capabilities to prioritize in the new system
  • Process improvements to implement during the transition

Migration Support: During the actual migration process, our team assists with:

  • Mapping pricing data from legacy to new system structures
  • Validating pricing accuracy through comprehensive testing
  • Creating parallel pricing processes during transition periods
  • Training team members on new pricing-related system functions
  • Troubleshooting pricing anomalies that emerge post-migration

Post-Migration Optimization: After your new system is operational, we help you leverage its capabilities by:

  • Implementing enhanced pricing strategies enabled by new functionality
  • Reconfiguring pricing approval workflows for improved efficiency
  • Developing new pricing analytics leveraging additional data
  • Fine-tuning system settings to optimize pricing performance
  • Building comprehensive documentation of the new pricing environment

ERP migrations often result in pricing disruptions that can impact margins and customer relationships. Consider implementing a pricing freeze period immediately before and after the cutover, along with enhanced monitoring during the transition.
