As the company’s global operations and business portfolio continued to expand, managing complex, multi-market pricing structures became increasingly strategic. With diverse divisions operating independently and pricing decisions involving multiple variables such as commodity trends and regional market shifts, maintaining consistency and visibility across global operations required a more integrated approach. To strengthen pricing governance and enhance decision-making, the organization partnered with Incture’s Cherrywork Suite of Digital Solutions, leveraging its Intelligent Price Management (IPM) to unify, automate, and modernize its pricing processes.

Managing pricing operations across an extensive global manufacturing network called for precise coordination among regions and business units. Each division operated with its own systems, templates, and data sources for pricing and commodity management, leading to diverse practices that required careful synchronization. Teams devoted substantial time and attention to aligning data across regions, validating inputs, and ensuring consistency in price calculations. This variety in approaches highlighted an opportunity to establish a more standardized framework that could streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and enable accurate, timely insights across markets.

Visibility into price trends and market performance varied among regional teams, underscoring the need for a single, real-time view of global pricing data. As information was distributed across multiple platforms, reporting and analysis often required cross-functional coordination. Leadership identified the value of a unified digital platform that could integrate pricing workflows, strengthen governance, and enable seamless information sharing between global and regional teams. By centralizing pricing intelligence and enhancing transparency, the organization aimed to improve responsiveness, optimize decisions, and support long-term business resilience.
