Product Bundling- 60 Seconds on Pricing from Upstream Commerce

European Pricing Platform Hosted its 1st Pricing and Profit Optimization forum for the Chemical Industry.

The European Pricing Platform (EPP) together with PROS as the premium sponsor held their 1^st Pricing and Profit Optimization Forum on chemicals for chemical market leading Pricing Practitioners. This forum, which was held at Stockholm, brought pricing practitioners, industrial leaders and innovators together to discuss the latest developments in the pricing and profit optimization area.

During this forum, top-organizations as Bayer Cropscience, BASF, Preem AB, OMV, Dupont, Dow Corning, etcetera shared exceptionally their pricing know-how and best practices. In addition to learn from each other, there were plenty of networking opportunities, breakout sessions and discussions.

This two day event was a great opportunity for the development of Pricing and Profit Optimization know-how and will be organized again next year due to the great success.

“Thank you very much for inviting me to this forum! I got some interesting ideas about pricing and the confirmation that we are going in the correct direction.” said Weiran Lu, ECO Pricing Manager for BASF.

Survey - Twelve Pricing and Profitability Challenges for Life Science Companies – in collaboration with Deloitte

On the Pricing & Profit Optimization Forum on Life Sciences (May 2012) the participants have filled out a survey and now you can see the results on our Participant Only zone of the EPP portal site: http://www.pricingplatform.eu/know-how-center/virtual-library/white-papers.html

In the race to become market leaders, companies have been increasingly prioritizing market share over margin. Without a willingness to truly meet customers’ expectations and without an understanding of their loyalty drivers, a value-based pricing principle cannot be realised.

Our pricing survey highlights 12 challenges on pricing and profitability which life science companies need to address in order to remain competitive.
