-
Price compliance application enables SAP Consumer Products, Distribution, Manufacturing, and Hi-Tech Customers to effectively monitor, enforce, and manage orders for price compliance to maximize profitability.
Houston, TX, February 15, 2007 - Acorn Systems extends its solutions in pricing and performance management, announcing today the successful certification and market launch of Price Check, an SAP xApp composite application delivering price compliance on orders.
Price Check benefits SAP clients who have multiple pricing tiers and customer segments by enabling them to perform real time price compliance analysis on pending orders. Price Check automatically processes price compliant orders through the mySAP™ ERP system, and, on an exception basis, routes any non-compliant orders to sales management and finance for review and corrective action or authorization. Price Check works out-of-the-box with mySAP ERP and leverages SAP NetWeaver©'s role-based workflow. The composite application leverages Acorn's deep experience and success in delivering cost-to-serve pricing and order, product and customer profitability analytics to global, marquee clients.
"The ability of SAP customers to ensure that sales orders comply with established pricing guidelines and segmentation tiers is a powerful way for companies to maximize revenue and profits," said Chris D. Fraga, Acorn's Chief Strategy Officer. "Combining order-based pricing analytics with the SAP workflow process enables SAP customers to have a sustained and efficient way to ensure that every order is in compliance with their pricing strategies. Acorn's competency as a best-of-breed provider of accurate insight into costing, profitability, cost-to-serve, and pricing married with SAP's workflow and applications delivers on the promise of analytics at the point of decision making".
"Acorn's Price Check composite application leverages the power of SAP's new Enterprise SOA architecture to streamline sales order processing", said Scott Campbell, SVP of Momentum SI, a top tier SAP services partner. "Customers can gain control over all pricing exceptions and deviations to ensure the process is both fast and well governed. It's one of the many ways the Acorn solutions can enhance SAP processes."
