• Vendor Profitability

• A key concern for companies seeking to improve profits

• To negotiate effectively for improved terms and conditions with their supplier, a company must understand:
  
  • • The specific costs of doing business with that supplier
    • How profitable that relationship is
    
    
  Acorn's Profit Analyzer is the only solution that provides an undeniably accurate, actionable and widely accessible drill-down view of product profitability at the net operating level.
• Supplier profitability can also be improved by understanding the direct and indirect costs you incur from each transaction for a customer and how those costs impact the profitability of that relationship. Other solutions may ignore indirect costs, rely on rates or base analysis on an average order. As a result, suppliers question the accuracy of the data.
• Whether you want more precise information to use in contract negotiations with a supplier or want to make the existing relationship more profitable, Profit Analyzer gives you the trusted information you need.
