Commercial Management

Manage pricing, product listings, and deal confirmations with your trading partners directly from your desktop, eliminating manual capture errors and creating a shared source of truth for commercial terms.

Listing and Deal Confirmations​

The Excel Add-in provides a familiar, powerful interface for managing commercial relationships, product catalogs, and negotiated pricing directly from Excel—without requiring IT involvement or complex integrations.

Eliminate Manual Pricing Capture​

One of the costliest sources of disputes and payment delays is manual pricing errors:

  • Direct Pricing Management – Enter and maintain product pricing, promotional terms, and volume discounts directly in Excel
  • Eliminate Transcription Errors – No more copying prices from emails or PDFs into your ERP; maintain pricing in one authoritative location
  • Automatic GS1 Compliance – Pricing is automatically formatted to GS1-compliant purchaseConditions standards as it's posted to the network
  • Version Control – Track pricing changes over time with complete audit trails showing who changed what and when
  • Effective Dating – Set pricing effective dates and automatically manage pricing transitions without double-billing or missed renewals

Real-Time Common View​

Break down information silos between your organization and trading partners:

  • Shared Commercial Terms – Your buyers see exactly the same pricing and terms you've defined, eliminating disputes over "what was agreed"
  • Synchronized Updates – When pricing changes, all connected partners see the updated terms in real-time
  • Consistency Across Channels – Maintain consistent pricing whether transacting with customers directly, through distributors, or via trading networks
  • Partner Visibility – See which pricing agreements are active with which partners and when renewals are approaching
  • Exception Highlighting – Immediately identify transactions that don't conform to agreed pricing, flagging potential issues before they impact revenue

Flexible Deal Confirmation Workflows​

Manage the full lifecycle of commercial agreements:

  • Deal Creation – Easily create new product listings and deals with custom terms, pricing, and validity periods
  • Approval Workflows – Route deals through internal approval processes before exposing them to trading partners
  • Partner Acceptance – Send deal confirmations to partners for explicit acceptance, creating mutual acknowledgment
  • Ongoing Management – Monitor active deals, track renewal dates, and manage promotional periods
  • Quick Reference – Access all active commercial agreements in a unified view for training, audits, and troubleshooting

Integration with Your Business Systems​

GS1-Standard Data Exchange

  • Commercial terms are mapped to GS1-standard purchaseConditions format, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard B2B processes
  • Data can be exported to any format acceptable for import into your ERP system
  • Automated mapping eliminates manual reformatting and reduces errors

Direct REST API Connection

  • Connect your ERP directly to the Excel Add-in via REST APIs for automated synchronization
  • Pricing changes in your ERP can automatically propagate to the network
  • Your trading partners' orders automatically reflect current pricing and terms
  • No manual file transfers or batch processes required

Business Impact​

  • Reduced Disputes – Shared, verified pricing eliminates "my pricing vs. their pricing" conflicts
  • Faster Deal Setup – Create and activate new commercial agreements in minutes, not weeks
  • Revenue Protection – Catch pricing inconsistencies before they impact invoicing and revenue
  • Administrative Efficiency – Centralized pricing management reduces the overhead of maintaining pricing in multiple systems
  • Compliance Confidence – Audit trails and version control satisfy compliance and regulatory requirements
