Counteracting volatility

To counteract volatility and keep your margins whole, you need Smart KPI Alerts and
controls when negotiating a contract price. Vistex solutions can centralize cost components,
automate the review process and controls, and prevent contracts from going below a defined
margin threshold or dead net. We recommend that you plan, manage and analyze to
avoid revenue leakage and maintain margins.

And Vistex allows you to evaluate a customer’s purchase order against the pricing contract parameters to confirm that the allowance on the purchase order is accurate in real-time.
