Think you made $12 on that $50 sale? When freight, rebates, commissions and hidden costs are factored in, you may have actually lost $1.50. In today’s volatile market, with tariff threats and promotional pressures squeezing margins, the journey from cost to profit is extremely complex – and has never been more critical.
Margin optimization is a strategic lever for profitability, affecting both sell-side and buy-side programs. Vistex solutions, in the core of S/4HANA and in the cloud on BTP, enable organizations across industries to gain end-to-end visibility into pricing, trade and incentive programs, automate complex processes and make stronger data-driven decisions to protect margins and drive sustainable growth.
Over 700 SAP customers across multiple industries rely on Vistex solutions to optimize margins and solve mission critical business problems.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why margin matters: Revenue growth doesn't guarantee profitability. Inflation, tariffs and volatile input costs are squeezing margins. Managing net margin, not just top-line revenue, is essential for sustainable growth and operational efficiency. While discounts, rebates, and reimbursements reduce a seller's margin, these costs should be made up for via increased sales volume, market share, and profits. And buyers need to control costs, maximize reimbursements, and evaluate supplier offers so that they can reduce the costs of goods for improved margins.
- How to identify hidden costs: Manual processes, data silos and fractured visibility lead to overpayments, disputes, and compliance risks. Multi-tier partner ecosystems with distributors, GPOs and complex rebate structures multiply these challenges.
- Why integrated solutions address complexity: Managing pricing, incentives, rebates and royalties manually is inefficient and error prone. SAP margin optimization solutions by Vistex streamline processes, reduce risk, provide real-time analytics and “what-if” scenario planning, and deliver the margin visibility needed for better decision-making.
