B2B channel pricing is where mid-market manufacturers and distributors leak the most margin: discount creep, customer-specific pricing that never gets re-baselined, unaudited rebates, and freight policy leakage. Revology co-designs the channel strategy, the discount governance, and the AI agents with your sales finance and pricing teams, then builds them on your ERP, CRM, and data warehouse. The agents do the work of a pricing analyst on every transaction: scoring it against the expected price band, flagging exception requests for sales-finance review, and surfacing patterns the human team would miss. Your people make the call; the agent makes sure it is a deliberate one. Capability stood up in 90–120 days, owned by your team, no license fee. When B2B channel pricing is in scope, 4–6% gross margin recovery is the typical outcome.
Channel pricing leakage hides in exceptions, rebates, freight, and long-tail discounting. Revology co-designs the strategy, the governance, and the AI agents that flag leakage in real time, then resets the rhythm: a weekly pricing call and a monthly exception review run by your sales finance team. B2B teams typically recover 4–6% of gross margin.
You need pricing that works across every route to market, direct sales, distributors, retailers, and e-commerce. We help you map the full price waterfall for each channel, from list price all the way to pocket margin after every discount, rebate, promotion, freight charge, and cost-to-serve. Then, we put an AI pricing agent on every transaction, so you catch leakage before it hits your bottom line. No more end-of-quarter surprises, just actionable insights and control.
Set clear approval thresholds, price floors by segment, and a deal desk for those exceptions that rules can’t cover. The AI pricing agent checks every quote against your expected price bands and sends exceptions to sales finance, complete with the margin math. This way, your reps can quote quickly within guardrails, and your leaders see every exception as a conscious choice. Best of all, this approach works with your existing CPQ, no need to rip and replace.
Freight, returns, order size, service levels, and payment terms all determine whether a customer is truly profitable, not just at the top line, but at the bottom line. We help you build cost-to-serve into your pocket margin view by customer, channel, and product. That way, your pricing, rebates, and service policies are based on real profitability, not just gross margin.
Design rebates and trade terms that are tied directly to performance, with accruals that actually reconcile to what happens in the real world. Set clear channel roles and price corridors, and use MAP policy when retail is involved. This way, your direct, distributor, and e-commerce channels stop undercutting each other, and your partners stay motivated to win together.
