B2B channel pricing is where mid-market manufacturers and distributors often leak the most margin. Discount creep, customer-specific pricing, unaudited rebates, and freight policy leakage can cost 4–6% of gross margin every cycle. Revology co-designs the channel strategy, governance, and AI agents alongside your sales finance and pricing teams. The agents score every transaction against expected bands, flag exception requests for sales-finance review, and surface patterns the human team would miss. Built inside your ERP and data warehouse. Owned by your team. Capability stood up in 90–120 days.
Channel pricing leakage hides in exceptions, rebates, freight, and long-tail discounting. Revology co-designs the strategy, governance, and AI agents that flag leakage in real time — helping B2B teams recover 4–6% of gross margin.
Channel Pricing & Margin Optimization is a capability that ensures a company’s pricing strategy is properly tailored and executed across different routes-to-market – such as direct sales, distributors, retailers, e-commerce, etc. It involves analyzing the full price waterfall (from list price down to net price after discounts, rebates, promotions, and costs) within each channel to identify where margins are leaking and how to optimize them.
