This is our flagship discipline. We partner with you to co-design your pricing strategy and governance, then build AI-enabled price analytics, optimization engines, and pricing agents, all inside your own environment. We train your team to run everything, so you own the process end to end. In our experience, companies see 200–400 bps of gross profit improvement in year one, usually translating to a 10–12% increase in operating profit dollars. When B2B channel pricing is included, you can expect 4–6% gross margin recovery.
Pricing is art and science. The art is reading the customer, channel, and competitive set; the science is the elasticity model, the price waterfall, the promo ROI engine, and the analytics that put a defensible number in your team’s hands before the next quote goes out. Revology co-designs both layers alongside your commercial team: pricing strategy and governance from former functional executives who have led pricing, plus the AI and modeling capability from partners with PhDs in artificial intelligence.
We build everything inside your environment, no black boxes. You get a pricing command center where finance, sales, and pricing teams all work from a single source of truth. You can stress-test prices or promotions before they hit the market, and let agents handle the heavy lifting between decisions. For mid-market companies ($100M–$2B), this becomes a pricing operating system your CFO and sales VP both trust. Your team owns the IP and the math. Most clients see 200–400 bps of gross profit improvement in year one, and 4–6% gross margin recovery when B2B channel pricing is in play.
Most mid-market companies leak margin in ways no monthly report surfaces: list prices that have not kept pace with cost, discounting that varies 10 points between reps for identical customers, promotions where nearly half the spend returns less than it costs, and channel terms negotiated years ago that nobody owns today. The data to find these leaks exists in your ERP and CRM right now. What is missing is the operating capability to find them systematically and close them for good: the strategy, the analytics, and the decision cadence. That capability is what we build.
We design the path (Strategy & Governance). Pricing strategy and monetization, value-based and dynamic pricing architectures, price-pack architecture, promotion and trade guardrails, and channel pricing policy, plus the governance cadence: decision rights, escalation rules, and the weekly operating rhythm that keeps pricing discipline alive.
We build the engines (Analytics & AI Capabilities). Causal price elasticity models, price waterfall and profit-leakage analytics, promotion effectiveness and optimization, markdown and clearance optimization, competitive pricing intelligence, and pricing and RGM agents that do the work of a promotion analyst or a pricing analyst, with your people signing off. All of it built by our partners inside your existing environment, co-designed with your commercial, finance, and IT teams so it fits your operation and your data, with no technical bloat and no license. AI is a strategic enabler here, not the product: when a simpler method reaches the goal faster, we use the simpler method.
We drive the adoption and execution. We do not hand over a deck or an engine and leave. Working sessions with sales and finance, pricing organization design, a reset operating rhythm, and hands-on training through our corporate training programs, so the elasticity models and Pricing & RGM agents get used in monthly Pricing & Promotion reviews instead of admired in a quarterly review.
Your organization prices differently than anyone else. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all frameworks or platforms that force you to adapt. Instead, we build solutions that fit your operating reality, your data, your processes, your people.
The outcome? Margin analytics, optimization, and pricing agents your team actually uses, delivered in three to four months, built in your environment, and fully operable without outside help. If you want ongoing support, we offer managed services at an affordable monthly fee, but you stay in control.
But don’t just take our word for it. See how other industry leaders have used solutions to grow their bottom lines.

This session is about getting yours started.

It’s built for companies that already have pricing or AI teams as well as companies that don’t.
Revenue Growth Management is the discipline of managing price, promotion, product mix, and channel terms as one integrated system to grow gross profit rather than revenue alone. In practice, it means knowing your true price elasticities, the real ROI of every promotion, and where the price waterfall leaks, and having the governance to act on all three every week.
You can stand up this capability in 90–120 days. In our experience, most mid-market organizations see 200–400 bps of gross profit improvement in year one. That translates to a 10–12% lift in operating profit dollars, and a 4–6% gross margin recovery when B2B channel pricing is included. These results come from your team running the system, not from a black box. That's why we build training and operating rhythm into the engagement from day one, instead of tacking it on as an afterthought.
No. Messy commercial data is the normal starting condition. The Capabilities Assessment maps data readiness in the first two to three weeks; if the foundation needs work, our Commercial Analytics Transformation discipline builds it as part of the same program.
Most pricing software gives you a car but no driver. You get a license, an implementation, and a renewal bill. We take a different approach. We build the engines and the agents directly in your environment, and we don't stop there. We also co-create the strategy, governance, and trained team that actually moves prices and drives results. There's no license fee. You own the models, the agents, and the IP, full stop.
Pricing & RGM is one of three disciplines in Revology’s end-to-end practice. See how it connects to your data foundation (Commercial Analytics Transformation) and your demand engine (Sales & Marketing AI Enablement).
