Protect and expand margins
Margin leaks through small decisions long before it shows up in the numbers. Pricefx finds where value is being lost and shows which opportunities matter most. Then it helps teams improve the next price, quote, or agreement before more margin slips away.
Where margin quietly gets away
Margin rarely disappears in one big decision. It leaks through thousands of small ones that nobody catches in time.
Margin risk stays hidden
Pricing responds too late
Margin targets stay on paper
From hidden leakage to stronger margins
Find the margin at stake
Margin leakage hides across thousands of transactions, and no team can inspect every price, agreement, or deal. Pricefx Agents surface missed cost pass-through, discount creep, inconsistent pricing, and outdated terms, then prioritize the issues with the greatest margin at risk. Teams know where to act first instead of treating every exception as equally urgent.
Expand margin where there is room
Stopping leakage protects margin; better pricing can grow it. Pricefx AI Optimization identifies where pricing can improve across customers, segments, and markets, then recommends guidance aligned to the business’s defined commercial strategy. Teams can assess the margin opportunity and understand the rationale before acting, rather than relying on blanket price increases.
Put the correction into the next decision
Margin only improves when the correction reaches the next commercial decision. Pricefx puts the action into the right motion: Price Setting for broad changes, Quoting for the next deal, and Agreements for customer contracts and terms that need updating. The correction reaches the business instead of remaining trapped in a report.
Keep gains from slipping back
A correction only matters if it holds after the change goes live. Pricefx Agents monitor transactions for renewed discount creep, missed cost pass-through, and new leakage, then flag where teams need to intervene. Teams can protect those gains before the same problem shows up as another quarter-end miss.

Frequently asked questions
-
How do we measure margin leakage?
Margin leakage is the gap between the margin your pricing strategy intends and what transactions actually deliver. Pricefx scans transaction history for patterns such as unrecovered cost increases, discount creep, and inconsistent pricing, then shows the margin at stake. This turns hidden leakage into clear priorities for action.
-
Where should we start to improve margins?
Start where margin leakage has the greatest business impact, and you can move fast. Pricefx Agents can analyze your historical data to show the margin at stake before a broader rollout, helping you find quick wins to fund a larger project. Many customers also begin with one business unit, region, or pricing process and expand as value is proven. You do not need a full pricing overhaul to get value.
-
How quickly can we see margin results?
Timing depends on where the leakage sits and how much of the business the correction touches. Many teams start by analyzing existing transaction data with Pricefx Agents, which surface the biggest margin opportunities and recommend which actions to prioritize. As reference points, a US automotive distributor lifted gross margin 13.1% versus its legacy pricing within three months, and Profi Parts saw margin improve within three months of go-live.
-
Will Pricefx work with our existing systems?
Yes. Pricefx works with the systems you already use, including SAP and Salesforce. You manage approved prices, guardrails, and terms in Pricefx. They then flow into the quotes, orders, agreements, and commercial workflows where decisions get made. That matters because a margin fix only creates value when it reaches the next transaction.
-
How do we keep control when using AI for pricing?
Control is built into the process and Pricefx platform. Your strategy, guardrails, and approval rules define what Pricefx AI Optimization recommends and which changes can move forward. A deterministic decision layer applies those rules consistently and shows the reasoning behind each recommendation. Every change retains a record of who approved it and why, so nothing moves outside the boundaries your business has set.
-
Does protecting margin mean raising prices?
Not necessarily. Protecting margin often starts by stopping unintended giveaways, such as missed cost pass-through, discount creep, rebate program leakage, or customer contract terms that no longer reflect cost-to-serve. Pricefx helps teams correct those leaks before broader price increases become necessary.
-
How is this different from the margin reports we already run?
Reports show what happened. Pricefx connects each finding to the corrective price, guardrail, agreement, or approval decision that needs to change while there is still time to act. That closes the gap between identifying a leak and stopping it, which is where a static margin report falls short.
