“It’s not only gratifying but also validating that Gartner has granted us a strong rating and recognition as an industry leader, as this mirrors consistent feedback from our Fortune 500 customers,” said Neil Lustig, Vendavo CEO. “We’ve made serious strides this year in delivering innovation that allows our customers to harness their enterprise data to drive higher profit. We will continue this upward momentum by pushing higher value for B2B companies with the best profit optimization solution in the industry.”
The MarketScope report finds “…price optimization has shown steady growth during the past two to three years and has found its way onto the CXO's agenda, aligning closely with executive priorities of revenue generation, customer acquisition and profit/margin improvement.” This confirms what Vendavo has strongly maintained since the company’s inception: profit optimization solutions are a source of significant competitive advantage.
Other key findings from the report include the following:
• Price optimization and management solutions provide significant value in their ability to positively influence margins, revenue and profitability. “A successful PO&M implementation can increase margins by 50 basis points or more, and increase revenue by 2% to 4%.”
• Big data, data visualization tools and configure/price/quote (CPQ) suites were identified by the surveyed Gartner customers as a major priority for the next three to five years.
• It is no longer feasible to manage price optimization in spreadsheets and database tools with the increased innovation in analytic, data and application tools used in PO&M.
This Gartner report punctuates the most successful commercial year to date for Vendavo. Throughout 2013, the company consistently secured contracts in two out of every three competitive engagements. Additionally, the company managed $207 billion in customer revenue and increased annual profits by $2.3 billion.
