New Netformx Margin Analysis Tool for Cisco Partners
Cisco partners have been enthusiastic over the powerful way that Netformx Partner Incentive Tool (PIT) impacts their business results. The tool makes it easy for Cisco partners to identify and incorporate incentive and promotion benefits optimizing their discounts as they analyze CCW Estimates. Says one Cisco partner, “PIT is one of the most useful tools I have seen in a long time.”
The latest addition to the Netformx Suite of Applications, Netformx Margin Analysis Tool (MAT) provides an innovative, automated new way for Cisco partners to determine end-customer pricing and margins. Cisco partners can now leverage the power of PIT to feed MAT and analyze margins. MAT V1.0 provides enhanced, accurate margin analysis for CCW Estimates and aligns to PIT actions and selections. PIT promotion and incentive assignment data are cost inputs to the MAT.
The user can toggle between PIT promotion and incentive analysis and MAT from the home screen. So, the user can make incentive decisions and then immediately see the impact on margin.
A simplified margin analysis workflow allows for enhanced “What-if” scenarios based on varying promotion and incentive choices. In MAT, the user sees per-SKU and per-line promotion and incentive impacts as well as descriptions of all cost modifiers. MAT enables bulk/category and per-line price modifications for incorporation of partner workflows such as discount goals, margin floors, mark-up caps, and price targets.
The MAT home page includes a Summary Review section, Bulk Controls, and Line-level details with price, cost, and margin controls.
