Overcome your challenges with Aprix

With a low frequency of cost updates, pricing decisions are slower and there is the possibility of missing price change timing simply because you do not have an updated cost in time. Additionally, the lack of traceability of spreadsheets is a problem for data and information auditing. See how the features of the Aprix system transform these challenges into opportunities for your company:

Challenge

Time-consuming process

The consolidation of different costs goes through several areas of the company and involves the manipulation of spreadsheets without standardization. This makes the process slow and operational, consuming time and resources that could be invested in other more strategic activities.

In addition, the delay in updating cost variations can directly reflect on the company’s margin, which will start pricing with outdated costs, increasing the reaction time to the market.

Aprix Solution

Automation of manual tasks

Data collection automation can be done through integrations and advanced data science techniques. Thus, information can be automatically inserted into the consolidation platform, without the need for human intervention, making the process more robust, fast, efficient and reliable, allowing the company to make decisions based on updated costs in line with the speed of the market.

Challenge

Inaccurate calculations

Manipulations in polluted spreadsheets can result in errors during calculations, leading to erroneous values at the end of the consolidation process. This inaccuracy compromises the reliability of the information used to make pricing decisions and, ultimately, results in incorrect prices.

Aprix Solution

Automatic checks

When handling data in any environment on the platform, the Aprix system cross-checks information and files. This functionality guarantees coherence between different files, from the beginning to the end of the process, eliminating errors resulting from excessive manual work.

Challenge

Slow cost update

A time-consuming process, without a good frequency of updating costs, can lead to less efficient pricing decisions. Without costs updated in a timely manner, the appropriate timing to make changes to prices may be lost, harming the company’s competitiveness and profitability.

Aprix Solution

Automated and intelligent consolidation

Aprix automates cost consolidation based on input data, which comes from files, integration with ERP or automatic collection through AI. Algorithms will play the role of consolidating different costing information in an automatic, standardized and efficient way, ensuring robustness and agility in this process. This way, price updates are faster, generating more value for the company.

Challenge

Lack of traceability

The lack of traceability of the spreadsheets used to consolidate costs represents a problem for the audit of data and information. The lack of a clear and traceable record of changes and manipulations carried out in spreadsheets makes data validation and verification difficult, and may compromise the reliability of the information used in the pricing process.

Aprix Solution
