Rapid Delivery of a Custom Pricing Management Tool

Manufacturing | Replaced a low‑adoption legacy app with a secure, modular Pricing Management Tool (PMT). MVP built in 6 weeks after a 2‑week discovery sprint, followed by a 2‑week enhancement cycle.

Business Problem

A leading manufacturer needed to replace a pricing application that only ~20% of pricing, sales, and support users adopted. Requirements weren’t documented, there was no access to the old app, and timelines were tight with limited stakeholder availability. We had to discover, design, and build in parallel to hit the window.

What We Delivered

A production‑ready, cloud‑native PMT comprising:

  • Customer Integrated Console
  • Price Adjustment Console with automated workflows (later enhanced with a unit converter for 30+ formulas)
  • Item Management Console
  • Price Grid Generator
  • Price Concession Module (rule engine)
  • User Management Module
  • Bulk upload utilities (customers, items, pricing grids)
  • Post‑MVP enhancements to UI, notifications, and performance
    All built and deployed to meet enterprise performance and security expectations.
