Your ERP shows you a margin percentage but hidden between cost and selling price are handling fees, vendor rebates, commissions, and customer discounts that can silently erase 8.7% of margin without anyone knowing.

RPM exposes every dollar of every calculation (cost, markups, adjustments, commissions stacked transparently on each line item) automatically applying the right rules based on item and customer attributes with no manual decisions required.

RPM stores the logic that generates prices dynamically, so when costs shift, customer agreements update, or promotions kick in, every affected price updates automatically. Built like Legos, RPM’s scheduling and calculation engine stacks handling costs, cost-plus markups, loyalty-tier discounts, date-driven promotions, and vendor rebates into a fully traceable price — all testable before it ever hits your ERP. One pricing manager went from three days a month maintaining spreadsheets to zero because when the rules are right, the prices are right.

Most pricing follows one rule that covers 90 to 95% of your catalog, but it’s the exceptions like contracted rates, loyalty discounts, and negotiated prices that force teams to rebuild entire pricing structures. RPM solves this with a dynamic pricing tree that checks customer exceptions first and falls back to your standard list price when none apply, so you define only what’s different instead of managing thousands of individual prices. Manage three exceptions, not 3,000 prices, and as your business grows those exceptions evolve with a simple list update while everything downstream adjusts automatically.

Building on your standard pricing schedule, RPM lets you add calculations like a 40% margin and attach a filter so the rule only fires for the customers who qualify, such as those in a specific retail customer class. Sell the same item to two customers and RPM handles both automatically: the retail customer gets the base price with the 40% margin stacked on top and a fully traceable calculation showing the gross margin, while the customer outside that class gets the base price with no margin applied and no error, just the filter doing exactly what you defined. It doesn’t matter whether the base price came from your exception list or standard pricing, because RPM reads the customer attributes you set once, makes the call on every order and every line, and enforces who qualifies without anyone on your team having to decide which calculation to apply.

RPM lets you stack cost calculations onto your pricing schedule, from a simple flat gross margin that runs on every item to a tariff that only fires within a date window and only for a specific item class like computers. Sell the same item to the same customer and the price changes based on the date alone: before the window the tariff stays off, inside the window the tariff computation is applied and the price climbs, and once the window closes the price drops back down automatically. Costs like these change on their own schedule, not yours, so you define the rule and the dates once while RPM prices the tariff in when it applies and drops it when it doesn’t, with no one having to remember to turn it off.

Most margin erosion doesn’t come from bad pricing rules, it comes from overrides, a discount here and a favor there, each one reasonable on its own, so RPM lets your team override prices when they need to but won’t let them drop below the floor you’ve set. As RPM calculates a price it tags the cost and the selling price along the way, then compares the resulting margin against a threshold you define, and if the override pushes the margin below that floor a low margin alert fires that can stop the rep from saving or posting the record until the price comes back up. Your reps keep the flexibility to win deals while your floor holds every order and every line automatically, and because the threshold lives in one place, changing your floor is a single edit rather than a retraining exercise.

RPM calculates every cost, discount, and commission at the line level on every order, and this stored detail syncs from your ERP so you can put all of it to work. In analysis settings you slice the full transaction data by whatever attributes matter to your business, from customer class and item category to month, quarter, or year, and drill from a high-level pivot all the way down to the margins of individual customers within a class. Because RPM already computed the handling, tariffs, and commissions on every line, you can define a user calculation for your true margin with every real cost factor rolled in, save any view worth keeping as an analysis view, and set it up once so the CFO and the pricing manager each return anytime to current numbers on the same raw data.
