“In my experience, it’s not uncommon for companies to struggle getting started with pricing software,” said Robert Kugel, Senior Vice President and Research Director at Ventana Research. “Starting with a blank whiteboard and getting all stakeholders to agree on the strategy, rules, fundamental approaches and a budget can derail a project before it gets off the ground. With Lightning, Pricefx is attempting to address these challenges by offering pre-configured pricing capabilities out of the box. Using a point-click-deploy approach, Pricefx Lightning is designed to significantly reduce the barriers to adopting a full scope pricing solution.”

Pricefx Lightning offers industry standard, pre-configured foundations for analytics dashboards, pre-defined yet flexible pricing strategies, and instant communication to the field. Removing the friction from implementing a full scope pricing solution, Pricefx offers a point-click-deploy approach designed to empower users who only need to add data to get started. This allows organizations to start the process from the halfway point, skipping weeks or months working through initial configurations.

Once up and running, Pricefx enables users to refine and customize focused on their specific business needs, removing costly proof of concept cycles spent on defining basic requirements. Powered by Pricefx PriceAnalyzer and Sales Insights Accelerator, Lightning provides a powerful pre-configured data analytics environment of out-of-the-box dashboards with more than a dozen optional additional configurations. To gain pricing insights, users simply load their data and start seeing new opportunities for growth and improvement.

“Lightning is a first-of-its-kind, tech-enabled fast lane for pricing excellence, designed to supercharge your implementation without breaking the bank,” said Marcin Cichon, CEO and co-founder at Pricefx. “At the outset of this initiative, our goal was to skip the POC stage and get customers working with a live product. We believe that by delivering out-of-the-gate value Pricefx can provide an informed launch point that enables businesses to focus on enhancements that create a competitive advantage and build organizational alignment with real data and results. With Lightning, we can dramatically accelerate time-to-value and have customers running live in six weeks – no one else on the market can deliver that.”
