Thank You to Pricefx Customers for a Successful First Quarter

May 5th, 2019 (Updated 06/20/2023) | 7 min. read

Pricefx ended Q1 by gaining 10 more customers globally.

Our customers’ support and trust in our vision for a fast, flexible and customer-centric solution is a reason why we continue to grow. We’ve released a timeline of some of our customers’ quotes and opinions of us throughout the year

If you have been following us for a while, you will have seen that we closed our series B round of investments at the end of last year and had our most successful year to date. Thankfully, our upward momentum has continued by closing Q1 successfully with a growth that cannot be seen in other pricing companies. In numbers this means:

  • 10 new clients
  • 30 new employees globally
  • Plans to add 25 new employees in the US
  • Plans to expand our Chicago offices located at 150 North Riverside Plaza, a best urban habitat winner

Although these numbers are exciting, and they really are, we believe its people that enable our growth to be possible.

Our Customers Allow Us to Be Successful

When the initial idea of a pricing solution was rudimentarily sketched out in Martin’s (CPO and co-founder) kitchen on a napkin, one of the cornerstones of this new solution was fairness to the customer. As a result, we believe that our forever customer-centric approach has led to the great relationships we’ve fostered with clients.

What follows is a brief walk down memory lane. With their permission, here are some of the reasons that our customers continue to put their trust in us:

2012 Customers and Quotes

As with any start-up, finding your first customers can seem like an uphill battle. For a start-up that was providing pricing solutions, a key process for any business, we appreciate Ineos Solution and Karcher’s placing their trust in us.

“In the process of implementing a tool like this, you will always encounter difficulties. You will find something you didn’t think of in the beginning and then you need customized solutions. Pricefx was very fast in helping us overcome these little difficulties and bring us customized solutions to problems we encountered during the implementation.”-  Ineos Solution

“Pricefx knows very well what we need, how we approach our customers and our subsidiaries. This is very important for us that they know what we want and we have to sometimes be very, very quick.” – Karcher

2013 Customers and Quotes

2013’s theme was fun. Thankfully, this attitude, in conjunction with a willingness to go the extra mile, translated to more customer business and a growing reputation within the pricing community.

“Those guys come and bring fun, bring light, bring inspiration.” – Media Markt.

“I still remember the time we had the pitch with Pricefx and the others. It was very refreshing to see these people full of energy. They had fun explaining their ideas.”  – Saturn Online

2014 Customers and Quotes

“There is nothing out of reach that they couldn’t do, even though you could see pains on their faces. What we were asking for was kind of difficult.  They always found a way to get it done. There was never an ‘I can’t do that’ or ‘we can’t do that’. It was always trying to find a way to get it done. It was very refreshing to work with them to find a way to get through a very antiquated system that we worked with to bring us through the 21st century of pricing models.” – Dana Corporation

2015 Customers and Quotes

“Pricefx is not an option anymore but a necessity given its flexibility. We implemented in 40 different countries in an 8-month time frame..  The easy-to-use interface and speed of quoting allowed John Crane to gain 100% adoption with all 700 reps across the globe.” ​- John Crane

2016 Customers and Quotes

As 2016 rolled along, we appreciated that our customers’ challenges encouraged our growth and empowered our passion to work for the good of their businesses.

“Pricefx has been partnering with Solenis for close to a year. Change management, particularly with the customer pricing process, is always a challenge for companies. The Pricefx leadership, development and engineering teams have always been available to provide Solenis with the best customer solution in a timely manner.” – Solenis.

“We are facing more and more challenges for our spare parts business from our markets. Pricefx helps us, as we say internally ‘have the good feeling of doing the right thing and not only managing the software’.” – Vaillant

2017 and on Customers and Quotes

Our story is not over and we continue to help companies of all sizes reach their goal of having pricing processes that are fast, customer-centric, fair and flexible.

“We liked PFX a lot, like really a lot. They were very flexible. We needed to get a solution in place that was easy to use by sales and where they can easily get the information for the quote.  When they do a quote, they enter the product, they enter the customer and they push a button.” – EagleBurgmann

“We have decided to switch from a first-generation price optimization provider to Pricefx in 2018 because of its flexibility, responsiveness and implementation speed.” – Owens-Illinois

“With Pricefx we have significantly improved the accuracy on tracking of prices, margins and costs, so you can see the impact of Pricefx on our business.  You can also measure business results. It’s just effortless where we have Pricefx installed.” – Sonoco

But as with any great company, we could not have done this without our committed employees – those who have been with us from the very beginning, and also our recent additions. Thank you!

RS Components and Pricefx – A Project Launch to Make Pricing Process History

Ever wanted to know what a dream pricing project kick-off looks like? Look no further than the recent project launch that we had with RS Components. And what a launch it was – cake, good cheer and palpable anticipation for what our products would do to automate their pricing processes.

Pricefx is live at RS Components

The goal was to fully automate their pricing processes from an offline Excel-based solution to an integrated Pricefx system. This meant using PriceBuilder to efficiently model RS Component’s different strategies across the several categories, technologies, brands and markets worldwide. This would help to strengthen RS Components’ pricing capabilities both in terms of price setting and price analysis.

The strategies make use of various internal and external data sources, and before any actual price changes are made, they can be modeled and their impact simulated. After approval, the prices go downstream to ERP and e-commerce systems before looping back into Pricefx on executed transactions analyzed within the PriceAnalyzer module. This has a monumental impact on companies accounting for several variables in a timely manner.

So, what was one of the reasons that RS Components chose us to begin with us?

“Pricefx, is a young, dynamic company, not just somebody who had a staid product which needed updating,” said Gary Malpas, Commercial Analytics Manager, and the project’s business owner.

Thank you to the RS Components teams. We could not be happier to have had such a successful launch, and are excited to see our partnership produce great results.
