Is Your Pricing Really Under Control?

Sales wanted more flexibility.
Finance wanted more control.
Neither got what they needed and margin suffered.

“Pricing is under control. It’s in the system.”
That’s what management often hears.
And what teams often believe.

But here’s the reality:
Once pricing is in the system, it’s easy to assume it’s taken care of… until the cracks start to show.
This isn’t about inattentiveness. It’s about friction:
➡️ Sales asking for faster decisions
➡️ Finance trying to stay ahead of constant cost updates
➡️ Admin teams caught in endless back-and-forth
➡️ Customers expecting speed, flexibility and a seamless experience
➡️ The business striving for profits, market leadership and competitive advantage

Meanwhile, discounting goes unchecked.
Old prices linger.
New costs don’t filter through fast enough.
And profit slips through the cracks quietly, repeatedly.

What looks like “control” is often just a spreadsheet no one has time to question.
Pricing needs to be actively managed or margin will keep leaking through the cracks.
When pricing is buried in the system, it is no longer visible. And if it is not visible, it is not controllable.

True pricing control means:
✅ Timely updates
✅ Clear accountability
✅ The ability to spot and fix margin leaks in real time
✅ Flexibility to adapt to customer needs and shifting market dynamics
✅ Alignment between sales, finance and operations to ensure consistent pricing execution

Pricing isn’t under control just because it is in the system.
Pricing needs to be actively managed or margin will keep leaking through the cracks. You will always be chasing problems, not solving them.
