    “Even in the midst of a pandemic and work-from-home orders, the Price FX Lightning approach delivered functionality that was up and running in less than six weeks. The Waterfall dashboard gives us full visibility into gross-to-net profitability, which is HUGE for our company because we’ve never had it before. Now our business units have information at hand to identify profit leakage and make better business decisions. The Revenue and Margin causality dashboards help us quickly explain the reasons behind changes in period-over-period performance. Previously, our pricing and finance teams spent up to two weeks building the analysis to create Revenue and Margin bridges for executive presentations and summarize causality, so the PriceAnalyzer dashboards provide tremendous time savings for us. During the project, we appreciated the collaborative workstyle of the Pricefx team and their openness and ability to make modifications that better meet the specific needs of our business.” says Laurie Flowers, Director of Pricing PLZ Aeroscience
