June 17, 2013- 

WHAT: On the road to increased profitability and becoming an outperformer in the service parts industry, many companies that serve automotive, heavy equipment and aerospace businesses fall prey to common pricing challenges that inhibit effective price management of their products. This is increasingly true across today’s landscape, where we see both old obstacles – such as competition from third-party manufacturers – as well as new ones – like how to quickly analyze large amounts of data to implement lifecycle pricing.
