Pricing governance is key to any global company. It allows enforcing global product strategy, forecasting budgets and soundly reacting to various types of market events. It starts with a good, centralised, and flexible data structure holding all pricing data along with key market insight information.
It is also a process involving multiple stakeholders, at multiple levels of the company, from global to country level levels. A pricing governance system acts in multiple capacities. It is a central location allowing sharing pricing data, but it is also a communication tool managing workflows, approvals and ensuring process traceability. It must hold the complexity while enabling nimble and effective processes.
