For better or worse, purchasing professionals are rewarded for capturing the lowest price; few have the time to scour the internet for ever RFQ to see if the bid offered is indeed competitive. Measuring value with price experiments is not realistic,&rdquo; shared Franz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Full-time competitive pricing professionals could work 24\/7 to generate statistically valid and accurate data. For the small and mid-sized manufacturer, the solution is to automate price comparison functionality. Until recently this was prohibitively expensive and often too complex. Automating costs and competitive prices can be achieved in a $5000 per year SaaS solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only when manufacturers stop basing critical business decisions on inadequate spreadsheets can the purchasing department succeed. Automated access to summary cost and margin information for each SKU delivers light SaaS &#8220;MRO\/tail-spend&#8221; price transparency, returning a minimum 11-14% COGS (cost of goods sold) reduction to the bottom line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AutomationMedia is the industry&#8217;s leading and popular technology website and useful resources for industrial technology enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About ManufacturingPower&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/manufacturingpower.com\/\">ManufacturingPower<\/a> is a cloud-based market intelligence solution designed to help small to mid-sized manufacturers streamline purchasing operations. This technology allows customers to achieve real-time visibility into industrial supply spend, better collaborate with suppliers, mitigate risk, and realize significant cost savings with the use of market transparency data. ManufacturingPower is a new-to-market SaaS technology with tools to simplify the industrial supply challenges facing all manufacturers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through cloud database management and unique algorithms, big data allows easy access to business intelligence. Until 2020, supply chain technology was far too expensive for the smaller manufacturer. ManufacturingPower offers a low-cost ($5000 annually) solution which provides even the smallest manufacturer the ability to compare competitive pricing driving immediate savings and equally rapid ROI (return-on-investment). ManufacturingPower demonstrates that knowledge is power and transparent market intelligence data to become leaner and far more efficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To understand the value proposition, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aul9L84B0is\">view this video<\/a>.&nbsp; To schedule a demo call (612) 655-5628.
