The U.S-based firm said in the statement that wholesale distributors face huge complexity with hundreds of products and customers, volatile costs along with competition from new start-ups or non-conventional businesses. The company has collaborated with the ‘SAP Wholesale Distribution Industry Business Unit’ to enhance margins through optimum pricing to maximize their SAP investment.
Speaking on which, Zillant’s CEO Greg Peters said that pricing is the most effective profit lever available to any organization. Distributors are challenged to manage, set, and execute pricing strategies that efficiently meet profit and loss objectives, allow sales reps to win deals, and foster an exceptional customer experience, he states.
He added that the company is thrilled to announce this significant SAP collaboration and partnership with the SAP Wholesale Distribution Business Unit to assist distributors in mastering a true price optimization approach and effortlessly respond to quickly changing business dynamics as well as market changes.

Zillant leverages a modular, cloud-based solution that will work on current price optimization challenges and integrate efficiently with top-notch SAP solutions such as SAP CPQ, SAP Commerce Cloud, and SAP S/4HANA® to tie pricing with the best strategies to get improved results. The outcome is that wholesale distributors can claim an extra revenue or profit margin.
