Case Study: Specialty Chemical Manufacturing Company achieves 20% lower total cost of ownership and faster, more productive pricing with Vendavo

Hosted Solution Lowers Total Cost of Ownership and Enhances Productivity at Specialty Chemical Manufacturer

A market-driven global specialty chemicals manufacturer—maker of lubricant additives and advanced materials with roughly 60,000 SKUs and 400+ account managers—faced aging on-prem pricing software and the need to upgrade, transition to a cloud model, and integrate pricing with SAP to maintain consistent, timely prices across its global business.

The company moved to Vendavo’s hosted SaaS using Profit Analyzer, Price Manager and Deal Manager with bi-directional SAP integration, cutting total cost of ownership by about 20%. The hosted solution unlocked new features, sped enterprise-wide price changes through structured workflows, approvals and impact modeling, delivered a smooth cutover, and let the team focus on strategic pricing instead of application maintenance.
