Pricing recommendations built from the data Fusion already holds

A heavy-duty parts business running Fusion holds a complete record of every order, every price and every discount it has processed. Somewhere in that history sits the answer to a question most operations cannot answer with confidence: which prices are out of line with what the customer would actually pay, and by how much.

Pricing structures rarely go wrong in one go. They accumulate, one reasonable decision at a time, until discount rules contradict each other, customers sit in brackets that no longer reflect how they buy, and counter staff discount manually to win an order because the price in front of them looks wrong. Every one of those decisions made sense when it was made, and the cumulative effect across thousands of parts and hundreds of customers is close to impossible to read by hand.

Bubo’s algorithms work through your transactional history and return specific recommendations: which prices to adjust, in which direction, for which customers, ranked so your pricing team knows where to start. The recommendations go to your team, and your team decides. Nothing changes automatically.

How it works with Fusion

Bubo AI is a Karmak certified partner. We work from your Fusion data, which means no ERP changes, no new system for your team to learn and no IT project to commission. Our recommendations fit the pricing architecture you already run rather than asking you to replace it.

What it is worth

McKinsey’s analysis of the average S&P 1500 income statement found that a 1% improvement in realized price, with volumes held constant, produces up to an 8% increase in operating profit. Pricing is that sensitive, which is also why it is worth getting right rather than approximating.

On like-for-like sales, we look for a margin uplift in the region of 2 to 5%.

You send us an export, we run it through the same algorithms that power bubo.price, and we show you where your margin is going and what the opportunity is worth in your numbers. There is no commitment attached, and the findings are yours either way.

Know which customers are drifting while there is still time to act

Customer loss is an issue for every business. On average, businesses lose about one in ten customers each year. Over 90 percent of customers leave because they do Customers who leave rarely announce it. They order slightly less often, narrow the range of what they buy from you, and move a line or two to a competitor to see how it goes. By the time the drop is large enough to show up in a monthly revenue report, the relationship has usually already moved.

The difficulty is coverage. Commercial teams naturally concentrate on the largest accounts, because that is where the revenue is and because there is no practical way to monitor everyone else in the same detail. The accounts that quietly slip away are usually the ones nobody had time to look at.

bubo.retain gives you that coverage. It reads the buying behavior of your entire customer base and identifies which customers are showing early signs of moving away, ranked by commercial priority, so your sales team knows who to call this week rather than working from instinct or from last month’s numbers. It also shows which products are involved and where the customer sits, so the conversation can be a specific one.
