PRGX Funding Insight provides item-level performance and profitability with dead net cost, delivering the critical data element needed to drive incremental improvement and negotiation leverage.
How can Category Managers quickly identify opportunities to increase funding and margin?
Funding Insight provides opportunity identification through analysis of funding and margin uplift to historic values, category margin uplift for underperforming suppliers, sales unit/tonnage erosion, and cost changes with retail markup variance. These intelligence-based insights help you quickly spot where action is needed.
