Why they chose Flintfox
- A future-proof and repeatable solution that enables them to easily upgrade to Dynamics AX across all their locations
- An integrated solution to manage incredibly complex pricing, including price breaks and free goods that vary for every geography, customer group and item group
- An automated solution to manage promotions, including off-invoice deductions, bill backs, high levels of price breaks and accrued promotions in certain geographies for large retailers.
The Challenge
Mapei’s legacy system had endured heavy custom programming, so it could manage complicated pricing and rebates. Mapei wanted a standard solution that integrated into their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, providing the right level of functionality without major customizations.
With accrued promotions in certain geographies for large retailers and high levels of price breaks, Mapei needed to automate promotional activities. The solution would first be implemented at the headquarters in Italy and then rolled out across all their subsidiaries.
The Solution
Mapei’s pricing is so complicated that they previously spent a lot of resources to create solutions. In contrast, Flintfox for AX provides pricing and promotions straight out of the box, with only minor enhancements needed for their most complicated deal.
Flintfox for AX improves and accurately measures Mapei’s trade spend impact and profitability. Mapei can maximize their trade spends effectiveness, with advanced pricing and deal flexibility. Flintfox for AX gives Mapei full financial control on chargebacks and deductions, as well as aligns their trade promotion budget with actual spending.
With Flintfox for AX, Mapei can easily upgrade their Dynamics AX ERP, across all their subsidiaries.
