MERU CASE STUDY

Identified 3-4% of margin improvement for a leading industrial equipment manufacturer

COMPANY OVERVIEW

  • Publicly-listed leading manufacturer of technology applications and highly engineered equipment for food, beverage, and packaging industries
  • Annual revenue of approximately $2 billion
  • The Company acquired multiple family-owned businesses over time, none of which were fully integrated. These “legacy” businesses continued to operate on a “this is how it’s always been done” mindset
  • Company’s organic growth had flat-lined. They were interested in driving revenue by deploying a consistent pricing philosophy across different businesses

OUR APPROACH

  • Deployed three different pricing approaches tailored to the different types of businesses
  • Original equipment. Updated cost estimation sheets to include cost floors and implemented change order pricing
  • Aftermarket services. Accelerated a new revenue stream on how to manage current install base by promoting preventive maintenance services
  • Transaction pricing. Harmonized pricing for spare parts based on sales velocity, engineering complexity, and perceived value to the customer
