THE STORY
A revenue lever, run like a relay race
Every discount on the platform started in an inbox and finished in the pricing engine, and a person carried it at every step.
A vendor emailed an Excel sheet of discounts by style ID. A category manager checked the format and the numbers by hand, keyed the data into the pricing engine, and sent it on through further approvals. Each handoff depended on someone being available, and each one was a place for a delay or a mistake.
A team of 8 held it together, stretched by constant market changes and margin targets for every business unit. Wrong prices and discounts still reached the platform, and when a vendor disputed a number, tracing its source was hard.
THE IDEA
Three questions the bot asks before it touches pricing
Instead of speeding up the relay, we replaced it with an unattended UiPath bot that interrogates every file first.
Only a file that clears all three goes into the pricing engine, on demand or on schedule, at any hour.
Pricing changes now travel from inbox to pricing engine without a manual touch.
THE RESULT
What the team got back
- 5x higher processing speed per request.
- Zero manual errors on discount data entry.
- An easier approval flow for vendor uploads.
- Pricing updates available 24x7, on demand or scheduled.
- An audit trail of every vendor transaction, so reconciliation and disputes start from a clear record.
