Fliptop (Discontinued Product) vs. Vendavo

1. Be sure to specify and understand the impact on your model when looking at volume versus value factors. 2. Ask all your potential vendors about set-up costs and time. 3. Understand, with any predictive model, how it will affect both marketing and sales - a predictive tool should bring the two closer together. 4. Remember - its predictive, not all-knowing and brief/train your teams accordingly.

Vendavo is well suited for large organizations with complex pricing scenarios. Vendavo is very flexible to implement to different businesses. Global processes can be done in Vendavo with a single instance on most occasions with diverse business processes without compromising much of the current business processes.

Incentivized

• Listening to customers - very responsive customer success team.
• Working with customers to build the most predictable model.
• Easy to set up and get useful reporting quickly.

• The charts and graphs that you can pull from Vendavo are easy to read, and easy to work with.
• Reporting - You can save individual reports and run them consistently. They are also easy to tweak for a more specific application.
• Export capabilities were great, it was easy to grab data from Vendavo.

Incentivized

• A little more explanation of how different factors can affect the model in terms of the customer objectives - they've really listened here and have really focussed on the changes we needed to make.
• Update specific fields/features e.g. multi-currency support (now done), non-confusing field names (being released), custom fiscal years for reporting (coming I believe)

• Improve import function in the Profit Analyzer for bulk parts. Handles large part imports slowly.

Support was not very responsive, and required added costs.

We pushed Fliptop through to preferred vendor because (at that time):

• Fast set up time with zero cost
• Public appexchange listing (passed salesforce security)
• Demonstrated best understanding of our requirements

I preferred Vendavo, but my price manager migrated to Tableau. I think because of the licencing costs of vendavo?
