Margin is eroding, but you
don't know where or why

Pricing drifts out of step with cost. Inventory drifts out of step with demand.
Both land in the same place — your margin — and neither one is visible in the tools you already own.

Excel analysis falls short

You can see margin eroding, but not why it happens.

ERP reporting is disconnected

Every team pulls its own data, with no cohesive view.

BI tools fail to add clarity

You get visibility, but no meaningful analysis.

You're stuck with no way forward

You can read the data but can't connect the dots.

A diagnostic your team can act on, not just read

Each step shows the work behind the recommendation: where the opportunity comes from, which moves matter first, and how the plan gets reviewed before it reaches your ERP.

1 Step 1

Put a number on your
margin opportunity

You know you don't capture the margin you should. We study your transactions, customers, products, and vendors, to quantify exactly what you're missing.

Healthy — 76.1% ($64.2M)
Needs attention — 23.9% ($20.1M)
What "needs attention" means: Sell prices haven't kept pace with rising costs. These accounts are your highest-priority for margin recovery.

Determine your
optimal moves

Spreadsheets can't run millions of computations. We model customer-product-vendor scenarios against your transaction history to find high-impact tasks.

Customer Story · Motor City Industrial "
I used to think I could do it all on my own… but Intuilize showed us how to optimize our operations and make more informed decisions. We went from relying on gut feelings to using metrics-driven insights.
Joe Stephens CEO, Motor City Industrial
After the diagnostic

The diagnostic tells you what to fix.
The Intuilize solution keeps it fixed.

Most distributors do not have a one-time margin problem. Sell prices fall out of step with vendor costs, and purchasing falls out of step with real demand — continuously. Intuilize is the system that holds both in place once the roadmap is deployed.

Price Optimization

Eliminate pricing drift

3–5%+ margin improvement in year one

As costs and demand move, pricing rules fall out of sync and teams compensate with spreadsheets. Intuilize surfaces the gaps before they compound across every customer, product group, and transaction.

  • Vendor costs reflected in customer pricing automatically
  • Override patterns outside margin floors flagged and resolved
  • Underperforming contracts surfaced before renewal
  • Channel pricing aligned to negotiated rates
Explore Price Optimization
Inventory Optimization

Stop inventory decay

15–20%+ working capital freed in year one

Inventory does not fail overnight. It drifts. Intuilize keeps purchasing decisions aligned with current demand, so working capital sits in stock that moves rather than stock that ages.

  • Slow-moving stock identified before it becomes a write-off
  • Reorder points tied to real demand, not last year's rules
  • Vendor cost changes reflected in reorders
  • Write-off risk surfaced by SKU before it compounds

Distributors who put their numbers in front of us, and what changed after.

Kirk Zehnder

We went from relying on gut feelings to using metrics-driven insights. It created a psychological barrier against discounting, which has made a significant impact.

We achieved $400K worth of transactions since launch with a 99.5% price adoption rate and $12K gross margin lift in just two weeks.

Questions we get before the kickoff call

The Intuilize solution optimizes pricing, costs, and inventory for mid-market industrial distributors. The Margin Diagnostic is the two-week engagement that shows you what to fix and what it is worth. The Intuilize solution is what keeps it fixed — holding sell prices in step with vendor costs and purchasing in step with real demand, month after month. Many clients start with the diagnostic and decide from there.
Mid-market industrial distributors — typically companies large enough that spreadsheets have stopped scaling, and small enough that enterprise pricing suites are out of reach. We work across the ERPs most common in this segment, including Prophet 21, Eclipse, NetSuite, Acumatica, TrulinX, The Business Edge, INxSQL, and more. If you are unsure whether you fit, a discovery call can help determine whether the diagnostic is a good fit.
The diagnostic includes four deliverables: a Margin Opportunity Assessment showing where you're leaving money on the table (broken down by customer, product, and vendor); a Margin Health Diagnostic identifying which accounts keep pace with cost increases and which don't; a Recommended Changes Report with specific adjustments and projected dollar impact reviewed before anything goes live; and an Implementation Roadmap, a prioritized action plan designed to deploy directly inside your ERP.
Most clients invest 3–5 hours total. We need a kickoff call, a standard data export from your ERP (a few reports your team already knows how to pull), and a final readout session. We handle the modeling, analysis, and prioritization, so you receive a finished diagnostic in two weeks without disrupting day-to-day operations.
We treat your customer, product, vendor, cost, and transaction data as confidential engagement data. It is used only to complete your diagnostic, shared only with the Intuilize team members working on your engagement, and can be covered under NDA before any files are exchanged.
Yes. We work with the ERPs most common in mid-market distribution, including Prophet 21, Eclipse, NetSuite, Acumatica, TrulinX, The Business Edge, INxSQL, and more. The diagnostic reads from a standard data export from your existing system. The implementation roadmap delivers changes in the format your ERP uses, so your team can execute without learning new software.
BI tools show you what happened. Pricing and inventory software enforces rules you already have. Intuilize figures out what the right rules should be by running millions of scenario combinations against your actual transaction history to find the highest-impact moves. Most clients have dashboards that confirm margin is declining; Intuilize is the step that tells you exactly why, and precisely what to change.
Across our engagements, clients typically identify 1.4%–3.7% of annual revenue in margin opportunity, with $1.1M–$4.6M recoverable for distributors over $100M in revenue. ROI varies by company size and current margin leakage; the diagnostic tells you your specific number before you decide whether to move forward with implementation.
No. The Margin Diagnostic is a fixed-scope engagement with a defined deliverable and no subscription or long-term commitment attached to it. Many clients choose to continue working with us after seeing their results, but that decision is entirely yours, made after you've reviewed the full diagnostic and understand exactly what your margin opportunity looks like.
