Actionable insights, visual configuration and enhanced optimization use cases enable companies to proactively manage pricing efforts and take action faster than ever before
Pricefx, the global leader in cloud-native pricing software, today announced it has released the Paper Plane 11.0 version of its pricing platform. Based on customer feedback, the new version offers advanced functionality, including improved optimization use cases, actionable insights that identify business opportunities and risks, and visual configuration to design price strategies and approval workflows without coding. As a result, businesses can proactively manage and take action to drive revenue faster than ever before.
With actionable insights capabilities, businesses can continuously identify gaps and opportunities with smart data-driven automation, and then choose the optimal course of action.

Immediate, click-driven actions are integrated to Pricefx Plan package analytics, providing proactive business opportunity and risk detection capabilities with relevant contextual actions to follow up on the specific situation within the app.
