Ryan utilized training videos to gain an understanding of the exception pricing process. He split his time between his normal functions of running sales reports, developing dashboards, maintaining rebate reports, and classifying customers, suppliers, and projects within P21. He took on some of the tougher exception price increases, specifically one of Valin’s largest instrumentation suppliers. He was able to dig into the information and get an understanding of all the discount structures, the general increases, and the many customers that are impacted by the supplier's price increase. This included restructuring a Refinery customer pricing from hardcoded prices to an off-list discount. This is important because it allows Valin to be more effective in passing along price increases. When a price list comes in, and costs are updated, customers with off-list discounts automatically increase within P21. So, the need to rework entire files for each price increase is not necessary. Over the entirety of Ryan’s shift into pricing, he took on approximately 50 price files of some of the most critical suppliers that generate the highest level of revenue for Valin.
Without Ryan’s helpful attitude and willingness to learn, we would have been overly impacted on managing all price increases and would have seen slippage in margin throughout the company. Ryan’s positive attitude and ability to quickly adapt to the needs of this organization have provided an excellent service to all shareholders within the organization.
