hmmm, not totally sure, depends on how Pine does pricing. Usually there is a pricing manager who does pricing and he runs manu EPO. So if someone in the field calls and says he has a big deal for some slow selling product, which is just sitting around in the warehouse anyway can he get a rock bottom price that is still profitable for Pine, manu software does that. Its complicated because there are all these variables in the COGS that affect how cheaply you can sell something and still make money. Right now (ask any pricing manager) this is all GUESS WORK. And its getting worse since the supply chain is letting inventory sit all over the place and each locale has different costs associated with storage and logistics. At any rate manu epo is a strategic app but not something the entire company would run. Just the senior pricing people whoever they are. L
