Benefits
BCG teams orient a full stack of capabilities to the client’s exact business challenge and build innovative solutions that position the company for early value and sustainable results.
BCG helped a global OEM build and deploy a dynamic spare-parts pricing platform, enabling the client to react faster to market changes. The platform allows the client to set optimal prices at the individual SKU level by leveraging internal and external data and state-of-the-art analytics. By implementing this approach, the client’s EBIT on spare parts increased by 3%.
The resource-intensive option management system at a multinational parts manufacturer was too complex, leading to eroding margins. BCG created a solution that used multidimensional data to improve forecast data by 25% and extended forecasting timeframes to 24 months.
BCG helped a global car manufacturer develop a fully integrated, customer-centric, build-to-stock sales platform. The solution blended analytics and business insights to recommend vehicle configurations that would provide dealers and national sales companies faster turnover rates and higher profit margins.
