How It Works
Benefits From Our Cost Development Tracking Tool

Suppliers holds the advantage of having easier access to better data explaining historical outcome, current status and expected future trends. This data is often used against you, leading to unfair price increases as you lack a persuasive counter-argument. Prognos’ customised cost analysis will help fill this unfair information gap, allowing you to take control of the price negotiations using fact-based arguments.

Making sense of a complex data world
Interpreting data and understanding complex cost structures is a difficult, but often essential, process. In order to avoid having to reduce funds for other parts of your organization and risk losing competitiveness, knowledge of purchasing costs is key. Prognos will provide you with tailor-made price analysis reports, keeping you up to date with all necessary cost trends, giving you the upper hand in decision making negotiations.
What Challenges Does Prognos Help Address?
“Why Does My Supplier Only Call When The Price Goes Up, Not Down?”
Suppliers are often eager to increase prices when the material cost goes up, but are difficult to negotiate with when they drop. To gain benefit of the true cost fluctuations, Prognos’ Should Cost Tracker let you compare the suppliers cost for your product.
“Highly Complex Products Are More Expensive To Produce”
Some products requires more resources, energy or special equipment to produce. All costs analysis made by Prognos takes all dimensions related to producing your specific product into consideration. This includes energy consumption in production, material composition, geographical location of production, transportation methods, etc. Thus, the cost analysis reflects the total cost of producing your components, giving you a stronger position in price negotiations, even with highly complex products.
Risk Of Losing Your Only Supplier When Negotiating Prices
A common risk of a single source supplier is the increased dependency and lack of control regarding price developments. When there are no other suppliers to compare with, you can be forced to rely on cost information provided by a single supplier leaving you with little to no room for negotiations. Prognos provides you with fact based analysis that can be easily presented during price negotiations leaving no scope for discussion or wrongful interpretations.
Everyone Can Become An Expert, Just Google It!
Data is everywhere and can be accessed anywhere and anytime by everyone. The lack of data is seldom a problem, however, the lack of time and knowledge on how to make the data useful usually is. The Prognos Database has cost development data from 60+ countries being continuously updated from reliable sources, providing you with up to date information making you the expert in negotiations!

TESTIMONIALS
Loved by businesses and individuals across the globe
After our previous supplier wouldn't adjust their prices according to indications from our models from Prognos, we made the decision to look for a new supplier. The funny thing is that the new prices, after the sourcing project, were exactly in line with what Prognos models suggested. This saved us about 20% within this major category.
