B2B Pricing Engine Rebuilt After System Migration — Invoice Disputes Down 94%

After a platform migration, a Burnaby specialty food distributor's customer portal was showing incorrect prices across 650+ restaurant accounts. Staff were manually correcting 80+ invoices daily. We rebuilt the pricing configuration without a system replacement.

The Challenge
  • A platform migration moved 650+ customer-specific price lists into a new system that did not support multi-tier B2B pricing — every account defaulted to the same base price list.
  • The customer portal was live and showing wrong prices to restaurant buyers who had negotiated volume discounts and contract rates years earlier.
  • Four staff members spent an average of 3.5 hours daily correcting invoices after the fact, creating a backlog that was growing faster than it could be cleared.
The Solution
  • Conducted a pricing architecture audit of the new system — documenting its pricing engine capabilities against the 14 distinct pricing tiers the business was actually using.
  • Rebuilt the B2B pricing configuration within the existing system using customer groups, price list inheritance, and contract-level overrides, avoiding the cost and risk of a replacement.
  • Designed a pricing validation script that cross-checked every customer account's effective rate against their legacy contract terms, catching 23 additional discrepancies the manual process had missed.
  • Delivered staff training on the new pricing model structure so the sales team could self-manage future account additions and rate changes without consultant support.
