Calculate margins and simulate price changes with Pickware AI

Use Pickware AI to simulate price increases, get an overview of your margins, and identify critical products.

A supplier announces a price increase — what does that mean for your margins? Which products fall below your threshold? Instead of manually comparing purchase prices and selling prices in a spreadsheet, let Pickware AI do the math.

Simulate price increases

When a supplier adjusts their prices, you can play through the impact right away:

Supplier XY has informed me that they will increase their prices by 10% from October 1. How does this affect my margins? Will any products fall below my minimum margin of 25%?

Pickware Admin: Pickware AI chat with a question about a supplier's 10% price increase and a list of products below the minimum margin of 25%

Pickware AI calculates the new purchase prices, compares them with your selling prices, and shows you which products become critical.

The scrollable tables show you the concrete margin differences right away:

Get an overview of current margins

Even without an upcoming price change, you can get an overview:

Which products from supplier XY currently have a margin below 20%?

Show me the top 10 products with the lowest margin.

Derive price adjustments

Based on the analysis, you can take the next steps right away:

Which selling prices would I need to adjust to keep a margin of at least 25% with a 10% increase in purchase prices?

Tips for margin analyses

  • State your minimum margin specifically — "25%" is better than "sufficient margin". The more specific the threshold, the more useful the result.

  • Double-check the numbers — Especially with many products, calculations can be inaccurate. Use the results as a starting point and verify critical values in the Admin.

  • Specify time periods for price changes — "From October 1" helps Pickware AI distinguish existing prices from future ones.
