MindTree launches contract pricing framework

MindTree, a global IT solutions company, has launched contract pricing framework using IBM WebSphere Commerce to solve time-consuming business-to-business (B2B) eCommerce challenges presented by implementing and managing multiple contracts and price lists for a single customer, the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The company announced the launch at the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Big Show in Bangalore today.

Leveraging its WebSphere expertise and Centre of Excellence (CoE), MindTree has developed a customizable Contract Pricing Framework (CPF) that allows a single customer contract to be associated to multiple contract templates spanning from manufacturing, procurement and logistics to finance and legal among other business functions. The CPF also enables flexible pricing for B2B customers using multiple price lists, global discounts, and absolute price. In addition, CPF supports regionwise and role-based field level access to contracts which ensures that the right people have access to information.
