Non-linear Performance Pricing (NLPP)
Transform your procurement strategy with predictive analytics. Identify over-priced components and secure "best-in-class" pricing across your entire product portfolio.
Uncovering hidden savings in complex portfolios
Traditional pricing models often assume a linear relationship between cost and performance: If a motor is twice as powerful, it must cost twice as much. In reality, the market doesn't work this way.
Non-linear Performance Pricing (NLPP) moves beyond simple spreadsheets. By analyzing the physical attributes of your parts, such as weight, torque, or material, against their price, CLEVR helps you establish a "Value Line". This allows you to identify outliers and negotiate from a position of mathematical certainty. Allowing you to make better, smart informed decisions.
Why NLPP is a gamechanger for procurement
Where bottom-up "should-costing" is too time-consuming for thousands of small components, NLPP provides a high-speed, top-down alternative to drive immediate cost reduction.
Rapid portfolio benchmarking
Analyze thousands of parts in minutes. NLPP identifies which components are priced above the market average based on their technical specifications.
Fact-based negotiation leverage
Move away from "gut-feeling" negotiations. Present suppliers with a data-driven Value Line that demonstrates exactly where their pricing deviates from the benchmark.
Identify "hot spots" faster
Focus your team's energy where it matters most. NLPP automatically highlights the "hot spots", the components with the highest savings potential.
Advanced analytics for modern procurement

Powerful capabilities to optimize your margins
CLEVR implements NLPP tools that turn raw data into actionable procurement intelligence.
Predictive pricing models
Calculate the expected price for new parts before you even send out an RFQ, ensuring you start negotiations from a realistic baseline.
Supplier benchmarking
Compare different suppliers against your global Value Line to identify which partners offer the best value for specific technologies.
Technical cost drivers
Identify which physical attributes (e.g. diameter, torque, speed) are actually driving your costs and challenge engineering to optimize those specs.
Automated data cleansing
Import data from ERP and PLM systems. Our tools help clean and categorize your parts so the regression models remain accurate.
'What-if' scenario planning
Simulate how changes in material prices or technical specifications will shift your portfolio's Value Line over time.
Interactive dashboards
Visualize your entire spend in one view. Filter by category, supplier, or business unit to see where savings are being captured.
Common NLPP use cases
Large-scale portfolio cleanup
Reviewing thousands of C-parts (screws, fasteners, brackets) to find outliers.
Initial price discovery
Setting the target price for a new component that has no historical data.
Supplier consolidations
Identifying which suppliers consistently fall below the Value Line and moving volume toward them.
Global sourcing comparisons
Comparing the Value Lines of different regions (e.g., EMEA vs. APAC) to determine the best sourcing strategy.
