titlePrice Increase Realisation Waterfall

Price Increase Realisation Waterfall

Understanding the chart

The chart presented focuses on illustrating the price increase leakage and serves as a benchmarking tool for evaluating the effectiveness of price increases compared to other companies. The data in the chart is expressed in percentages and revolves around the concept of list price increase and realized price increase. Note that in order to display a comparison waterfall in the chart, it is necessary to capture an increase in company data. In the absence of such data, the chart will only show key performance indicator (KPI) data, resulting in a simple waterfall representation.

The chart incorporates labels for on-invoice discounts, off-invoice discounts, and transaction costs which represent different factors contributing to the price increase leakage. Unlike some of the other charts in Plasma, the drill-down option is disabled for this particular chart, limiting the ability to access further detailed information or explore specific data points.

The chart can be interpreted the following way: Suppose the transactions data indicates that the list price has been increased by $1. This $1 increase serves as the index base of 100%. However, the realised price increase, which reflects the percentage of the price increase effectively passed on to customers, stands at 65%. This means that out of the $1 list price increase, only $0.65 was successfully conveyed to customers, so effectively, the dollar raise is in fact only partial.

By analysing this chart, you can gain insights into your price increase strategies and your ability to capture the desired price adjustments providing you an opportunity to implement improvements to enhance overall profitability.
