Laboratory / Vendor

  • The  laboratory belongs to an industrial manufacturing company that produces battery components. Through KÖR network, the company opened its laboratory services to other market participants.

Laboratory’s challenge

  • Pricing  services was difficult: The laboratory previously only used internal accounting to calculate costs, making it hard to set competitive prices.
  • Lack of relevant market price information: As battery testing services were either unavailable or limited in the region, obtaining accurate market pricing data was a challenge.
  • Missed opportunities due to improper pricing: The company could not  participate in several projects because of misaligned pricing structures.

Laboratory benefit

  • Data-driven pricing adjustments: Through analysis of incoming bids, it became clear that  the company’s pricing structure needed adjustment to be competitive.
  • Market price analysis: KÖR team conducted a market price analysis for each service, working closely with the lab to ensure competitive and sustainable pricing.
  • Improved profitability: Price adjustments did not always result in reductions; in many cases, the laboratory was able to increase prices based on market demand and service value.
  • Higher success rate in securing projects: Today, over 60% of the quotes  the company issues to other market participants through the KÖR network result in orders, significantly boosting its competitiveness and market presence.
