“Our ERP and consultants don’t show real cost impact by supplier or region.”
“Leadership asks for numbers, but we can’t explain the risk or forecast the cost.”
“Our reports are reactive, slow, and scattered across teams.”
“We keep losing margin to duties we didn’t plan for.”
“We tried hiring consultants, but they gave us generic PDFs that didn’t apply to our suppliers.”
“Nothing we use shows regional tariff risk clearly or helps us decide which vendor to pivot to.”
“We don’t know what to say to suppliers or how to justify pricing changes.”
