Discount Approval Router
Routes discount requests to the correct approval authority based on deal size, margin impact, and customer tier — enforcing the discount authority matrix and preventing below-floor pricing without explicit CFO approval.
Critical_Problems_Solved
Unauthorised Discounting
Sales reps grant discounts beyond their authority — margin floors breached without finance visibility.
Approval Delay
Discount approvals queued in email — deals stall waiting for commercial sign-off.
Margin Floor Violations
Below-cost or below-floor deals approved by uninformed managers — P&L impact not visible at approval.
Discount Pattern Blindness
Systematic discounting habits by reps or segments not visible until margin review — too late.
