Project Overview
Project Title :- To Develop Global pricing framework for Omnitech's offerings
Objective :- To develop an effective pricing framework to enable sales to take informed decisions
Owner :- Sanket Mangrulkar , Manager - M&A and IR
Mentor :- Atul Hemani , MD & CEO
Project Details
For all offerings
To prepare a framework for pricing of all the offerings of Omnitech for all locations
(India and abroad). In the modelling of pricing framework all the costs (direct & indirect)
need to be identified for each of the offerings. Based on the detailed costs associated
with each offering, a model is developed in which direct costs are inputted. For indirect
costs, they are obtained as a percentage of total direct costs. For each of the indirect
cost, its value as a percentage of total direct cost is obtained either from historical data
or from calculations. After arriving at the total costs (direct + indirect), sales price is
generated by entering the value of desired profit margin. This sales price is arrived by
cost-plus pricing. After getting the sales price, various taxes (sales tax, service tax, etc)
are incorporated to obtain the final invoice price to be charged from the customer.
For each of the offerings, two types of pricing framework was developed i.e.
Auto-Price framework
The invoice price is automatically generated.
Input – Direct Costs, Indirect Costs (as a percentage of direct costs), Profit Margin, Tax
rates
Output - Sales Price and Invoice Price

Sales Price & Invoice Price
The aim of this framework is to arrive at a final Invoice price to be charged from
client/customer based on the desired profit margin over all the costs involved.
Price-Entry framework
Based on a particular invoice price, the profit margin that is obtained is generated.
Input - Direct Costs, Indirect Costs (as a percentage of direct costs), Tax rates, Invoice
Price
Output – Profit Margin (on the entered Invoice Price)

Profit Margin
This framework is particularly helpful for the sales team to take informed decisions as
they will now be able to get the profit margin on the invoice price which they want to
10
11. charge to clients. So by comparing the obtained profit margin with the benchmarked
(desired) profit margin, they can take a decision on whether to consummate the deal or
not.
Cap on Direct Costs
For each of the frameworks, an extra feature is provided which calculates the cap (upper
limit) on the direct costs.
Input – Invoice Price
Output – Cap on direct costs
This cap on direct costs is obtained as follows -
Invoice Price
Deduct Taxes
Sales Price
Deduct Profit Margin
Total Costs
(Direct + Indirect)
Deduct Indirect Costs
Cap on Direct
Costs
For Managed Services (MS) and Application Services (AS)
After developing the pricing framework for MS and AS, Rate Cards for all the human
resources involved is developed. These rate cards are particularly helpful for the hiring
11
12. team as they now have the access to the rates of each of the resources based on which
they can take effective and profitable decisions regarding the hiring of personnel.
Cap on Resource Costs
For MS and AS, an extra feature is provided with cap on direct costs which calculates the
cap (upper limit) on the resource costs.
Input – Invoice Price
Output – Cap on direct costs & Cap on resource costs
This cap on resource costs is obtained as follows -
Invoice Price
Deduct Taxes
Sales Price
Deduct Profit Margin

13. Key Deliverables
An integrated pricing framework for all the offerings of Omnitech
Cap on Direct Costs
Cap on Resource Costs
Rate cards for MS & AS
Goals to be achieved by the project
A pricing framework to assist the sales team for taking informed and profitable
decisions
A cap on Direct Costs for the operations department to keep the direct costs
under control
A cap on Resource Costs for the hiring department to control resource costs
Rate cards for all resources for the hiring department to assist them in hiring
process
Cost-Plus Pricing
It is a pricing methodology in which the price is obtained by adding a specific
predetermined mark-up or profit margin to the total costs i.e. direct costs and Indirect
Costs. It is one of the most basic pricing strategies. In this type of pricing, the mark-up is
usually added to the average variable costs.
In cost-plus pricing, first all the costs associated with the product/service are identified.
Then a mark-up is set based on the desired profit margin. The value of this mark-up is
added to the obtained value of costs to get the value of final price to be charged.
Pros of Cost-Plus Pricing
Easy to calculate
Operationally efficient
Increase in price can be justified by increase in costs
Enable pricing decisions to be taken at relatively lower management level
Can be ethically justified
13
14. Will lead to price stability (if competitors follow same strategy)
Cons of Cost-Plus Pricing
Doesn’t take price-elasticity of demand into consideration (which can lead to
charging higher or lower prices than required)
There is little or no incentive to control costs which can lead to inefficiency in the
business
Includes sunk costs and ignores opportunity costs
Doesn’t get influenced by competitor’s pricing
It requires calculation of all overheads in business which is tedious task. At many
levels, due to the inherent difficulty in calculating the overheads, some arbitrary
values are taken
Strict application of cost-plus pricing can lead to a vicious circle for businesses

helpful to take profitable decisions for sales
o A Direct Cost Cap is generated which will help the operations department
to optimize direct costs by becoming more efficient.
In the Price-Entry framework, all the sheets are same as Auto-Price framework except
for the following differences –
Profit Margin is not entered in the input sheet (unlike Auto-Price)

Costs
Employee Cost
The revenue for each quarter is obtained by multiplying seasonality index with total
revenue. Similarly employee cost for each quarter is obtained by multiplying seasonality
index for resources by the cap on resource cost obtained in the table above. The cost for
each of the resource except the Basic Resource is calculated by the following formula –
Actual No. of Employees * Seasonality Index * CTC of the employee
For the Basic Resource, the cost is calculated by deducting all the other resource costs
from the cap on resource cost for that quarter-
Cap on Resource cost – sum of all other resource costs

37. Rate Cards
The rate cards for each of the resource are developed by taking the employee cost for
each of the resources for each year. These rate cards assist hiring team to take
profitable decisions in the hiring process since it provide the cap on the resource cost for
each of the resource. By utilizing this, optimum numbers of resources are hired for each
service with optimum experience. Rate cards appear as shown below. For some cases, a
multiplier can be used to obtain more accurate rates for resources.

39. Conclusion
Pros and Cons in current system
• Pros
– Clearly defined boundaries between various offerings
– Availability of detailed costing data
• Cons
– Scope of competition based pricing
– Difficulty in identification of indirect costs
Suggestions to overcome limitations
• Competition based pricing can be developed for ES, AS and DR-BCP
• Indirect costs and tax structures can be well defined
As per project objective, pricing framework for all the service offerings of Omnitech is
developed. In addition to that, rate cards are also prepared for AS and MS. Cap on Direct
Costs and Cap on Resource Costs data are provided for assisting Operations and Hiring
teams respectively.
