MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2016) - Vendavo, a leading provider of margin and profit optimization solutions, announced today at SAPPHIRE® NOW the addition of its price optimization solution to the SAP® Price and Margin Management by Vendavo portfolio, an SAP solution extension. The solution, which determines optimal target prices and delivers them to sales for better deal negotiations, has been integrated to run on the SAP HANA® platform to simplify and transform the customer's path to success in the digital economy.
