Overview
Zilliant is an AI-driven pricing platform for B2B manufacturers and distributors that coordinates pricing decisions across products, regions and customer segments, and delivers real-time price guidance to sales teams. Founded in the late 1990s and based in Austin, Texas, the company has been owned by private equity firm MDP (formerly Madison Dearborn Partners) since December 2021.
The platform is built around Price Manager, a system of record for coordinating and governing pricing across an organisation, and Price IQ, which models pricing scenarios and recommends optimized price points using AI and data science. Zilliant Sales Agreements manages customer-specific pricing agreements at scale, while Sales Insights and Actions surfaces cross-sell, up-sell and churn-recovery opportunities for reps using predictive analytics. Native connectors integrate pricing into SAP and Oracle ERPs, and into Salesforce and SAP CPQ and commerce systems.
Zilliant publishes case studies from distribution and manufacturing customers reporting measurable results, including a heavy-duty parts distributor's 20% year-over-year same-customer revenue increase, a foodservice distributor's 134-basis-point margin lift with 50% fewer below-floor transactions, and a building products distributor's 120-basis-point margin lift from reducing manual price deviations.
