Artikore leads data-backed negotiations that align pricing and terms with target unit economics and risk tolerance.
It benchmarks quotes against should-costs, structures volume tiers and MOQs, and optimizes payment terms, Incoterms, and lead-time SLAs.
Concessions are packaged deliberately -rebates, credits, and liquidated damages—while price-adjustment mechanisms protect margins over time.
Each option is modeled for landed cost and cash-flow impact, culminating in a negotiation-ready term sheet, clear fallback ranges, and governance for compliance and periodic reviews.
