Margin protection

Find where you lose margin.

Margin doesn't disappear overnight. It erodes slowly, an outdated price list, one discount too many, a hidden cost. Kestevo finds it before it becomes a problem.

  • Often several points of margin recoverable, hidden across systems
  • Automatic alerts with root cause and recommended action
  • Real-time comparison of price lists, discounts, logistics costs

We're opening the private pilot to a limited number of companies. When we open the next slot, we'll reach out with an initial assessment of your situation.

Intelligence for your margin

Your systems see the data. Kestevo sees the margin slipping away.

ERP, legacy systems, Excel sheets, email, shop-floor chats. Every fact that moves margin lives somewhere different. Kestevo connects them into one signal, while it happens.

ERPAS/400MESCRMExcelWhatsAppSDIKestevoCFO ALERTMargin slippingPrice list frozen 11 months.Margin quietly slipping.
Your margin lives in seven different systems. You see it in just one.
Example 01
  • ERPTop 10 SKUs: margin -1.8% this quarter
  • CRMAverage discount: +3 points vs Q1
  • ExcelPrice list: frozen for 11 months
  • ERPFreight costs: +6%
  • ExcelContract register: raw-material escalator clause inactive
Alert | CFO

It isn't the market. It's 3 extra discount points and a price list frozen for 11 months. Margin is slipping where nobody is looking.

Suggested action

Refresh the top 10 SKU price list and activate the raw-material escalator: 2.4 EBITDA points recoverable.

Example 02
  • ERPLine B: margin +18%, volume -7%
  • CRMTier 1 customer: requesting Line B quote
  • MESLine B running at 62%
  • ERPLine B steel: -4%
Opportunity | Sales

Line B is your most profitable line, has free capacity, and material price is falling. There's room to push it with the Tier 1 account.

Suggested action

Quote Line B to the Tier 1 with 2026 terms: +€0.8M contribution over 12 months.

How Kestevo works

Kestevo recomputes realised margin per SKU, customer and channel from your ERP, e-invoices and price lists, then checks it against your list prices and contract clauses to show exactly where the gap opens.
