Raw material price analytics for compounding companies

In compounding, material prices, formulations and timing determine competitiveness and margin. pricenxt supports compounders with interactive price analyses, boards and price series comparisons for relevant raw materials and polymer groups.

Why is material price data important for compounding companies?

Compounders have to correctly assess price movements in polymers and selected compound grades. A structured price workspace makes costing, procurement, and customer communication easier.
  • Capture price movements faster

    Interactive charts make price developments, deltas, and price levels visible, without data having to be merged manually from different views.
  • Compare products and price series

    Variants can be compared in a shared analysis view – including spreads, index representation, and correlation perspective, where useful.
  • Bundle relevant raw materials on boards

    Teams can set up personal boards for the most important products, markets, and material groups and review them regularly.
  • Use price cards for KPIs and trends

    KPI, chart, sparkline, delta, gauge, spread and index cards condense price developments for a quick overview.
  • Analyse time periods and scenarios

    Configurable time periods, trend lines, forecast views and statistics panels support a robust assessment of price developments, where available.
  • Save, export, and share analyses

    Analyses can be saved as cards, exported as PNG or shared with colleagues via a share link.

pricenxt for compounding companies

The pricenxt Analytics for raw material prices, with which teams in compounding can capture price developments faster, compare price series and build up their own market monitoring in a structured way.

Challenges in compounding

Compounding combines technical requirements with commercial pressure. Price movements have to be translated into costing and sales quickly.

  • Raw material costs hit formulations directly
    Changes in polymer groups and relevant price series have an immediate effect on production costs and quotation prices.
  • Variants have to remain comparable
    Different grades, regions and time periods require clean and continuous analysis rather than isolated individual values.
  • Pricing arguments need transparency
    Customer and supplier conversations become easier when developments are comprehensible through charts, deltas, and histories.
