ProcureOS Pro hero

My goal was to increase contribution margin, since a lot of our revenue was from facilitating freight transactions with variable costs. We needed a way to steadily monetize under-performing accounts without affecting existing lucrative relationships.

ProcureOS Pro centered on redesigning the commercial model behind the platform. Similar customer cohorts were being sold through one-off structures with inconsistent account value, making growth hard to predict and harder to scale.

Commercial packaging and pricing were highly variable, even across comparable customers. The existing model limited repeatability, obscured value realization, and made long-term product investment decisions harder.
