Variable Margins — coming out of the stone age ..

For many years ( link here for 2012 version   and link here for 2009 version ) we have been writing various people at CARQUEST to get a system that would allow us as Jobbers to have variable margins on many standard lines so we can expect less margin to make the sale as the price increases… that seems pretty common sense to most ..and when you buy something personal you expect the seller would do the same … if the seller is too much on a $100 item maybe you look for a 2nd opinion … and the first guy looses 100% of any potential profit …

Well … the last major u[date allows for variable margins and we have tested them on a variety of lines .. there are issues – like requiring a change in what is the order of power to use what ( link here )

Innovation sure comes slow … even for really great things like this …why is that?
