How This Automation Works
Price Change Approval → Synchronized Contract Pricing
Price Change Detection
System monitors the rate management database for approved pricing changes, including labor rates, material costs, service tier adjustments, or seasonal pricing updates. When changes are detected, the system extracts the new pricing structure, effective date, and change reason.
Contract Identification
The system queries all active service contracts and identifies which agreements are affected by the pricing change based on service types, equipment categories, coverage areas, or billing terms. Contracts are categorized by update complexity and customer approval requirements.
Pricing Calculation
For each affected contract, the system calculates new pricing while applying customer-specific discounts, volume commitments, negotiated terms, and grandfathered rates. The system validates calculations against contract maximums and pricing protection clauses.
Exception Handling
Contracts requiring special handling are flagged, including those with pricing caps, customer approval requirements, locked-in rates, or complex pricing structures. These are routed to contract managers for review before updates are applied.
Amendment Generation
The system automatically generates contract amendment documents showing current versus updated pricing, calculates annual impact, and includes terms and effective dates. Documents are formatted according to company standards and prepared for customer distribution.
Customer Notification
Notification lists are created segmented by customer type and approval requirement. The system generates personalized communication templates explaining the pricing changes, provides justification based on market conditions, and includes next steps for customers requiring acceptance.
Contract Update
Approved price changes are applied to contract records in the service management system. The system updates billing schedules, adjusts recurring invoice amounts, logs all changes with audit trails, and sets effective dates for the new pricing structure.
Verification and Reporting
The system verifies all updates completed successfully, identifies any failures for manual resolution, generates summary reports showing contracts updated versus pending, and calculates total revenue impact across the portfolio.
How It Works
Managing pricing across multiple HVAC service contracts becomes increasingly complex as material costs fluctuate and labor rates adjust. Manual updates lead to inconsistent pricing, billing errors, and revenue leakage. This system automatically propagates approved price changes across all relevant contracts, ensuring every agreement reflects current rates while maintaining customer-specific terms and grandfathered pricing exceptions. The solution validates each update against contract terms, identifies contracts requiring customer notification, and generates amendment documentation automatically. By centralizing price management and automating distribution, HVAC companies eliminate pricing discrepancies, reduce administrative overhead, and ensure consistent margin protection across their entire contract portfolio.
The Trigger
Activates when new pricing is approved in the rate management system, including labor rate adjustments, material cost updates, service tier changes, or seasonal pricing modifications. The system identifies all contracts affected by the price change and queues them for automated updates.
The Action
Updates all affected service contracts with new pricing, applies customer-specific discounts and exceptions, generates contract amendments for review, flags contracts requiring customer approval, and creates notification lists for account managers to inform customers of upcoming changes.
