Adapting to New Tariffs: Managing Frequent Pricing Updates with More4apps’ Price List Wizard
April 22, 2025
Navigating & Understanding the Tariff Impact
As global trade conditions evolve, businesses are increasingly being challenged to respond to new tariffs that directly impact the cost of goods and supply chain strategies. These changes are pushing companies to frequently update price lists. Managing price list updates in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is an essential step in adapting to the new tariff-driven landscape.
Tariffs raise the cost of imported raw materials, components, and finished goods. Businesses must choose whether to absorb these additional costs or pass them along to customers, both of which require strategic pricing decisions.
For many, this means reevaluating pricing models. Companies are weighing how much of the tariff burden to absorb versus how much to reflect in customer pricing to maintain competitiveness. This balancing act requires agility and precision in pricing management.

Garden of Life Streamlines Pricing with More4apps
Challenge:
Garden of Life faced a major operational hurdle—managing price lists with thousands of items was a slow, tedious, and error-prone process. Preparing for annual price changes took up to two months, with last-minute corrections often needed even after the new prices had gone live.
Objective:
They aimed to cut the price list update process from two months down to just 2–3 days. With around 100 price lists to manage, every item had to be manually reviewed and updated—an enormous task.
Solution:
The More4apps Price List Wizard, part of the EBS Toolbox, transformed the way Garden of Life managed pricing. Now, they begin the process just a week before the change, completing everything accurately and ahead of schedule. Beyond the annual updates, they use the tool daily to create and modify price lists and adjust individual prices with ease.
Result:
The biggest win? Annual price changes that once took months now take just days—with fewer errors and far less stress.
