A newer price from a connected system never replaces a Current Price on its own. Costs arrive as cost records that show their source and when they were received.
If the connection drops, manual entry and CSV import still work, and existing records are untouched.

Decision recorded
Supplier cost rise absorbed
Costs went up. New prices cleared the margin floor, Finance approved them and the file went to the shelf system.
Decision recorded
Promotion closed on time
Start and end dates were set up front. Prices went back to normal the day the promotion ended.
Decision recorded
Currency move priced in
The currency weakened. Imported lines were repriced inside your guardrails, with the reason on record.
From a cost change to a price your team can stand behind.
Import products, costs and current prices from a spreadsheet or your business system. Every cost keeps its source and date.

Owómidé shows which products have slipped below your margin floor, and why, before they cost you more.
Bring costs, prices, margin analysis and approvals into one workspace. Your team can compare a proposed change, check it against your rules and keep a record of the decision.
Will Owómidé change our prices automatically?
Your team stays in control. Owómidé helps calculate and compare options; people choose and approve the changes. An approved export supports the handoff to whoever updates your prices.
Can we start with the spreadsheets we already use?
Yes. The product workflow starts with your products, costs and prices. The import checks show missing or inconsistent information so your team can resolve it before relying on the analysis.
Who should apply for early access?
Anyone responsible for pricing, margins or commercial decisions can apply on behalf of their team. Tell us how you price today and what you would like to improve.
What happens after I apply?
You receive an application confirmation and a personal invite link when your application is saved. We review your pricing needs and contact you about next steps. Applying does not commit you to a purchase.
How do personal invite links work?
Share your link with colleagues who would find Owómidé useful. If they apply through it, their application is attributed to your link. Keep your private access code to retrieve your link later; your email never appears in the public link.
How much will Owómidé cost?
Tell us about your team and pricing workflow. We will discuss scope and pricing with you before you make a commitment.
What happens to our information?
Application details are used to review your request and contact you about Owómidé. Product access and any business-data import are separate steps. Read the privacy notice for the details.
