Companies often have more variants than makes economic sense.<\/p>\n<p>The key question is: How much variance makes sense? Which variants are unnecessary? To answer these questions, the market needs and the economic sense of the variants must be analysed. While the economic sense can be determined from internal data, the analysis of market needs requires external data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only those variants that meet both market needs and economic viability form a sustainable product portfolio.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find out why it is important to consider both.<\/p>\n<h4>Economic viability analysis<\/h4>\n<p>A profitability analysis is based on hard facts such as order data from the ERP system and answers the question WHAT the customer bought. However, a pure focus on profitability ignores whether the variants are relevant to the target market and can lead to obsolete products.<\/p>\n<h4>Market needs analysis<\/h4>\n<p>An analysis of market needs is based on external knowledge, ideally already known in product management, and answers the question WHY a customer chooses the product. A pure consideration of market needs ignores whether the variants are lucrative for the manufacturer and can lead to losses.<\/p>\n<p>A good compromise is the analysis of the quotation data from a CPQ system, if it is built there with the help of a customer problem-oriented sales view (compare &#8220;Guided Selling&#8221; in the next step).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3d361e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c3d361e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d48ea40\" data-id=\"d48ea40\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d2e931 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0d2e931\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.encoway.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon_liste_lupe.svg\" title=\"icon_liste_lupe\" alt=\"icon_liste_lupe\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e7ea1c\" data-id=\"2e7ea1c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81057de elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"81057de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1351\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1351\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2.
