San Francisco-based Maxager develops software that helps companies to drive better business performance by integrating planning and profit maximization. The company’s secret sauce is a technique that goes beyond traditional margin-only analysis to uncover profit gain opportunities in businesses. Instead, Maxager’s software uses a combination of margin and production efficiency metrics to analyze historical profit performance and provide future-looking models for optimal product and customer mix profitability, sales and profit planning, strategic pricing and production planning.
Since its founding in 1996, Maxager has carved out a strong niche for itself in process industries that generally have a wide mix of products, customers and production assets. Dow Chemicals is a marquee customer.
Perron is a 12-year SAP veteran who led the German business applications software maker’s governance, risk and compliance business.
