About Us

Built on 20+ Years of Data Science Excellence

Echelon Pricing is a specialized division of Echelon Data Science, bringing proven analytical methodologies to a focused challenge: pricing intelligence for labor-driven service companies.

Through years of data science consulting at Echelon Data Science, we consistently observed service companies—particularly in janitorial, facilities management, and field services—struggling with the same problem: pricing operations that left 15-30% of potential margin on the table.

We founded Echelon Pricing to solve this systematically, combining:

  • 20+ years of Echelon Data Science expertise in advanced analytics and ML deployment
  • Deep operational experience in service industries (Aramark, facilities management, field services)
  • Proven methodologies refined through dozens of engagements
  • Specialized focus on pricing intelligence for labor-driven services

What Makes Us Different:

Unlike general consultants or software vendors, we bring the full weight of Echelon Data Science's analytical capabilities focused exclusively on your pricing operations. You get both strategic insight and technical execution—the systems actually work, and they drive measurable results.

Your Pricing Process is Costing You Millions

If your team is pricing jobs using spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and "that's how we've always done it," you're bleeding margin and losing to competitors who shouldn't be beating you.

Common symptoms:

  • 1Estimators produce wildly different quotes for similar jobs[2]
  • 2You win bids but discover later they're barely profitable
  • 3Production rates vary by region with no systematic justification
  • 4Historical bid data sits unused because no one knows how to analyze it
  • 5You can't answer "why did we win/lose this bid?" with data
  • 6New estimators take months to develop reliable pricing intuition
  • 7Leadership has no visibility into margin risks until it's too late

The Cost:

Most organizations are leaving 15-30% of gross margin[1] on the table through pricing inconsistency alone. For a $50M janitorial company, that's $7.5-15M in lost margin annually.
