"Tatprof" change the pricing policy

The company «Tatprof», Republic of Tatarstan, decided to change its own pricing policy. The changes have become a necessity due to the unstable economy of the country and a «floating» exchange rate. Since November 2014, according to the press release issued, invoices and payment records of goods exhibited in USD. Payment is accepted in RUB at the exchange rate of the Russian Central Bank on the day of debiting the funds from the buyer's account. Prices of «TATPROF» today are formed in the currency and fixed on the 1st day of the month. However, «Tatprof» is no exception — extrusion companies producing a profile in Russia, to the same extent depend on the «Rusal». As for prices, they can be reviewed several times a week. For example, the day rate increased by 10%. If the cost will not be reviewed in the same day, the company expects the direct loss of 10% with a single order of the day. Hence, the constant change of price tags, which can be changed, even retroactively. Given the above, it is possible to consider the proposed «TATPROF» pricing system more understandable and user-friendly along with transparency.
