Abstract:
Information about how much each product sold contributes to the results of a company is
essential, since, based on accurate information, it is possible to make better decisions in
business processes. Often companies have data in their databases, but these data need to be
worked on in order to generate relevant information for managers. This work aims to develop
an information system for monitoring costs and gross margin related to the prices practiced
at the time of sale. The methodology chosen for this study was action research due to the
possibility of relating academic and practical objectives. This way, a tool was created
integrating accounting data of costs of products sold with the sales prices and the gross
margin of products in each customer. As a result, a report was prepared on intranet
consulting to company’s databases, which presents quick reports where managers can work
directly in price adjustments with customers, when necessary, in addition to using this
information in planning for the following years.
