Founder & CEO
Robert M. Münch
Inventor of NLPP, the mathematical core of Value Intelligence. Robert has led Saphirion since 2006, from the first price-data analyses to the DATA2VALUE platform — and still works hands-on where the numbers are.
Company · Origin
It started with a question a spreadsheet couldn't answer.
What is a product really worth?
Not what it cost last year, not what the supplier is asking, not what the customer wants to pay — but what its performance truly justifies.
Since 2006, Saphirion has pursued one conviction: the economic value of a product is measurable, and decisions improve the moment it is measured.
Robert M. Münch invented Non-Linear Performance Pricing (NLPP) — the mathematical method that translates a product’s measurable performance features into the price its actual value justifies — and founded Saphirion to bring it into industrial practice.
What began as price analysis for procurement grew into a discipline: Value Intelligence. The same mathematics that exposes an overpriced part can justify a sales price, steer a design decision, and give management one comparable measure of value across departments.
The DATA2VALUE platform carries the Value Intelligence discipline end to end — capture the data, calculate the value, track the impact to the P&L.
The tone has not changed since the first analysis: calculate, don’t hype. Results are reproducible and explainable — a formula you can trust precisely because you can check it.
Prices are opinions.
Value is a calculation.

Intro call
A 30-minute conversation on your data — where could value hide, and is it worth checking?
NLPP Quick Check
A quick check on any category: your numbers, verified — not an estimate.
Proof beats promise
One category end to end: data in, opportunities out, results achieved.
One economic reality
The Value Intelligence method extends across products, categories and departments; everyone sees and understands value.
The value Intelligence company
Opportunities are natural, tracked from discovery to the P&L — value is a routine, not a project.
Company · People
The people behind the numbers.
A small team of engineers, mathematicians and practitioners — senior enough to be put in front of your data on day one.
Around the founder works a deliberately small bench of delivery engineers and data scientists. We introduce the team working on your case in the intro call — start the conversation.
Saphirion AG
The company behind the formula.
Saphirion has been turning enterprise data into measurable value since 2006 — from the invention of NLPP to one value based economic reality across every department.
We don’t just analyze data.
We engineer economic value.
