PRICE OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE
As a retailer, you need to know how to calculate for pricing that will improve profit. You can use price optimization models to obtain those calculations.
Price optimization models calculate price elasticity, or how demand varies at different price levels. You can then combine that data with information on costs and inventory levels to recommend prices that will improve profits. These models simulate how customers will respond to price changes – supplementing your managers' instincts with data-driven scenarios.
The insight you get from these models will help you do the following:
- Forecast demand
- Develop price and promotion strategies
- Control inventory
- Improve customer satisfaction
Price optimization is especially well suited to retail businesses that have products with long life cycles, such as grocery, drug, and office suppliers.
