MANY BUSINESS ISSUES
Many problems can emerge when determining the selling prices of products. Nevertheless, distributors can rely on the various plug-ins included in the Pricing Analytics software suite to meet these challenges and stand out from their competitors.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE PRICE IMAGE, TURNOVER AND MARGIN
The Pricing plug-in allows you to define price positioning strategies in relation to your competitors, possibly under constraint.
This plug-in also makes it possible to run simulations that can then be compared with each other, in order to guarantee a result as close as possible to the business target.
COMPETITIVE DATA CAPTURE AND RESPONSIVENESS
- Non-Food : the WebDataCollect plug-in allows you to capture data from competitors’ websites and ensure real-time responsiveness
- Food : competitor data is generally acquired from specialists (IRI, Nielsen, etc.), accessible on a periodic basis.
For seamless responsiveness during peak periods, our ScanInStore plug-in allows store teams to conduct price surveys directly at competing points of sale. Take advantage of your self-sufficiency!
GUARANTEED COMPARABILITY OF BENCHMARKS
The Matching plug-in allows you to compare your competitors’ product catalog with yours so that you can guarantee the reliability of price simulations
This plug-in uses artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate and lighten linking operations.
PRODUCT LINE CONSISTENCY
The Linking module will enable you to maintain the consistency of your product lines by automating the internal linking of your repository, for example:
- “Flavour” linking
example: Vanilla flavoured yogurt linked with the same chocolate flavoured yogurt - “Brands” linking
example: Standard deviations between First Prices / Own Brands / National Brands - “Formats” linking
example: 1.5 L Coca Cola linked with 33cl Coca Cola - “Promos” linking
example: 750g cereals linked with the 750g+250g cereals offered

- All types of networks:
