About Pricing software solutions providing entry level Price Management through to the most sophisticated Price Optimization and Automated Rules Based Pricing needs using ‘elasticity demand models’ that encapsulate the interaction and collision of prices along with other merchandising activities. This enables the system to then forecast the likely outcomes of different prices. The solution brings together all the elements of pricing necessary in today’s markets to implement and optimize Hi-Low, EDLP or a mix of those strategies through line item, brand, supplier, competitor and category rules and differentials, mixed with performance targets.
