In order to achieve complete acceptance and implementation of the new pricing structures, we integrated various elements, including data engineering, data science and comprising elasticity analysis.
Product segmentation, basket analysis, advanced analytics , market insights obtained through market research, and our extensive commercial expertise, into our approach.

Using a semi-automated pricing optimisation system that depends on profitability and demand analysis, along with thorough research, market segmentation, and competitive positioning, we create finely-tuned pricing strategies that align with our clients’ business limitations.
Our pricing optimiser determines the best prices by considering the customers’ willingness to pay, as indicated by price elasticity, and the gross variable margin, all while adhering to established rules and constraints.
An analysis of elasticity by product type is regularly updated to reflect business constraints. This helps us identify areas where price increases can be implemented while safeguarding the performance of our online portfolio from substantial increases.
