Optimize Pricing and Inventory for Maximized Revenue
Accelerate In-Season Decision Making with Centric.
With margin pressure on every single SKU, brands and retailers can no longer make pricing and inventory decisions based on the past.
Trying to manually find and maintain optimal pricing, promotion and inventory throughout a product’s lifecycle for 1000s of products is time consuming and error prone. Further complicated by the growing number of influencing factors that need to be considered, it’s impossible to manage on spreadsheets and without the use of AI automation tools.
Even rule-based pricing doesn’t go far enough, with pricing and inventory decisions based on historical, backward oriented data, which consistently leads to sub-optimal outcomes.
Powerful AI enables forward-facing forecasts, intelligent pricing and inventory recommendations and the automation of tasks to optimize every product, in every location and channel to increase sell through, reduce inventory and maximize profits.
We have reduced our price reductions by about 2.5%. That translates into a 1% margin increase, which, on a 300 million-euro turnover, is a 3 million-euro increase to our bottom line. That’s quite a lot; more than we were expecting at the beginning of the project.
