Challenge
With the shifts in consumer behavior, unpredictable demand, stressed supply chains, and growing competition, it is imperative for retailers to make innumerable pricing decisions in an integrated manner to drive positive price perception, market share, and profitability. Constrained by limited budgets, they struggle to strategize and manage every aspect of pricing throughout the product life cycle for both short-seasonal products and multi-year basic replenishment items.
