Leading pricing optimization provider and prescriptive analytics pioneer, ActiveViam, brings European success to the United States
ActiveViam, the leader in price optimization for retail, has announced its launch in the United States. ActiveViam’s technology provides unmatched granularity and speed in the retail pricing market.
“We are very excited to bring our platform for retailers to the US,” said Kathy Perrotte, Managing Director and Co-Founder, at ActiveViam. “At ActiveViam we are constantly looking to deliver pricing optimization solutions that empower businesses to deliver better prices for consumers while simultaneously driving increased revenue in return. Retail brands across Europe are attracted to our ability to help them make better, faster pricing decisions and we are truly looking forward to helping retailers in the US achieve the same results.”

Yet, despite the growing emphasis on price many retailers continue to struggle to respond to competitor pricing movements and adapt and optimize their own pricing. Enter ActiveViam.

The ActiveViam platform is powered by proprietary prescriptive analytics technology, which uses a unique combination of optimization and simulation algorithms to advise on possible outcomes and answer: “What should retailers do on price?” This helps organizations make faster and better decisions, selecting the best course of action after simulating alternatives.

Now, ActiveViam is leveraging that same technology to drive value for the retail industry, where it first launched in Europe in 2017.
“From pure-play e-commerce to DTC brands, retailers are under pressure,” added Perrotte. “Retailers need to take advantage of every potential value driver and pricing optimization is the next line of offense in the industry.”
