Nielsen’s Retail Pricing Analytics brings stability to an unstable pricing landscape impacted by geopolitical and supply chain hurdles—which, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, have driven inflation among nearly 80% of Nielsen U.S. measured product categories. The application integrates Nielsen’s price intelligence data—built on the company’s leading point-of-sale data—with machine learning algorithms to help retailers create, manage and improve pricing and promotion strategies. Accessible through an interactive cloud-based interface, Nielsen’s Retail Pricing Analytics provides retailers with detailed, yet intuitive summaries of the impact of implemented pricing changes (on the overall category, not just a single item), as well as item performance detail—to better understand margin impact. Embedded AI dashboards mine billions of data points to identify logical price changes for ongoing execution.
