DemandTec by Acoustic, a pioneering leader in retail pricing, promotions, and markdown technology, today announced the launch of Autonomous Pricing On Demand. The new service delivers enterprise-grade, AI-powered price optimization for retailers of all sizes to quickly respond to market and consumer behavior changes so they can compete with larger and more tech-savvy competitors. A first for the retail pricing technology market, the service eliminates cost, training, and resource barriers traditionally required, while improving price perception to grow revenue up to three percent and margins up to five percent.
According to the March 2022 study on retail pricing from Retail Systems Research, about sixty percent of small to mid-sized retailers do not use data-driven solutions to manage pricing. “Competing in today’s economy — riddled with record-breaking inflation, growing consumer price sensitivity, and continuing supply-chain challenges — is increasingly difficult,” said Anis Hadj-Taieb, General Manager for DemandTec. “Retailers of all sizes need access to AI-powered capabilities to rapidly respond to changes in the market and consumer demand with intelligent pricing.”
