Challenge
Retail companies struggle to set optimal prices for products across different markets, categories, and regions, especially when expanding to new territories or launching products in untested segments. Without data-driven pricing strategies, retailers either leave money on the table with conservative pricing or lose sales with overpriced products, while lacking visibility into how product attributes and market dynamics should influence pricing decisions.
Solution
Interactive price prediction dashboard powered by machine learning algorithms that analyze product portfolios, regional market data, and category performance to recommend optimal pricing strategies. The system enables retailers to predict prices for new products, unexplored markets, or category expansions by leveraging patterns from existing successful products across their entire portfolio.
ROI
Worked at the scale of a fashion retailer with 5,000 SKUs across 10 countries on $50M annual revenue. Every figure comes from the inputs — swap them for yours and the outputs follow. How we build these numbers →
Inputs — what we assume about the business
| Assumption | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual revenue | $50M |
| SKUs | 5,000 across 10 countries |
| Revenue lost to suboptimal pricing on new market entries | $2M/year |
| Revenue missed on underpriced high-demand categories | $1.5M/year |
| Inventory sitting overpriced for its region | $800K/year |
| External pricing consultants and market research | $300K/year |
Outputs — what price prediction changes
| Lever | Improvement | Arithmetic | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| New market entries | 60% of the pricing loss recovered | 60% × $2M | $1.2M |
| Underpriced categories | 60% of missed margin captured | 60% × $1.5M | $900K |
| Regional overpricing | 75% of lost sales recovered | 75% × $800K | $600K |
| External pricing research | replaced, down 83% | 83% × $300K | $250K |
| Total annual impact | $2.95M |
Also shortens pricing decisions for a new launch from 3–6 months to weeks.
Scales across retail categories — electronics, home goods and luxury.
