In particular, the Pricing with ML practice was created after identifying and developing price automation/price optimization projects for different retailers.
This practice aims to help forward-thinking retailers to understand, in a data-driven fashion, the impact of using ML to improve pricing processes and decisions, as well as helping in the development and deployment of a novel solution.
With a solid but customizable services process, our pricing projects have demonstrated to produce high savings and relevant gross margin improvements.

Our Pricing PracticePricing with Machine Learning fits into the wave of data-driven pricing strategies that are revolutionizing how retail operates.
Price Automation
Take the guesswork out of pricing using multiple data points. Reduce operational costs eliminating manual pricing process.
Optimization
Maximize profit through future product demand estimation. Optimize your gross margin, sales volumes, sales velocity and promotion.

Price Automationwith Retailer CoLeading public marketplace in the fashion industry, with over $1B in transactions per year and 100k unique SKUs processed every month.
SituationThe pricing process is extremely time-consuming and is neither cost-effective nor consistent.
What we did• Set up automatic pricing for more than
half of the products in the catalog. Pricing algorithm leveraged images of products, descriptions and similar products among other features.
• Optimization models to determine the best price for a given product, at a given time, to maximize revenue in development.

Price optimizationwith Lux Retail CoBrick & mortar luxury retailer with +9,000 employees and 160M customers per year.
SituationThe pricing process is suboptimal in terms of revenue consistency and cost of operations. The intention is to incorporate price optimization algorithms to deploy in their brick and mortar stores through an accurate demand forecasting.
What we did• Demand forecasting models for 110 SKUs
using various data sources.
• Deployed weekly prices to 110 SKUs in one store, benchmarking with control store.
PhasesData analysis & cleaning, machine learning modeling, price exploration, and price optimization.

Phases: from PoC to ProductionDoing changes in pricing is risky, therefore we suggest a Proof of Concept / Proof of Value as a first stage. As soon as this phase provides promising results, the rollout phase is planned accordingly.
For the PoC phase the following are the standard phases:
Data cleaning& analysis (3 - 5 weeks)
Machine Learning Modeling(4 - 6 weeks)
Deployment, experimentation &
exploitation(5 - 10 weeks)
How to start?Let’s start by assessing your sales data to understand the automation/optimization potential.
