Finding a Price Optimization and Intelligence Solution that Provides Transparency and Simplicity
Prior to partnering with Feedvisor, the seller was utilizing ChannelAdvisor as a listing tool and for repricing. After meeting Feedvisor at a conference, the seller decided to implement Feedvisor and use ChannelAdvisor at the same time for the listing capabilities. Ultimately, he ended up leaving Feedvisor, as he didn’t realize that ChannelAdvisor’s repricing tool was included. However, after leaving for three months, he returned to solely Feedvisor for repricing.

To begin, we performed a strategic analysis of the seller’s catalog and overall business operation. We looked at critical pricing, performance, inventory, and competitive data to help build a comprehensive roadmap specific to the seller’s operational model and business goals. Then, we applied our real-time pricing optimization solution, which operates in unison with business and operational intelligence and analyzes the constantly changing market dynamics to determine the optimal price for each SKU. Alongside the automated repricer, we performed a thorough P&L analysis to better understand the most and least profitable SKUs in the assortment on an ongoing basis.
