retail and e-commerce face the challenge of making their pricing more professional when margins stagnate, resources become scarce, or manual pricing processes are inefficient. Professional pricing software offers strategic added value here: It automates administrative tasks, enables data-based pricing decisions and maximizes sales and profit through intelligent algorithms. While rule-based pricing (level 1) creates transparency and trust, demand-based price optimization (level 2) uses machine learning to forecast optimal price points.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-601abfc elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"601abfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>However, the correct selection of a pricing solution requires a systematic approach: Studies show that 60% of companies regret software purchases, often with significant financial consequences.

In our understanding, this is not a mandatory feature. We understand dynamic pricing to be adaptive pricing. Over time, it is regularly (&#8220;dynamically&#8221;) checked whether the factors and market conditions that determine pricing have changed compared to the last pricing. These factors include, for example:    <\/p><ul><li>Purchase prices<\/li><li>Competition prices<\/li><li>Non-binding price recommendations<\/li><li>Range extensions (such as additional (a) brands, (b)  <\/li><li>Private labels, (c) price ranges, (d) package sizes, (e) model variants, etc.)   <\/li><li>Upcoming, past or parallel promotions and promotional prices<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4f6c8a elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4f6c8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf the factors have changed, it is decided whether a price change is necessary. You can theoretically make price adjustments in real time (&#8220;real-time&#8221; or &#8220;near real-time&#8221;). However, if &#8220;price stability&#8221; is part of your pricing strategy that you want to maintain, evaluate &#8220;dynamically&#8221; whether the advantage of a price change and price update outweighs the disadvantage of foregoing the desired price stability. You frequently check whether prices need to be changed, and just as frequently decide whether you actually make the price adjustments according to the market changes.    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf6f4e elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7cf6f4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.2 Pricing Software and Price Optimization Tools<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-385f8fe elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"385f8fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You can perform this regular review of how the market and other factors have changed manually.

An internal pricing manager determines the strategic orientation of pricing and defines corresponding decision trees, which are scaled by a pricing system. These rules begin with a definition of the scope, e.g. range sections and article roles (e.g. all corner articles\/KVIs in the category XYZ).  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16a21d3 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16a21d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThen rules and rule priorities are set. For example, target prices and target margins are specified, relevant competition prices are defined, maximum distances to competition prices are determined, price distances to related products are maintained, the non-binding price recommendation (RRP) is collected as the maximum price and an absolute minimum margin is set as the price floor (&#8220;safety net&#8221;). \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6492c6d elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6492c6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe result of this price calculation can be traced and recalculated at any time. If a price is classified as incorrect, the underlying rule can be systematically corrected. The configuration of pricing rules promotes thinking in mechanisms and processes that are required for objective pricing. Pricing according to gut feeling or &#8220;expert assessment&#8221; is replaced by data-based pricing.   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e177c9 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e177c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis experience of being able to recalculate prices increases trust in an automated price calculation.

These framework conditions define a possible price range. Within this price range, an optimal price is set in accordance with the specified pricing strategy, which maximally achieves the target value of a so-called target function. This process and the underlying technology are understood as price optimization.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-396ed49 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"396ed49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn this process of automated pricing, artificial intelligence or, more accurately, machine learning takes place. Algorithms predict the demanded sales for different price points within the possible price range. Therefore, this more advanced approach is also referred to as demand-based or demand-optimal pricing (&#8220;demand-based pricing&#8221;). For each of these price points, all financial metrics and KPIs can then be derived: Sales, contribution margin per unit, contribution margin in total, product margin (&#8220;Gross Margin&#8221;, in %), units sold. Depending on the chosen objective of the pricing strategy, the optimal price is automatically selected, which leads to a maximum result. This optimization of prices can also be achieved dynamically while complying with constraints: &#8220;Set the prices so that a minimum sales growth of 2% is maintained and the contribution margin is maximized.&#8221;     \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88f4fa8 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"88f4fa8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrice optimization not only works for individual products in the range, but also for larger range sections. Technically, cross-price elasticities for related products (substitute and complementary products) are taken into account in pricing. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64ede1a elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64ede1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe advantage of demand-based price optimization is an improvement in decisions regarding price changes. Sales and profit as well as their ratio are maximized compared to purely rule-based pricing. The price optimization software sets its own prices in such a way that the best results for the company are achieved in view of the chosen pricing strategies. The demand forecast underlying price optimization simulates the effects of price updates before they are implemented. This forecast ultimately also provides the basis for making pricing decisions and thus for the release of price recommendations by internal pricing managers.    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5669797 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5669797\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBut even if the possible, user-defined price range is specified by an internal expert, the optimal price or the underlying demand forecast can no longer be recalculated. This circumstance can be perceived as a disadvantage in an early phase of the software introduction, which is resolved with increasing experience of the internal team and professional change management. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-497f273 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"497f273\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f55250 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3f55250\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d4da9c elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d4da9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.
