How to handle inflation in the right way

Temper the effects of high inflation rates with the right pricing strategies and software implementations.

Two people using Automated Smart Pricing Software SYMSON to manage their prices during high Inflation

What is the impact of high inflation rates on your pricing strategy?

The way you manage your pricing is crucial when inflation rates are skyrocketing – it determines who stays profitable and who loses out on margin.

It is important for businesses to know how inflation influences their pricing policies. However, many pricing strategies are grown out of historical prices or cost-based structures. During times of high inflation, costs skyrocket for businesses. This ultimately leads to a lower or non-existent profit margin.

Businesses that are able to increase their prices effectively, are going to win during high inflation rates. They can capture profit margins that they did not capture before.

What are the biggest challenges during inflationary times?

Challenge #1

Increased Costs

During inflationary times, price elasticity
is more important than ever.
  • Rising costs lead to lower profit margin.
  • Harder to predict future prices of suppliers.
  • Profitability of organisation is more unstable.

Challenge #2

Price Elasticity

During inflationary times, price elasticity
is more important than ever.
  • Demand for products usually decreases when the price is increased.
  • Price elasticity is different for each product.
  • Customers may respond negatively to your business if price is increased, and they might even switch to a competitor.

Challenge #3

Timing of price increase

Deciding to increase prices is one thing,
but when and how is a completely different story.
  • Difficult to estimate when it is the right time to increase prices.
  • Large product portfolios become harder to manage manually.
  • It is hard to get every department on board for a price increase under time pressure.
