we aim to grow together
With SYMSON’s real-time competitor tracking and data-driven insights, we now have the ability to make informed pricing decisions that strengthen our market positioning and brand presence.
- Lack of Visibility into International Pricing Structures
We struggled with limited visibility into how pricing was structured across multiple countries and distributors. This lack of transparency made it difficult to ensure consistency and alignment in their pricing strategy.
- Difficulty in identifying Margin Leakages
Without clear insights into their pricing data, Royal Talens found it challenging to detect margin leakages. As a result, profitability gaps across regions and distributors often went unnoticed, impacting overall revenue.
- Inability to track Market Positioning across Regions
We lacked the tools to effectively compare their market positioning across different countries. This deficiency made it harder to identify and address gaps in their pricing strategy relative to competitors in various regions.
- Disjointed Pricing Approaches Across Distributors
We faced challenges due to inconsistent pricing approaches between distributors. Without a centralised system to monitor and manage these discrepancies, ensuring strategic alignment and optimal pricing performance was difficult.
Royal Talens sought a solution to improve their pricing strategy across multiple geographical regions and distributors. They lacked visibility into how pricing was organized, struggled to identify margin leakages, and faced challenges maintaining consistent pricing across regions. SYMSON provided the data-driven insights they needed, offering real-time competitor tracking, RRP-based pricing, and comprehensive visibility into price differences across markets. This empowered Royal Talens to optimize margins, improve price consistency, and strengthen their market positioning, ultimately driving more strategic and competitive pricing decisions.
