we aim to grow together

Symson didn’t just provide us with a pricing solution—they became a proactive partner, pushing us to achieve over 95% accuracy in competitor price monitoring while helping us evolve into a data-driven, AI-powered pricing leader.

Pricing Challenges

These were the main pricing challenges team DA.nl faced:

  • Did not have a good understanding of our price position
    We lacked a clear understanding of our price position in the market. It was crucial to compare our pricing to similar products, as well as higher-end and lower-end brands, but we did not have the necessary data. This left us unable to strategically position ourselves against competitors.

  • Price monitoring data quality and coverage
    Our previous price monitoring provider was unable to deliver competitor pricing data with 95% accuracy, which was our desired level. Both the coverage and data quality were below expectations. Missing key competitor data meant that our pricing strategies were poorly informed, leading to potential gaps in market positioning.

  • Struggling to interpret market fluctuations
    Managing thousands of products with low-quality price monitoring data made it difficult for us to accurately interpret pricing trends amidst market fluctuations. We needed a solution capable of handling large data volumes while delivering actionable insights in real time.

  • Limited competitive coverage
    Ensuring comprehensive coverage of all relevant competitors was a major challenge. Without complete data on our competitors, we were at a disadvantage when making informed pricing decisions.

  • Support and partnership limitations
    We sought a proactive partner who could not only help us overcome these challenges but also continuously support and challenge us as we adapted to new pricing strategies, AI, and algorithmic approaches. It was essential to find a solution provider that could start by delivering high-quality pricing data and grow alongside us, pushing our pricing strategy to new heights.

The value of pricing:
