But how does The Pricing Strategy Builder work?

Within SYMSON, there is a dedicated place for the Pricing Strategy Builder. In this special module you can see all your products and segment them in subgroups, if you want. Most of the time, companies with a large product portfolio will have multiple pricing strategies for different kinds of products. In the Pricing Strategy Builder, this is also possible. You are able to segment these product groups and to assign different pricing strategies to them. Once you have created your product groups, you can drag different building blocks to it, to create your own pricing strategies.  

There are 4 different kinds of blocks, which can be simply dragged and dropped into the product groups.  

• Pricing strategies: competitor-based, cost-based or elasticity-based pricing. Choose your strategy and let the machine learning powered software do its thing. Without the need of for coding.

• Business rules: There to keep certainties in your pricing strategy. Put rules in place to accomplish your goals. Set minimum margins or how much a price can vary.

• Notifications: These blocks are responsible for notifying certain business events, such as large cost increases or large margin increases.

• Standard block: These blocks are applied to all pricing strategies and apply for all custom product groups. For example, this block enables you to always have a certain margin when a discount is given.
