TRUTH: BI tools provide businesses analytics, which might help you figure out historically where you left money on the table. But BI tools aren't price management, price execution, or price delivery. BI tools can't help you proactively manage your business today to make sure you're staying relevant and that your pricing is maximizing every single selling transaction.

TRUTH: With AI, businesses have access to powerful tools that can revolutionize their profit optimization strategies while enabling employees to work more efficiently and strategically. In fact, one of our customers said: "PROS has enabled the first fully automated, AI-based system that we have in the entire company.
