Spring 2022 Platform Release Features
Multiple Perspectives
Simulate Data and Leverage Pricing Scenarios in Omnichannel Commerce with PROS Smart Price Optimization and Management
At PROS, we understand that B2B sales interactions are becoming increasingly digital, and businesses must prepare to serve their customers consistently across all channels. The latest update to PROS Smart Price Optimization and Management can help you accelerate your omnichannel strategies to develop, test, manage, and deploy multiple pricing optimization algorithms through a single pane of glass.
The new Multiple Perspectives capability is a launchpad for pricing and commercial teams to develop pricing strategies that align traditional negotiated sales interactions and eCommerce experiences where customers are delivered an optimized price point. Never has it been easier to rationalize and deliver optimized prices to provide consistent and exceptional customer experiences. For example, when using eCommerce channels, you can generate both negotiated and eCommerce prices for the same product and ensure that the website price is reflected higher than the negotiated discount.
This is an important step forward since simulation of data allows you to better rationalize pricing methods and accelerate omnichannel strategies. Benefits include:
- Allowing users to apply different sets of attributes, configurations, or even new PROS science modules
- Providing the ability to better leverage pricing scenarios, view multiple perspectives, and simulate recommendations before activating
- Enabling users to better optimize and enable omnichannel strategies
- Offering self-serve functionality that is intuitive and user-friendly
