April 28, 2022 Jennifer Culbertson

The PROS Platform is continuously evolving to fulfill our vision of optimizing every shopping and selling experience. Innovation is core to our commitment to our customers and our Spring 2022 release includes new platform capabilities that accelerate time-to-value as well as improve overall user experience.

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

User Experience Enhancements

Several new updates to PROS Smart Configure Price Quote and PROS Smart Price Optimization and Management solutions improve the user experience, especially for Pricing and Sales Managers:

PROS Smart Price Optimization and Management

Price Analytics
Saving Chart Preferences - When business users are configuring analytics, they will now benefit from auto-saving features that ensure a better user experience and provide increased flexibility within the PROS Platform.
