It is not surprising that hardly any other topic is as interesting for retail companies as the use of science-based price optimisation solutions. This is because these solutions not only take the retailers\u2019 competition into account, but also their customers, by taking price elasticities into account &#8211; calculated from the historical sales data in the retailers&#8217; data warehouses.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Retailers improve their price image<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By using price optimisation solutions, however, retail companies also have the opportunity to improve their price image in a targeted manner against their competitors. This is mainly due to the fact that with such solutions, Key Value Items (KVI&#8217;s) can be identified better &#8212; daily use articles for which customers are familiar with the price and hence \u00a0instinctively know if an item is reasonably priced or expensive.<\/p>\n<p>A grocery retail group that recently implemented a sophisticated price optimisation solution is Rimi Baltic. The company, which belongs to the Swedish ICA Gruppen, operates about 280 hyper- and supermarkets as well as convenience stores in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It is currently implementing several step-by-step, state-of-the-art optimisation solutions across its business as part of the ICA Group transformation programme, aiming to adopt a more data-driven approach to all decision making.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Live in less than a year<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In January 2019, Rimi Baltic decided to implement AI-powered pricing from Revionics, a company recently acquired by Aptos. The decision was supported by the good results that RIMIs sister company, Apotek Hjartat achieved with Revionics. After shifting the pricing for the first product categories into the price optimisation solution in March 2019, it took RIMI Baltic less than a year to complete the project.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4520ec0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4520ec0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1800d80\" data-id=\"1800d80\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-894d530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"894d530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/revionics.com\/report\/pricing-strategies-to-create-loyalty-and-profitability\/?utm_source=retailoptimiser&#038;utm_medium=media_publication\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get your copy of the report \"Pricing Strategies to Create Loyalty and Profitability\" here for free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19cda02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19cda02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cOur goal was to bring the customer dimension into the pricing decision\u201d, explains M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 \u0136ezberis, Promo and Pricing Manager at RIMI Baltic. Before the project, only competitor prices were used to make rules-based pricing changes. \u00a0Now, the price optimisation solution from Revionics takes the price elasticity for each item into account based on two-years of historical data. \u00a0The tool also considers how relevant the price of a specific item is for the shopper when a price change is recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>Better results than expected<\/h3>\n<p>Bringing this customer dimension into the pricing helped to improve the results significantly. \u201cWe were definitely able to increase sales with Revionics\u201d, says \u0136ezberis: \u201cAnd the increase was higher than we had projected in our business case.\u201d Nevertheless, \u0136ezberis doesn\u2019t want to quantify the results publicly as the effects of the lockdown make this year\u2019s results in general very hard to compare with previous years.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49258e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"49258e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/11\/RIMI_Liepaja_Ostmala_s-38-1024x682.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3446\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/11\/RIMI_Liepaja_Ostmala_s-38-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/11\/RIMI_Liepaja_Ostmala_s-38-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/11\/RIMI_Liepaja_Ostmala_s-38-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/retail-optimiser.de\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2020\/11\/RIMI_Liepaja_Ostmala_s-38.jpg.webp 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Is the price difference right between the price entry item and the brand?

In the first step, the retailer switched its rule-based pricing to the software-as-a-service platform category by category. This was completed after just four months. Only then, RIMI Baltic implemented the price elasticity-based pricing category by category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlready the first step, in which we implemented the rules in Revionics, helped us to get a better grip on our pricing\u201d, \u0136ezberis explains. The project forced the team to set category-based rules which was different to their previous approach. Also, some logical mistakes in the old rules were identified and corrected. One example, \u0136ezberis mentions, is that the different package size of shampoos and conditioners were not taken into account using the old rules. Also, the team identified that for some private label price entry products such as a plain chocolate bar, the standard 20% off from the benchmarked branded item was not sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>The hardest part of the project, says \u0136ezberis, was to load the two-years-history of sales data from the SAP Business Warehouse into the new pricing platform. But also here, the project team from Revionics was very dedicated and helped significantly in making it happen in time, \u0136ezberis explains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In less than a year, Rimi Baltic, a grocery retailer belonging to the Swedish ICA Group, has switched its pricing to the optimisation solution from Revionics, a pricing specialist recently acquired by Aptos.
