The Challenge In Pricing

SP has online sales in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, and stores in Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Malmö and Borås. Therefore, handling pricing consistency across all these regions and channels is a challenge. This also poses a problem with volume and complexity which needed to be automated as well as accurate and error-free.

They also wanted to be able to plan their discounts and promotions throughout the year and automate this process.

Since they operate in multiple countries it was of utmost importance to be compliant with the legal pricing requirements of each country when pricing.

Why Scandinavian Photo Chose SYMSON

SYMSON had the capabilities to handle the complexities of working across geographical regions, being compliant with local pricing regulations and accounting for pricing differences across the region.
