HAVE A QUESTION?

Frequently Asked
Questions

Got a question? We're here to answer! If you don't see your question here, drop us a line on our Contact Page.

What about products that don't have competitors?

For such products, we carry out strategical inquiries with the company to decide on the most suitable course of action, e.g. cost-based pricing or elasticity based pricing, etc.

What if my competitors change their price very aggressively and I don’t want to follow?

In SYMSON you can set business rules (contraints) that limit price changes to for example max. 5% at a time. In this way, you stay in control of large price changes.

Are competitive prices limited to a particular country or region?

Not at all! SYMSON tracks, examines and compiles competitive pricing data from multiple countries and regions.

Can I also combine Competitor Pricing with other strategies?

Absolutely! You can assign multiple strategies to your product(s) in order to experiment and identify the ones that contribute the most to your business objectives.

Is the software fully in charge of the pricing or can I customise it and make changes myself?

Both options are possible. You can set up the strategy with custom distances to your main competitor(s). It is also possible to manually change the prices or overrule the advised prices of SYMSON. If you want to see this by yourself, please request a demo.

How can I find out whether Competitor Pricing is a suitable solution for my business?

The answer depends on your assortment. Do you have a lot of popular products or A-Brands which are offered by many vendors? Is the price a key factor for the customers' decision to choose your store? Then competitor pricing for these specific products might be a good solution to increase your pricing position and attractiveness in the market.
