Competera, an AI-powered pricing platform helping retailers set and maintain optimal price positions, was recognized as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Short and Long Lifecycle Market Guides for Retail Unified Price, Promotion and Markdown Optimization Applications this year.
According to Gartner, 'An algorithmic retailing approach must be widely implemented throughout the organization and supported by a strong foundation of quality data. As such, it's imperative that retailers continue to invest in UPPMO¹ technologies to support deeper segmentation capability and preperiod planning, develop more consistent and comprehensive pricing policies, improve customer loyalty and prepare for real-time pricing².
