About the Client
The client is a leading food and beverage industry player based out of the Netherlands. The F&B manufacturing company wanted to leverage competitive pricing analysis to analyze the pricing strategies adopted by its competitors and deploy suitable pricing analytics models to tackle the pricing challenges currently faced by them.
In a bid to optimize such pricing strategies, the client decided to connect with our experts after a recommendation from another industry veteran.
Competitive Pricing Analytics Challenges
The ever-changing business landscape, growing competition, and changing customer preferences were among the core challenges facing the food and beverage company. To tackle such challenges the client wanted to redesign their competitive pricing strategy and revenue management capability. They approached Quantzig to leverage its competitive pricing analysis solutions to develop and implement a robust pricing strategy to bolster the value and impact of product pricing. Despite being one among the top companies in different product categories, the food and beverage manufacturer was known for making price changes based on market dynamics and price shifts. Using such an approach to price products gave rise to a turbulent pricing structure across products and channels, due to which they failed to unlock the true value of their offerings.

Although the company had deployed sophisticated pricing analytics models, it lacked the analytics capabilities and holistic competitive pricing analysis framework to analyze those data sets. Also, it’s crucial to note that most of their pricing challenges stemmed from their segmented operational structure, which meant that business units often made pricing decisions independently, sometimes resulting in cannibalization within the portfolio. The company not only looked to solve its pricing challenges but also to achieve a pricing advantage by leveraging competitive pricing analysis to better manage the price of its offerings.
