Pricing Automation

Automated price management without spreadsheets

Pricing rules, automatic price list recalculation and margin alerts — react to changes in minutes, not days.

What is pricing automation

Prices that update themselves — on your terms

Pricing automation uses rules and algorithms to update sales price lists without manual intervention. Instead of recalculating hundreds of SKUs in a spreadsheet after every cost change — you define rules and the system runs the calculations automatically.

In e-commerce, pricing automation is essential. Purchase costs change daily, exchange rates fluctuate, competitors react. A company that updates price lists manually is always one step behind the market.

Price Engine automates the entire pricing cycle: from base price changes in ERP, through margin and price list recalculation, to publishing new prices across all channels. You define the rules and thresholds — the system enforces them 24/7.

Benefits

What you get with pricing automation in Price Engine

Automated pricing rules

Rules based on target margin, purchase price, category and sales channel. The system recalculates price lists on every input data change.

Instant reaction to cost changes

When ERP sends new purchase prices, Price Engine automatically updates sales price lists. In minutes, not days.

Margin and price alerts

Notifications when margin drops below threshold, price goes out of range or a rule needs manual decision. No change goes unnoticed.

Per-channel automation

Different pricing rules for online store, marketplace, B2B portal and traditional sales. One system, multiple strategies.

Price scheduling

Plan price changes ahead — weekend promotions, seasonal sales, quarterly increases. The system activates them automatically.

Safety thresholds

Minimum margin, maximum percentage change, limits per category. The system prevents changes that violate your rules.
