Overall price index to estimate pricing positioning in the market

Price index for a product is calculated as the ratio of competitor’s offer price to retailer’s offer price. An index value less than 100 indicates availability of cheaper competitor offers in the market and vice versa. The following chart shows flyer competitiveness of retailer XYZ against 5 other competitors for a particular week.

In above scenario, competitor B, C and E are outperforming retailer XYZ with their promo prices.

Price index at SKU level to check competitiveness of each offer

An overall price index analysis at SKU level is also available which highlights the count of competitor offers which are being promoted at a better price (shown against “Low” indicator). 

Offer details

In the above scenario, to further deep dive, retailer XYZ can view the offer level details along with offer images from the actual flyers. The offer level data can also be exported into an excel file for further analysis.
