Automated Pricing Orchestration for a Leading Retail Chain
Challenge:
A major retail chain faced critical issues in its pricing operations:
- Lack of AI-driven pricing intelligence limited the ability to respond to market trends, demand changes, and optimize pricing decisions in real time.
- All price changes were done manually, resulting in delays, human errors, and inefficiencies.
- No real-time responsiveness to market shifts and promotions.
- Needed a scalable, automated, and AI-assisted pricing engine.
Solution:
Integrated AI-based pricing insights and demand analysis to enable dynamic, real-time, and data-driven price optimization.
OKRUTI engineered an automated pricing orchestration engine using microservices and event-driven architecture.
Key solution highlights:
– AI-powered models analyze sales and demand patterns to recommend optimal pricing strategies in real time.
– Microservices Architecture: Built using Java & Spring Boot for high scalability, modularity, and robust performance.
– Real-Time Event Processing: Integrated Apache Kafka for real-time event-driven updates across all retail outlets.
– Rule-Based Automation: Developed a logic-driven rules engine for dynamic price adjustments aligned with business policies.
– Redis Caching: Implemented Redis for high-speed caching and instant price data retrieval, improving computation speed.
– Fully Automated Workflow: Eliminated manual intervention by automating the entire pricing process end-to-end.
The new system ensured seamless execution in price updates without any manual intervention and in turn better accuracy of the prices.
Results achieved:
✔ AI-enabled pricing optimization improved accuracy, responsiveness, and revenue efficiency.
✔ Automated Price Adjustments: Real-time dynamic pricing based on market conditions and demand.
✔ Improved Accuracy & Transparency: Reduced human errors and ensured consistent pricing across channels..
