CPG companies must consider pricing as a core competency within the organization and deploy pricing analytics to assist their retail partners in establishing the best retail price. CPG and retail companies must partner with specialist solutions providers with deep industry knowledge, and the expertise and experience of establishing and running pricing analytics Center of Excellence (COE).
