What:  A co-ed article on dynamic geo retail pricing.


Why is it important: Even though this article is simply reminding the interest of such an approach to pricing, this is a topic we believe at IADS is key and could be providing strong benefits in terms of margin coherence for its members having at the same time flagship in Tier 1 cities and regions.


The example of the Covid-19 pandemic showed that, in a moment when consumer behavior is fragmenting per region or zone, the ability to adjust prices in real-time according to the region is becoming key. Revionics SVP is showing the example of retailers able to react according to the local data they collect and adjust in real-time prices, promotions, and marketing to customers.

This should be therefore an incentive for retailers to follow the same strategy and be able to be dynamically responsive.
