The primary benefit of price optimization is the ability to optimize pricing strategies to enhance overall business performance by setting prices in a way that maximizes business objectives, such as revenue, profit, or market share. By optimizing prices, businesses can drive growth, enhance profitability, and stay competitive in the market. By quantifying both promoted and non-promoted demand elasticity, businesses can stimulate demand during slower periods or manage excess inventory by offering discounts. Similarly, during higher demand periods, pricing optimization can reduce the likelihood of products going out of stock, improve inventory turnover, and minimize holding costs.

The process of price optimization involves gathering and analyzing vast amounts of data. This provides valuable insights into customer behavior, category dynamics, overall market trends, and the effectiveness of pricing and promotional strategies. By leveraging advanced analytics, businesses can make data-driven pricing decisions, identify pricing opportunities, and respond quickly to changing market conditions which can be especially relevant during high inflationary periods (Consumer Price Index).
