Retailers need the ability to use automated insights to understand what factors influence customer demand, as well as how to use that data to determine their pricing strategies. Blue Yonder’s Luminate Pricing Lifecycle, powered by AI/ML, understands the influencing factors and makes optimal pricing decisions across the product lifecycle.

The edge-connected shelf solution, Luminate Merchandising Edge, is the starting point of this Smart Store journey, and is unique in that it already consolidates the five individual microservices: electronic shelf labels, optimised shelf replenishment, out-of-stock detection, planogram compliance and dynamic pricing.
