PriceCast Fuel allows you to manage the price of each product at each individual station. Strategies may differ between sites in your network but the state-of-the-art technology will monitor site performance against your KPIs, modifying the strategy and adjusting the parameters accordingly.
Rule-based
The traditional choice when the strategy is to base pricing decisions on a number of fixed rules. Different rules can be added and configured for different stations and products. An example of this simple, yet effective pricing strategy is to always remain the low-price leader in the market. PriceCast Fuel amends the price automatically when competitors adjust their prices to ensure the objectives of the strategy are achieved.
Restricted AI
This allows you to follow the competition within a variable spread. The strategy could be to allow a spread around your competitor’s pricing of plus or minus x cent per litre. PriceCast Fuel will then find the optimum price whilst also considering other strategy objectives such as to never be more expensive than the competition, whilst also achieving volume and margin targets.
Advanced-AI
Advanced-AI brings multi-objective optimisation to the station and product level. Though state-of-the-art artificial neural networks and self-learning algorithms a predictive AI model is trained for each station based on customer purchasing behaviour as well as competitor pricing strategies and other data sources such as weather, traffic, license plates etc. This ensures a truly customer-centric approach to pricing that continuously predicts the best possible price to reach your volume and margin goals.
