Upscale Mid-West Chain Will Deploy Competitive Intelligence Management to Enhance Their Pricing Visibility and ML-Fueled Product Linking Capabilities
Engage3 has partnered with Heinen’s, an upscale Mid-West grocery chain with stores in Ohio and Illinois, to expand their omni-channel competitive visibility and analytics with Engage3’s Competitive Intelligence Management (CIM) solution.
CIM will allow Heinen’s to achieve the most comprehensive competitive pricing visibility, while leveraging its ML-powered product linking capabilities to attain a contextualized view of their competitors’ equivalent items at the localized market level.
“In our search for a SaaS competitive pricing partner, Engage3 was the clear frontrunner. They had all of the capabilities that we were looking for to execute our pricing strategy and we believe their private label matching capabilities will be superior to our previous partner’s.”
