We recognized the immediate business value of 360pi’s MAP alert functionality, which literally identified dozens of violations for a single brand upon implementation, and kept a history for future reference.
(PRWEB) October 19, 2015
Ottawa, Canada: 360pi, the leader in product intelligence, today announced that CPO Commerce has joined their growing client list of retail innovators. CPO Commerce’s core business is the creation and operation of ecommerce sites on behalf of tool brand manufacturers. At present, it runs 45+ online outlet stores including CPO Bosch, CPO DeWalt, and CPO Milwaukee. With this strategy, CPO Commerce has emerged as America’s leading online tool retailer, and is the industry leader in factory reconditioned parts.
Earlier this year, CPO Commerce selected Revionics as their price optimization vendor and was looking for an accurate, reliable source of price and product intelligence to power this solution. “We recognize that the value of price optimization is only as good as the underlying data, and with refurbs a core part of our business, accurate product matching can be extremely difficult,” said Girisha Chandraraj, SVP, Chief Digital Officer at Essendant and Chief Operating Officer for CPO Commerce. “360pi stood out from all the vendors we evaluated for their express focus on product matching, and their proven data accuracy. As well, with their demonstrated commitment to responsiveness, it was evident that 360pi was uniquely committed to integrating with our existing back office environment, notably Revionics.”
In addition to integrating seamlessly with their existing price optimization solution, CPO Commerce was seeking assistance with MAP monitoring, as this condition applies to approximately 20% of the brands they sell on their sites. “Effective MAP monitoring can be extremely elusive with differential in-cart pricing that can change at any time,” stated Chandraraj. “We recognized the immediate business value of 360pi’s MAP alert functionality, which literally identified dozens of violations for a single brand upon implementation, and kept a history for future reference.”
“We are honored that CPO Commerce has entrusted us to underpin their price optimization, and to support their brand partners with accurate MAP reporting,” said Alexander Rink, CEO, 360pi. “We look forward to delivering the increased revenue and margin results, and high level of service, for which 360pi has become known.”
