Leading Independent Retailers Leverage Engage3 to Track their Competitive Price Position and Optimize Prices to Drive Traffic and Margin

DAVIS, Calif., July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engage3, which helps retailers and brands profitably grow revenue and drive store trips by tracking and optimizing their Price Image, today announced the launch of its Price Image Management Suite for Independent Grocers and Convenience Stores. The Engage3 PIM Platform helps independent retailers track their competitive price position on Center Store, Perishables, Private Label and Fuel and optimize prices to maximize traffic and margin. Leading independent retailers including, but not limited to: Woodman's Markets, Pyramid Foods, Carlie C's, Yesway, Village Beach Market, and others have all selected Engage3's Price Image Management Suite to help them monitor competitor's prices and optimize price to increase revenue.

Independent retailers face the same pricing pressures as national retailers, but due to budget constraints many have had to rely on using their own store personnel to collect competitive prices and intuition to set prices. Through the Engage3 Price Image Management Suite, Independent Retailers now have access to highly localized competitive prices that are refreshed as frequently as hourly for high velocity items like fuel. Advanced AI and ML combines the retailer's own data with rest of market competitive data to set optimized prices that maximize Price Image and drive increased traffic while protecting and growing margins.

Yesway, an independent Convenience Store chain, turned to Engage3 to track competitive fuel prices every hour to ensure competitive prices and to save their in-store associates' time. "In our competitive environment, speed and accuracy of data is essential. Engage3's Price Image Management Suite allows us to price retail with agility and confidence, raising us to an enhanced level of competitiveness and algorithmic pricing," said Darren Renwick, Sr. Fuel Procurement Manager.

"We are thrilled to be able to bring the industry's most complete competitive intelligence data and our next generation Price Optimization solution—that is proven to drive both trips and margin growth—to independent retailers," said Edris Bemanian CEO Engage3. "Independent Grocers and Convenience Stores face a highly competitive environment, and we are excited to partner with them to help level the insights playing field with world-class competitive pricing intelligence and advanced shopper-based price optimization models."
