Oracle Price Analytics

Oracle BI Business Intelligence Application Software : Oracle Price Analytics

Critical pricing decisions are made every day that affect the ultimate profitability of an enterprise. Often, analysts and managers are forced to determine prices and discounts with limited information, guessing at what price the customer will pay or using the most recent customer price as the basis for the next price. Oracle Price Analytics enables users to make insight-driven pricing decisions, to measure pricing effectiveness and to take improvement actions, informed by consistent data and the right business context. Users are armed with visibility into a single consolidated view of profitability and simple-but-sophisticated analytic tools and alerts.
