Measure several factors in real-time

To implement the dynamic pricing model, companies need to track several internal and external factors simultaneously and in real-time. The factors include stock, shipping costs, competitor activity, consumer behavior, and more.

Possible risks

Competitor, consumer, and stock behavior can rapidly change, making tracking difficult.

How can we help?

With Oxylabs solutions, you can track several factors in real-time and stay on top of the competition.

Adjust to market demands

Having insight into the market's demands allows companies to set dynamic prices and maximize their profit. For example, businesses can detect when interest in a product (or service) surges and, strategically, increase the price at the time. 

Possible risks

Creating an effective pricing strategy without keeping track of competitors' prices is challenging.

How can we help?

Our solutions allow you to always maintain a competitive edge while detecting growing interest in products.

Get full control for supply and demand

A dynamic pricing strategy allows companies to manage product supply more effectively. For example, they can lower the prices for surplus products to sell them out quicker. In addition, companies can use historical data to analyze past trends and stock up products before peaks. 

Possible risks

Appropriately pricing surplus products may be difficult without a dedicated tool.

How can we help?

Use our solution to monitor your products to find what and when they should have their prices adjusted accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dynamic pricing?

Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy that allows businesses to set different goods or service prices based on market demands.

What are the different types of dynamic pricing methods?

There are several types of dynamic pricing strategies based on different factors: 

  • Group-based – offering discounts for specific groups – e.g., senior citizens;

  • Time-based – following demand fluctuations throughout the day and adjusting price accordingly; 

  • Cost-plus pricing – selling a product for more than it costs to make it;

  • Competitor based – analyzing your competitors’ pricing and adjusting your own accordingly; 

  • Value-based pricing– selling products for a price the company feels their customers are willing to pay; 

  • Price skimming – charging the maximum price that customers can afford, then gradually decreasing it.   

  • Bundle pricing strategy – grouping several products and selling them together instead of charging for them separately. 

  • Penetration pricing – a pricing method where a company offers lower product prices than their competitors – usually, upon entering the market – and raising it gradually. 

What is a dynamic pricing software?
