New software is designed to helps consumer products and travel and transport companies maximise revenues and profits

New software is designed to helps consumer products and travel and transport companies maximise revenues and profits

 

Lixto Software, a web data extraction and analysis software developer, has announced the release of its new Price Intelligence Suite of solutions delivering real-time competitive price advantage for consumer products and the travel and transport industries.

 

The rise in consumer online purchasing has increased the need for solutions that provide a view of external market data to help companies maintain visibility of real-time market prices, according to the company. For example, a hotel chain that can track room rates offered by its various online resellers, including any bundled offerings such as free breakfast or parking, can dynamically adjust room pricing based on competitive and market conditions to maximise revenue. Lixto’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions provide companies with online pricing analysis to address these issues and help them gather real-time price intelligence from online channels to positively impact the bottom line.

 

SaaS offering to rival in-house systems

 

Lixto added that its new Price Intelligence Suite has been developed from previous products already available by the company, incorporating proven and new features to help provide better results and information on pricing. In addition, the SaaS-based Analytics Framework of the new solution is specifically designed to meet the business users’ demand for price operations, price analytics and price strategy.

 

“Working closely with some of our leading customers in consumer products and travel and transport over the last 12 months, we clearly observed the need for more “out of the box” views on competitive online data for Revenue, Pricing, Sales, Channel and Category Managers, as well for C-Level decision-makers,” said Christian Koestler, managing director of Lixto and executive vice president of North America. “The Lixto Price Intelligence Suite is designed to meet the needs of these business users and to focus on the job roles of our key customers within the organizations that deploy our solutions.”

 

“As price management and optimisation solutions become mission critical for conducting profitable business, offering up to date, accurate competitive information is a necessary prerequisite,” said Noha Tohamy vice president and head of research for Gartner.
