Optimizing Revenue with Dynamic Pricing Model Using ML
Pricing is a critical lever for maximizing revenue in any business, particularly in industries like shipping where customer conversion is closely tied to pricing strategies. Companies often struggle to determine the optimal price point that balances profitability with customer acquisition. Without a data-driven approach, setting prices can be arbitrary, leading to missed opportunities either through lost sales or under-pricing. A dynamic pricing model is essential to adapt to market conditions, customer behaviours, and competitive pressures in real-time.
