The objective of this project is to develop a price optimization model for products or services in the retail/e-commerce sector.
One way the model accomplishes this is through the analysis of historical sales data, demand forecasts, and market trends on how to achieve optimum pricing for maximum revenue and profitability. The results from this project will be key in providing actionable insights on optimum pricing decisions considering competitive pricing, customer segmentation, and market dynamics. This will undoubtedly be very instrumental to collaborate among data scientists with high levels of experience.
