What is it?
Index pricing sets your price as a deliberate percentage relationship to a reference price (usually a key competitor, market average, or own historical price). An index of 100 means price parity; 95 means 5% below; 110 means 10% above. It enables consistent, scalable competitive positioning across large product catalogs.
Real-World Example
A grocery retailer sets a pricing rule: Private label products should always be priced at an index of 80 (20% below) national brand equivalents. For 10,000 SKUs, this rule automates positioning at scale.
How It Works
Competitive pricing intelligence is gathered through systematic price monitoring: automated web scraping, marketplace data feeds, and retail price databases. The data is cleaned, matched to your own catalog, and analyzed to reveal your price position relative to competitors at the SKU level.
Key Benefits
Real-time visibility into competitor pricing moves
Enables rapid, data-driven repricing decisions
Identifies products where you are overpriced or underpriced
Supports MAP compliance monitoring and enforcement
Risks and Considerations
Competitive intelligence is only as useful as the speed at which you can act on it. Slow repricing cycles, poor data quality, or lack of catalog matching accuracy can negate the benefit.
