Pricefx vs. Sku Grid

Well suited: [Situations] where prices can be pre-calculated and cached (especially B2B), CPQ Needs improvements: real-time capabilities[.]

Incentivized

Sku Grid does job very well at what it is supposed to do -- monitoring suppliers and syncing changes over to marketplaces. They have some features that are not as useful, like Buy Box Owner, but maybe in the future we will start using it.

• Integration of external data[.]
• Pre-calculation of prices based on an customized algorithm[.]
• Simulation and forecasting of volumes and revenue[.]

Incentivized

• Monitoring price & stock change at a wide variety of suppliers, from Amazon to small stores.
• Updating price & stock data at eBay just when the price was updated over at the supplier.
• Letting us do a lot of customizations and configure repricing rules the way we want them to be.

• Stability and reliability[.]
• Performance
• User Experience (steep learning curve)[.]

Incentivized

• Custom support is the main issue -- they need more people.

We have tried DSM Tool, AutoDS, Salefreaks -- they all seem very simple, but their functionality is simple as well, perhaps not enough for advanced users. Sku Grid has a sharp learning curve, but it is far more advanced and more reliable.

• Subscription model to decrease up-front cost[.]
• Increase in online ratio of bookings[.]

Incentivized

• While using it, we have increased the number of sales that we have over at eBay.
