Fashion retailer InterSport Krumholz achieves a clear and significant boost to profits and revenues by leveraging predictive pricing

Company Overview

Founded in 1949, INTERSPORT Krumholz has been at the forefront of the German sports fashion industry for over 70 years. The company sells both online and offline, with an extensive e-commerce store as well as 5 physical outlets: Mayen, 2x in Mülheim-Kärlich, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, and Bad Homburg.

Challenges

  1. INTERSPORT Krumholz has a large assortment of goods which makes price setting more difficult. Data sources for these products must first be aligned between the subsidiary and the parent company.
  2. The company had to align multiple data sources, which meant a lot of manual work and some of the available data was not being fully utilised. This can lead to sub-optimal prices and a lack of consistency. Manual price setting also causes a loss in productivity.
  3. To make use of all available data and maximize profits on their extensive product portfolio, INTERSPORT Krumholz required a predictive pricing solution that could not only aggregate their various data sources, but also automate their pricing decisions.

Solution

  • The results in this case were clear and significant. During A/B testing, profit and revenue started to increase significantly for
    the test group right after the first price upload.
  • By the end of the A/B test, the test group had a 52% revenue and 118% profit advantage compared to the control groups.
  • The 7Learnings predictive pricing solution was able to achieve significant margin increases without causing any loss of sales.
  • Manual pricing work decreased significantly, as the 7Learnings solution enabled INTERSPORT Krumholz to optimize prices easily with just a few clicks.
