Benefits
According to studies, the retail industry experiences average pricing errors of 3.35 percent annually, while nearly 30 percent of stores had less than 98 percent price accuracy.

At a time when governments are becoming increasingly vigilant in prosecuting a retailer’s price violations, pricing errors can have a negative financial impact on business and potentially damage its brand.

Given the dynamic pricing in today’s modern retail stores, managing pricing at the shelf and the checkout is incredibly complex, potentially costing businesses customers and reputation.
