TITLE: Practical Applications of Applied Science in Retailing

ABSTRACT:

Dr. Geoffrey M. Pofahl will discuss his transition from conducting applied science in academia to applied science in the retail industry. He will touch on topics that are often explored in academia but not easily scalable when building a software solution such as Revionics’ SaaS-based Life Cycle Price Optimization solutions, which offer retailers sophisticated, scalable solutions to optimize the planning, execution and effectiveness measurement of price, promotion and markdown strategies and tactics. Revionics’ optimization process integrates internal and external data, business rules and operational constraints with price image, category roles and intents and strategic and financial objectives. This enables retailers to rapidly adapt their life cycle pricing strategies and tactics to constantly changing shopper and competitor behavior.

During this presentation, he will also discuss research topics that his team at Revionics is currently exploring, including competitive response analysis, item-level demand transference, use of attributes to forecast early life-cycle demand, and more.
