Abstract:

The case discusses the implementation of price optimization software at Northern Group Retail, a major clothing and accessories retailer based in Toronto, Canada. The Northern Group was experiencing a decline in performance due to its pricing strategy, which followed nation-wide pricing rather than zonal pricing.

Due to this, the company was not tuned-in to local conditions and implemented the prices uniformly. This led to the company losing out on substantial revenues by implementing mark-downs in places where the goods had the potential to sell at full price.

Issues:

• To understand the critical nature of pricing strategy, especially in the retail sector.

• To compare zonal pricing strategy with uniform pricing strategy and analyze the suitability of each in different situations.
