First Insight, the world leader in Next-Gen Experience Management (XM) for many of the world’s leading vertically integrated brands, department stores, consumer products companies, mass merchant retailers and wholesalers, today announced that it has been identified as a Representative Vendor in the 2022 “Gartner Market Guide for Retail Unified Price, Promotion and Markdown Optimization Applications – Short Life Cycle” report and the “Gartner Market Guide for Retail Unified Price, Promotion and Markdown Optimization Applications – Long Life Cycle” report. Gartner named First Insight as a Representative Vendor in Retail Unified Price, Promotion and Markdown Optimization Applications in Merchandising in both reports.

According to Gartner, “Now more than ever, UPPMO is a ‘must have’ business process for retailers of short life cycle products… For short life cycle retailers in particular, pricing is no longer just an art. To maintain healthy profits, pricing must also be approached as a science. This is why retail CIOs must leverage the preciseness and capability of AI-driven UPPMO applications.”
