Price optimisation with Magento

Magento is an open source shopping system and addresses medium-size companies which want to pursue a sustainable online strategy with the help of a flexible software. The online shop software is regarded as the fastest growing e-commerce platform worldwide. Thanks to its comprehensive functions, its intuitive operation and search engine friendly program structure, it is very popular among both small and big online retailers.

Most of the retailers who use Magento for the creation and administration of their online shops, offer their products not only in their own shops. Their items are also supplied and sold on Price Comparison Websites like guenstiger.de or idealo.de as well as on online market places like Amazon, eBay and Google Shopping. Which retailer wins most clients over, is most commonly decided by the price. In order to react quickly to competitors’ price alterations, continuous price administration / control via the Magento retailer as well as price optimisation of the Magento shop is not only recommended, but absolutely necessary. Only this way can competitors be outdistanced and higher sales or higher margins be achieved.

For you as a Magento retailer, repricing is the most effective and most efficient solution for price optimisation. The term "repricing" refers to the automatic calculation of the sales price of an article based on the competitive situation. The term "dynamic pricing" - high-frequency price optimisation - is often used in this context. Here, prices are optimised on the basis of the competitive situation and user behaviour. With regard to eBay and Amazon, most Magento online retailers are already familiar with the topics of repricing and dynamic pricing. However, many do not know that they likewise carry many advantages with regard to Google Shopping and the various price comparison sites.

As a Magento online retailer, you need an intelligent repricing strategy to compete with the most influential marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon. This helps you to control the prices of your competitors on the one hand and to update your own prices so as to maximise profits on the other.

Daily price monitoring and manual price optimisation are very time-consuming and costly for Magento online retailers. Not only do prices of competitors on the different marketplaces and price comparison sites have to be checked, but also own prices must be adjusted. To make this work easier for you, we have developed the Pricemonitor - a repricing tool that is easily compatible with your Magento shop system.

With our repricing tool optimised for Magento systems, we make it easier for online shop operators to maintain optimised prices in order to meet competitors and marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay at eye level. Through the cooperation between Patagona and Magento and the release of the "Pricemonitor" Magento plug-in, the administration of your Magento shop alongside simultaneous repricing with the Pricemonitor can be made considerably more efficient.

The data exchange is made extremely easy via the plug-in. The articles to be optimised (including article characteristics, upper and lower price limits) are transmitted to the price monitor. The optimised prices are then sent back to the Magento shop system through the Repricing Tool. The plug-in for price monitoring is available in the Magento marketplace. Additionally, if yo

u work with an EMP or merchandise management system, we can transfer the optimised prices directly to the corresponding systems on request.Magento allows you to manage multiple shops on different domains. In addition, customers in the B2B area can also be offered various assortments. Just as multi-channel management with Magento works, so does multi-channel price control with the Repricing Tool. Different price groups for different channels/customer segments can also be created and controlled in the Pricemonitor.

The Pricemonitor makes it possible to monitor numerous other sales platforms and comparison portals in addition to Amazon and eBay. As a user, you can benefit from important market information and comprehensive competitive analyses and you can define your individual pricing strategies even more specifically.
