(NASDAQ:GDYN) (Grid Dynamics), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation services and solutions, announced today it is releasing a new Pricing and Promotion Optimization Starter Kit.

The Price Optimization Starter Kit provides a reference pipeline that includes the following steps:
- Data preparation . Sales and catalog data are loaded and transformed in a format suitable for downstream modeling.
- Demand forecasting . The demand forecasting model is used to evaluate the demand for different pricing scenarios.
- Demand analysis . The dependencies captured by the demand forecasting model are visualized to provide insights into the demand structure.
- Price and promotion optimization . The forecasting model is evaluated for a grid of pricing parameters, and profit-optimal prices are determined for each combination of an SKU and date.
