What features should you look for in optimization software?

Real‑time data ingestion to reflect demand and inventory changes instantly. Scenario planning that lets teams compare “what‑if” outcomes before pushing prices live. Segment‑aware algorithms so high‑value cohorts aren’t lumped with price‑sensitive buyers. Explainable recommendations that show the factors behind each suggested price, aiding trust and compliance. API‑first architecture enables smooth hand‑offs to e‑commerce, POS, or billing systems. To add to that, strong role‑based controls keep finance and sales confident in every update.
