Engage3 Price Image Management is a pricing intelligence platform designed to help retailers understand and actively manage how their prices are perceived by consumers relative to competitors. Instead of focusing solely on individual price points, the platform evaluates overall price perception across products, categories, and competitors. The solution combines competitive pricing data with analytics models to calculate price image scores. These scores reflect how shoppers are likely to perceive a retailer’s pricing position, such as low‑priced, competitive, or premium. This allows pricing teams to align pricing actions with strategic positioning goals rather than reacting to isolated price changes. Price Image Management supports ongoing pricing governance by monitoring perception shifts over time. It enables retailers to assess the impact of pricing decisions, identify perception gaps at category or item level, and maintain consistency between intended pricing strategy and customer perception across markets and channels.
