New Product Launch
You will introduce a new product to the market but has almost no idea what the price will be, right?
New Product Launch is for customers who want to protect their inventory or gain an advantage from the demand that a particular SKU has, resulting in profit maximization!
You can now set a target velocity for your SKUs, allowing you to set an initial price that will increase as your target sales velocity is reached. This will protect your inventory and increase your profits. Meanwhile, if the required velocity is achieved, the price of your SKU will gradually increase.
