Case Study: Ace Hardware improves margins, pricing, and customer loyalty with Numerator Pricing Intel

Ace Hardware improved margins, pricing and customer loyalty with Numerator Pricing Intel

Ace Hardware, the world’s largest hardware retail cooperative, needed a better way to manage competitive pricing across 90,000 products in multiple regional markets. Its manual matching process was error-prone, data was sometimes up to a month old, zone pricing wasn’t supported, and the company lacked visibility into private label pricing. To solve these issues, Ace selected Numerator and its Pricing Intel solution.

Numerator Pricing Intel gave Ace Hardware accurate regional and zone-based competitive pricing data, stronger exact and like-product matching, and visibility into competitors’ private label assortments. As a result, Numerator increased exact and like matches by 200% across regional markets, helping Ace make more profitable zone-based pricing decisions, improve margins and store conversions, and strengthen customer loyalty through better local pricing.
