PHILADELPHIA -- Sunoco Inc. has selected PROS, a leading pricing and revenue management software provider, as its pricing technology partner to improve its ability to streamline and process data in increasingly volatile market conditions for its branded and unbranded rack-fuels business.
"Our goal is to automate and optimize our pricing strategies to provide more timely and consistent service to our customers," said Sunoco pricing manager Neil Duffy. "We conducted an extensive evaluation of pricing software providers and selected PROS on the basis of its prescriptive pricing [image-nocss] capabilities, their depth of understanding about our business and a long track record of success in our industry."
"With pricing volatility in fuels and chemicals, companies face the challenge of making timely, accurate and consistent pricing decisions to serve customers," said PROS chief sales officer Chris Jones. "We're proud to add Sunoco to our customer portfolio and look forward to helping them better serve their customers and achieve their business goals."
Sunoco will deploy PROS Scientific Analytics, PROS Price Optimizer and PROS Deal Optimizer software modules, which comprise the complete PROS Pricing Solution Suite. The three modules seamlessly work together to support the company's pricing lifecycles, from identifying pricing opportunities, to setting pricing strategies and executing optimized prices.
