AI-supported price optimization: How the MDM Booster automatically optimizes complex purchasing combinations

Operational purchasing faces complex decision-making problems every day: Which combination of Incoterms, payment terms, delivery time, purchasing organization and order quantity leads to the optimal price? With hundreds of possible parameter combinations, a manual check is practically impossible – the valuable time of experienced purchasers is precious.

The challenge of modern purchasing organizations

Current McKinsey studies show: AI can increase sales by up to 20% and reduce operating costs by 15 to 20%. Nevertheless, traditional methods often determine day-to-day work in purchasing. Typical problems in day-to-day purchasing:

Time-consuming manual price comparisons of different parameter combinations
Lack of data quality
Suboptimal purchasing decisions due to incomplete data analysis
Missed savings potential in complex contract negotiations
High workload for recurring optimization tasks

Sweet spot analysis in retail

An online electronics retailer wants to increase its revenue through optimized and dynamic pricing. Until now, sales were forecasted using traditional statistical methods, and selling prices were calculated using contribution margin analysis. Price adjustments were made two to three times a year – but due to a lack of resources, only for selected product categories.

The challenge

In order to maximize sales in retail, it is crucial to find the optimal price for a product. This price is where the product is neither too expensive nor too cheap – total sales should be maximized without sacrificing profits.
The products have a variety of properties and the company sells a wide range of products
Traditional methods only offer limited optimization options for increasing sales

Solution: AI-supported recommendations for the optimal price

An AI model, individually trained with the MDM Booster, analyzes all information on product features, the competition, and current events. Optimal pricing recommendations for each individual item are provided in real time. The ROI increased by a factor of 2.9 within eight months.

Through AI-powered sweet spot analysis, the company was able to improve the conversion rate, increase revenue per customer, and boost profits through dynamic pricing adjustments. If suitable [products/services] are also used, the company can improve the conversion rate, increase revenue per customer, and boost profits through dynamic pricing. Product recommendations are displayed (based on, for example, collaborative filtering or neural networks), so the noticeably increase the average shopping cart value once again.

Further examples

Area of application: Any industry

Maximization and minimization functions can be used to support operational decisions in purchasing and warehousing – often with the goal of optimizing costs. AI models can be easily adapted to take into account, for example, discounts, seasonal and regional fluctuations, or different types of storage.

Area of application: Budget planning

Optimal allocation of the budget to different departments and projects so that the expected contribution to company profits is maximized or liquidity requirements are minimized (target function = maximize or minimize).
AI-based sweet spot analysis, as a variant of classic operations research, supports you with the following tasks:
Optimal budget decision
Targeted use of resources
Transparency and traceability of decisions

Area of application: Supply chain management, logistics optimization

A company operates several branches and wants to find out at which locations storage centers should be set up in order to minimize transport costs – while at the same time ensuring short delivery times to the branches. This task is known as the facility location problem (location optimization)
The MDM Booster’s Sweet Spot Finder helps you find the optimal number and position of storage locations – with the goal of:
to be able to reliably supply all stores
Minimize the total costs (transport + warehouse operation)

Further use cases

Break-even point

The so-called break-even point provides information about from which sales volume or revenue an investment becomes profitable.

Through the clear separation into Fixed and variable costs enable the analysis of well-founded decisions regarding pricing, production quantities, or product design. Break-even analysis is particularly useful in the planning phase of new products or business models. Economic risks are identified early and optimal scenarios are calculated.

With the Sweet Spot Finder of the MDM Booster, break-even analysis can be carried out quickly, efficiently and clearly even with more complex structures – as a valuable basis for strategic decisions.

Tour optimization

The aim is to plan, delivery or service routes in such a way as to minimize costs, time and emissions while still meeting all customer requirements.

While classical OR methods such as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) calculate mathematically optimal routes based on fixed parameters, AI-supported systems such as the MDM Booster enable dynamic, learning route planning. They take into account, for example, real-time traffic data, weather, short-term changes, or driver behavior.

By combining both approaches, travel times can be reduced, capacity utilization improved and service quality increased – a real efficiency gain for logistics, field service and delivery services.

Energy consumption optimization

Optimizing energy consumption is a key lever for reducing costs and achieving sustainability goals. Modern companies rely on a combination of Operations Research and artificial intelligence (AI) to efficiently control their energy use.

Operations Research enables model-based optimization of production processes, machine runtimes or load shifts – for example through mathematical models that minimize energy use depending on time, capacity utilization and electricity tariffs.

The MDM Booster analyzes large amounts of consumption and environmental data in real time, recognizes patterns and forecasts energy demands. This makes it possible, for example, to avoid peak loads, to control systems proactively or to preferentially use renewable energy sources.

The result: lower energy costs, greater transparency and an active contribution to CO₂ reduction – data-driven and automated.
