KANSAS CITY, Kansas - Following a quick 14-week installation, regional independent Ball's Food Stores yesterday went live with its new price optimization system and is modeling and executing the first cycle of pricing in key categories.
The retailer installed PriceStrat software, from Floram Park, N.J.-based KSS, to enable it to model and evaluate the effects of its regular and promotional prices on-demand.
