ALPHARETTA, Ga. — November 29, 2022 — Revionics, an Aptos Company and provider of retail pricing, promotion, markdown and advanced analytics solutions, announced today that Apulia Distribuzione will deploy Revionics’ Base Price Optimization solution.

Founded in 2001 by brothers Antonio and Massimo Sgaramella, Apulia collaborates with major brands in the wholesale sector.

Specifically, Apulia now owns and operates over 200 Carrefour-branded stores in the regions of Puglia, Campania, Calabria, Basilicata and Sicily.
“Under the Carrefour banner, we operate Carrefour Hypermarkets, Carrefour Market Supermarkets and Carrefour Express locations,” said Massimo Loporchio, CIO at Apulia Distribuzione. “With a variety of formats as well as an expanding assortment and geographic presence, we have added a significant level of complexity to our business. With this growth, we needed to modernize our approach to price management.”
To optimize and scale its pricing function, Apulia selected Revionics’ advanced and fast-learning AI pricing solution that can streamline and automate pricing decisions across locations, products and formats. The tool will allow Apulia to improve consumer price perception, increase market share and outprice competitors with confidence.
“Adoption of the most innovative technologies that can help delight our customers and elevate business performance is an essential part of our strategy,” added Loporchio. “We have a high degree of confidence in the Revionics pricing platform, the science behind it and the retail pricing expertise of the Revionics team.
