Revionics Expands its Retailer Footprint in Latin America with the Addition of Drogaria Araujo

AUSTIN, Texas, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Drogaria Araujo, a longtime Brazilian drugstore pioneer with more than 160 stores in Minas Gerais, has selected Revionics Price Suite, Revionics Promotion Suite and Analytics Services to deliver powerful value proposition and compelling, profitable offers for its customers.

A beloved Minas Gerais brand since 1906, Drogaria Araujo is known for being a bold market innovator: it was the first company in Brazil to open a drugstore, the first to offer 24-hour service, the first to provide home delivery and the first to offer drive-through services. That spirit of customer-focused innovation led Araujo to seek world-class price and promotion management and optimization capabilities.

Using Revionics® Price Suite and Advanced Analytics including Key Value Item Analysis, Store Zone Clustering, Competitive Response Analysis and Item Strategy Position Analysis, Araujo is replacing its legacy price optimization as it seeks to be more responsive to fast-changing customer, market and competitive trends while enhancing its brand image and driving top-line sales.

In addition, the company is also implementing Revionics Promotion Suite and Promotion Performance Analysis to gain analytical insights into its promotions, providing customers with targeted offers while protecting gross margins and profits.

"In the midst of a slowing economy and rising inflation, it is more important than ever to offer our customers a competitive price image and create more localized, profitable promotions," said Bruno Araujo, Commercial Director at Drogaria Araujo. "Our rigorous search for a platform to execute customer-centric pricing strategies with precision, zone-based segmentation and a more dynamic approach to price and promotion management led us straight to Revionics."

"Drogaria Araujo holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Minas Gerais, and we are honored to forge a partnership with this market innovator to deliver mineiros targeted, value-focused pricing and promotions on the items they love," said Revionics CEO Marc H. Hafner. "With the addition of Araujo, we continue to expand our footprint in Latin America, bringing proven solutions to a dynamic and rapidly evolving region. We're pleased to see the importance of pricing and promotions and the impact it can have on the company's overall business performance and margins."
