360pi To Help True Value Company Save Costs And Stay Competitive

360pi to provide competitive pricing intelligence for exact and like products in hundreds of regional zones

360pi, the leader in retail price and product intelligence, recently announced it welcomes True Value Company into their growing family of high profile retailer clients. True Value, operating in thousands of communities through a number of store brands, is one of the world’s largest retailer-owned hardware cooperatives. Localized value proposition, exceptional service, and quality products make up the recipe to success of this home improvement giant, totalling nearly $2B in gross billings.

The home renovation market is a complex landscape of national and private brands as well as unbranded products. 360pi will provide True Value with competitive pricing intelligence spanning 50,000 branded and unbranded products over hundreds of regional zones. This improved visibility into the competitive landscape will help True Value keep and increase its competitive edge within local markets and drive conversions and revenue.

Following an extensive bidding process, True Value selected to replace their existing solution with the 360price and 360comparables products based on an excellent industry reputation and 360pi’s experience working with private labels and pricing zones.

“360pi understands our business and were able to provide the insights we need, when we need them,” said Ken Goodgame, senior vice president and chief merchandising officer at True Value. “360pi helps our category managers make timely and well-informed pricing decisions. We are now even better positioned to play in the highly competitive and localized home renovations market.”

“True Value is an innovative and dynamic company and we are honored to be selected to be a part of their success story,” said Alexander Rink, CEO of 360pi. “In the increasingly price transparent and omnichannel home renovation market, True Value has made an important step by empowering their team with timely and profitable competitive insights.”
