Frequently asked questions
Can I start with Competitive Data and upgrade later to Pricing Platform?
Yes. Competitive Data, Adaptive AI, and Contextual AI share one workspace and one data foundation. Retailers can start with competitive price monitoring and move to price-led or demand-led optimization when ready. Data, configuration, and team capability carry forward at every step.
How long does implementation take?
Competitive Data is live within 14 days. Pricing Platform implementation (Adaptive AI or Contextual AI) takes up to 60 days depending on scope. Scaling to a new channel takes approximately 1 week.
What historical data is required?
Adaptive AI requires a minimum of 3 months of transaction history to start. Contextual AI requires 24 months. For Competitive Data, retailers must supply a product catalog with full titles, URLs, brands, categories, and at least one identifier (GTIN, EAN, MPN, UPC) to activate match quality SLAs.
What is the difference between Adaptive AI and Contextual AI?
Adaptive AI uses a statistical engine based on price elasticity with smart segmentation and a no-code rule builder; right for organizations wanting automated pricing grounded in defined rules. Contextual AI uses a neural network analyzing 20+ demand factors; right for organizations where pricing logic has grown too complex for rules alone and prefer outcome-based steering.
Does Competera offer pilots?
Yes. Every engagement begins with a pilot and commercial KPIs are agreed upfront before the pilot starts. Competera has a 100% pilot success rate across its client base of 50+ international retailers.
