Furniture and decoration pricing: setting the right price on products that are difficult to compare

By matching similar rather than identical products based on their characteristics, product matching analyzes product descriptions and features (dimensions, material, number of seats, style) and compares your products to their competitor equivalents. Each match is assigned a confidence score validated by your team, allowing you to position your prices even without an exact match. The product matching entry in the glossary explains the principle in detail.

By recommending a markdown level per product rather than a single rate for all. With markdown and clearance , the platform takes into account stock levels, sales volume, and collection end dates. Promotion management then measures the results of each sales wave to adjust the next. The 30-day reference price is automatically checked before each crossed-out price announcement.

By planning the markdown as soon as the collection's renewal date is known, BOOPER recommends a gradual reduction rather than a bulk clearance, based on stock levels and the sales rate of each product. This frees up space for the new collection without lowering your prices or encouraging customers to wait until the end of the season to buy.

Yes. Positioning can incorporate the delivered price (delivery and assembly) to compare what the customer actually pays. This is essential for bulky items, where delivery significantly influences the decision: a sofa that is cheaper but has a higher delivery cost is not necessarily cheaper for the customer. The rules of the BOOPER MPS pricing software can be based on the displayed price, the delivered price, or both.

Retailers, specialist websites, and marketplaces, supplemented if necessary by in-store price checks. Price surveys and web scraping consolidate these sources into a single view. Our article on how marketplaces are revolutionizing price monitoring explains why they should be included in the scope.

Pricing software tailored to a furniture and home decor retailer must be able to match similar products without identical reference numbers, integrate the delivered price, manage sales, and handle the end-of-life of collections. BOOPER combines these capabilities in a single platform, the BOOPER MPS pricing software , whose essential components are activated: product matching , price surveys and web scraping , markdown, and stock clearance and promotion management . BOOPER, a French pricing software publisher since 2014, supports around fifty companies in France, Poland, Vietnam, and Thailand, across more than 4,000 points of sale and €44 billion in managed revenue. Our clients typically see a 0.5 to 3 percentage point increase in margin within a few months. To compare the solutions available on the market, see our retail pricing software comparison .

A deployment typically takes 2 to 4 months, depending on the scope and quality of the data. Your files (sales, pricing, catalog, purchases) are uploaded via the Data Loader, without a mandatory connector initially, then checked and validated. Pricing rules are developed with your teams, who approve each recommendation before deployment. Many clients begin with a pricing analysis on one or two categories to quantify the potential, then expand the scope once initial gains are measured.
