Customer spotlight

Northeast Grocery

Northeast Grocery joins the network of 120+ retail banners and 7,800+ connected CPG partners on the Commercial Trade Intelligence platform — where the deal a supplier funds is the same deal the retailer prices and executes, from co-planning through settlement.

Partnering with DemandTec, NGI — parent of Price Chopper/Market 32 and Tops Friendly Markets — replaced manual work with AI-driven pricing and promotion across nearly 300 stores, automating over 9,000 promotions a week and lifting sales, units, and margin dollars by 2.5%.

In their words

We saw an opportunity to fine-tune our regular everyday pricing along with TPR’s and promotions to better our performance, and further drive sustainable trade negotiations. With DemandTec we’ve been able to build an ongoing robust process for pricing and promotion optimization. We’re constantly feeding the most accurate, timely information, competitive data, location and product attributes, and customer behavior analytics into the system, allowing us to be much more granular with our strategies.

Customer success

A team that stays past go-live

Onboarding, data-feed accuracy, and change management are run as a partnership, not a hand-off. The same team that connects your data stays on for the work that follows.

Onboarding as a partnership

From contract to the first live deal, our team maps your data feeds, systems, and workflows alongside yours — a guided path, not a hand-off.

Data-feed accuracy

The shared data model is only as good as what flows into it. Feeds are monitored for accuracy and timeliness, with processes in place so nothing goes missing.

Change management that sticks

Merchants, account teams, and brokers are enabled on the platform they will actually use every day — and the team stays engaged long past go-live.
