Optimization - Markdown Accelerator deploys a standard Markdown Model Class that optimizes the product markdown in a B2C context.

In this section, you will find all information to deploy and run a standard markdown optimization. More details on data mapping, elasticity model creation, and optimization results evaluation are in https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACC/pages/5039489141.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation of the Accelerator, make suer you have all the data ready (as listed in Data Requirements (Optimization - Markdown)).

To use the Markdown model class deployed by the Accelerator, you will need:

  • Multifactor Elasticity Model – To create and run a Markdown model, you need to generate a Multifactor Elasticity Model which will provide the price elasticities. For details how to run a Multifactor Elasticity Model, see Prepare Elasticity Model (Optimization - Markdown).

The Optimization - Multifactor Elasticity Accelerator will be automatically deployed as a dependency of Optimization - Markdown Accelerator and therefore will delete any previous deployment customizations of this accelerator on the partition.

  • Optimization Engine (Image) – To run a Markdown model, your partition needs to be allowed to use the Optimization Engine. It will be automatically enabled during the deployment of the accelerator.

Deployment

  1. Get access to PlatformManager and target partition, as described in common installation prerequisites.

  2. Access PlatformManager at https://platform.pricefx.com/ and log in.

  3. Go to Marketplace and find the Optimization - Markdown accelerator.

  4. Click the accelerator tile, select the partition where you want to deploy the accelerator package and confirm the deployment dialog to start.
    For detailed description of all deployment options, see PlatformManager documentation.
