“We had been matching the cheapest reseller for two years. CogniSpan showed that a third of our catalog was inelastic — we raised those prices 6% and lost almost no units.”

Competitor ScraperMOD-01

Hourly price truth from every marketplace you compete on.

Variant-level matching resolves size, colour and capacity so a 32x32 selvedge denim is never compared against a 30x30. Every observation is timestamped and kept for 36 months.

Elasticity EngineMOD-02

A demand curve per SKU, not a category rule of thumb.

A hierarchical Bayesian model pools thin-data SKUs with their category, separates promo lift from base demand, and reports elasticity ε with a 90% credible interval instead of a single number.

Smart RepricerMOD-03

Price moves that defend margin, inside limits you set.

The optimizer searches for the contribution-margin peak, not the volume peak — then clamps the result to your floor, ceiling, MAP and maximum daily move before anything reaches your storefront.

From connect to confident price

  1. 01~8 min

    Connect

    Point CogniSpan at your storefront. We import SKUs, costs and 90 days of order lines. No shopper PII ever leaves your store.

  2. 02~2 min

    Observe

    Add up to ten competitor domains. The scraper starts building the price panel immediately and flags MAP breaches from hour one.

  3. 03Overnight

    Model

    Elasticity is fit per SKU against your own demand history, pooled by category where data is thin. Confidence is reported, never hidden.

  4. 04Daily, 10 min

    Decide

    Review the suggested price, the expected margin delta and the credible interval. Apply one SKU, a filter, or the whole catalog.

Questions we get on every call

Does it work if some SKUs barely sell?

Yes. Thin-data SKUs borrow strength from their category through a hierarchical model, and the confidence score tells you exactly how much to trust each recommendation. Below 0.35 confidence we recommend holding price.

Do you need customer data?

No PII. CogniSpan reads order-line aggregates only: SKU, date, price, units, cost. Nothing about individual shoppers is imported, stored or modelled.

How is MAP enforced?

MAP is a hard floor inside the optimizer. A suggested price can never fall below it. When a competitor breaches your MAP, we raise an alert with evidence rather than cutting your price to match.

What if the model is wrong?

Nothing moves without your approval on Starter, and on Growth every automated move respects your floor, ceiling and ±7% daily cap. Every applied price is versioned and reversible in one click.

How long is onboarding?

About thirty minutes of work on your side, then one overnight model run. Most brands review their first suggestion set the next morning.

How long is data retained?

Rolling 36 months of price and demand history, exportable as CSV and deletable on request within 30 days.

What happens after I join the waitlist?

We onboard in cohorts of 25. You receive a scheduling link and a sandbox project preloaded with a catalog shaped like yours so you can judge the output before connecting anything.
