The challenge the fashion company FAM Brands had
The main challenge for FAM Brands was to optimize their product lifecycle pricing. Another big pain point for FAM Brands was the large number of SKUs and the small team to manage them.
FAM Brands faced a decline in gross margins due to inflation and had to develop solutions to increase profitability. The company evaluated different pricing strategies to raise prices without negatively impacting conversion rates and their overall business. One solution implemented was selectively increasing prices on items having higher demand and reducing prices on items that created a higher sales volume.
Additionally, the company faced challenges in efficiently managing many SKUs with limited resources. To support the new strategy FAM Brands chose Sniffie AI Pricing tool How to streamline the process, get more precision with AI and improve management of the product selection.
FAM Brands uses AI Pricing Tool to optimize pricing
FAM Brands uses Sniffie AI Pricing Tool for Profit Optimization, and for their markdown pricing campaigns. The team consists of several users who plan and execute the AI-driven markdown campaigns when the products are closing in their end of lifecycle. The team also uses Sniffie AI to optimize the product prices for the overall best profit.
What was the outcome after the first six months?
When we asked Justin how has Sniffie AI Pricing tool helped them to solve their issue, the answer was clear:
“It has definitely made it easier for our merchandisers to perform their daily activities. It has increased our gross profit by about 10%, and our net profit by just about 10% as well which is really powerful, it has almost doubled our net profits.”

What are the things that users like in Sniffie?
When asked how the “How have you liked the product so far?” Milton Ramirez, super user of Sniffie from FAM Brands adds:
“I agree with Justin, the beginning stages were the difficult ones, trying to learn something new, in this case with AI. But like Justin said the product does serve its purpose. The product has better facilitated my time as a merchandiser at our end in terms of managing our products at a mass level, and just being able to edit them at a mass level saves a lot of time when I can make changes to a whole group of products in a matter of seconds, although it was time consuming in the beginning during the learning process. It is very beneficial at my end as well.”
