BHG Group in a nutshell

BHG Group, a leader in the consumer E-commerce domain in the Nordics and beyond, has carved a niche in the Home Improvement sector, including do-it-yourself, hardware, and home furnishings. With a strong presence across Europe and in other select global markets, BHG stands out as a top online retailer. In Finland alone, the group’s turnover reached an impressive +100M€ in 2022. With their showroom sales outlets, their e-commerce brands Taloon.com and Netrauta.fi are leading the way in the Finnish Home improvement sector. The company is well known for its data-driven approach to e-commerce. 

The challenge

BHG Group operates in a highly competitive and price-sensitive market, demanding agile and fast pricing. The main challenge was the transition from semi-manual and time-consuming pricing to data and AI-driven pricing with clear insights on development. Main three focused challenge areas were: 

  1. Price sensitivity in a competitive market: navigating a market where customers are highly responsive to price changes, requiring a careful balance between competitiveness and profitability.
  2. Extensive product pricing: effectively pricing many products, each with its unique demand curve, competition, focus weight, and cost considerations.
  3. Diverse portfolio management: catering to their extensive product portfolio’s various seasonal and supplier requirements, requiring a flexible and responsive pricing approach.

BHG chose Sniffie for its Finnish brands Taloon.com and Netrauta.fi to address these challenges. With Sniffie, BHG was able to automate pricing dynamically with the combination of flexible automation and different AI models. Sniffie was integrated directly into BHG’s ERP system to cater to the data-driven approach, enabling a direct and fast platform for a data-driven pricing process. The objectives for the project were:

  1. Centralized and competitive pricing: streamlining pricing management across an extensive product portfolio and making sure both profitability and competitiveness were tackled.
  2. Automated pricing workflows: Running a vast product portfolio needs a well-facilitated range of automated pricing strategies, from discounting to profit optimization to securing profitability.
  3. Data-driven pricing approach: leveraging real-time data, flexible automation, and AI models for informed pricing decisions on a brand, product, and category level.
