Aaron was formerly Head of Price Strategy and Analytics at Woolworths, and while he was there the idea to develop an alternative to sending humans out to gather data on competitors pricing began to take root…in 2018 he set up ShopGrok.  The business has worked with clients such as KFC,  Super Cheap Auto and Oroton.  In this chat Aaron shares his thoughts on dynamic pricing, his top pricing tips for anyone looking to overhaul their strategy in this space and gives us  the low down on data collection.
