The problem

What a price must prove

Most commercial teams already track competitor prices. Three things decide whether the number holds the moment a buyer pushes back.

01

A list price, months old

LIST PRICE $4.20 WHAT THEY ADVERTISED PUBLISHED IN MARCH QUOTED IN AUGUST ADVERTISED $4.20 TRANSACTED $3.61 WHAT THE BUYER PAID PROMOTION AND BUNDLE INCLUDED

A published price list records what a competitor advertised. The buyer in the meeting is quoting what they were charged last week.

  • Advertised and transacted figures drift apart across a quarter.
  • Promotions, bundles, and local discounts sit outside the published number.
02

One region, twelve prices

REGION · AVG $4.05 TWELVE MARKETS, ONE LINE COMFORTABLE MARGIN LEAKING SOMEWHERE −18% THE COUNTRY THAT MOVED, NAMED TWELVE PRICES

A regional average folds twelve markets into a single line. The market where a rival cut hardest reads the same as the eleven that held.

  • The country that moved disappears inside the roll-up.
  • Margin leaks in one market while the average stays comfortable
03

A claim missing its capture

THE FIGURE $3.80 THE RECORD ANOTHER SYSTEM ONE STEP AWAY DAYS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE CAPTURE OUTLET · 14 AUG IN THE SAME ANSWER SUBSTANTIATED IN THE MEETING

A competitor price arrives as a figure in a slide, with the record it came from held in another system. The room has the claim, and the evidence sits one step away.

  • A challenged figure takes days to substantiate.
  • The team softens a correct price because it can prove it slowly.
What Sena does for pricing

Pricing intelligence, per market

Sena is the decision AI with access to real-world data. It reports what each competitor charges in the market under review, from what buyers there paid, and what a capture recorded in the outlet.

Priced and dated

Every rival, priced and dated

Sena reports the price each competitor holds, one market at a time, and dates every figure to the capture behind it.

  • Advertised price and transacted price reported beside each other.
  • Promotions counted as part of what a buyer handed over.
Side by side

Market price beside own price

Sena sets the price recorded in the market beside the price in the team's own systems for the same window.

  • Own price list connected through 250+ integrations.
  • The gap quantified per market, down to segment level.
In the meeting

A price that survives questioning

Every price opens to the outlet, the market, and the date it came from.

  • The evidence arrives in the same answer as the figure.
  • A challenged number gets substantiated inside the meeting.
The method

Building pricing intelligence

A pricing picture holds up on two things: how the prices were collected and how tightly the market and the window were drawn around them.

Market read
The gap= − , advertised
Own price against the market
$0.40above
Market price $3.80 The gap 9.5%
Category demand, same window
+6.0%
The price to hold

Follow in this market. The cut reached the transacted price and category demand moved with it, so the market price is real and the gap is costing volume.

Transacted price from what buyers there paid, advertised price off a dated capture, own price connected through 250+ integrations.

What the platform collects

A pricing intelligence platform is judged on its inputs. Sena collects four.

InputWhat it answers
ReceiptsWhat a buyer in that market paid, line by line, including the promotion applied.
Store capturesWhat a competitor charges and stocks in a real outlet, with the market and date attached.
Geo-verified photosPrice, pack, and facing read straight off the image, so the number and its proof land together.
Stated preferenceThe price a buyer accepts and the point where they switch away.

Reading competitor prices

Competitive pricing intelligence starts with the boundary. Name the competitors that count in that market, and the answer changes with the list.

Step 01

Set the competitor list

Three to five direct rivals plus the private label where it holds real share. The list decides what the market price means.

Step 02

Fix the market and the window

Sena fixes both on every report, which keeps two cycles comparable.

Step 03

Separate advertised from transacted

Each competitor figure carries the day it was recorded, so a rival discount shows up as the discount it is.

01

Setting the price to hold

Sena sets the market price beside the own price and beside the recorded demand for the same window, so the price under discussion carries a reason.

Recorded demand
same window
Above the market
YOUR PRICE PREMIUM MARKET PRICE

Is the premium holding?

The demand read for the same window answers it.

Below the market
MARKET PRICE MARGIN YOUR PRICE

The gap is margin available

The gap quantifies what is left on the table.

The price carries a reason
Direct from real consumers

Shared under explicit consent

Real people share what they buy and prefer, under explicit consent. Sena captures it directly at the source, so every figure traces back to where it came from whenever a number comes under question.

Real people, real consent Zero-party data straight from the source Traceable and verifiable
Sena for pricing intelligence

Ask Sena what to charge

Sena answers pricing questions from consumer data collected under explicit consent, then names the price to hold.

What makes a price figure hold

Per marketReconciled first

One price question per market

Sena answers a pricing question across the markets a team names, and reconciles each market line before reporting it. The markets that diverge get named in the answer.

Cross-market price
Same windowPrice and demand

Read price against demand

Sena places the market price beside the recorded purchase for the same window, so a price move reads against what buyers did. Category demand shows alongside, so a flat result reads against a soft market.

Move and response
Every priceOutlet, market, date

Trace a price to source

Every price opens to the outlet, the market, and the date. A price challenged in the room gets answered from the same screen.

Capture and evidence
How Sena reaches the answer

What holds a price up

A price recommendation rests on the capture behind it

A price recommendation rests on the capture behind it. Sena builds every figure here from real-world signals, captured when the question needs it. It runs from what buyers in the market paid through to the dated capture a team opens in the room.

Consumer activity

Records line by line what buyers in each market paid for the category, so the price on the table rests on money that changed hands.

Computer vision

Reads the price and the promotion off images captured in real stores, dating each capture to the day it was taken.

Zero-party data

Signal arrives from the consumer network under explicit consent. Every price point comes from a person who agreed to share what they paid.

Connect your systems

Brings price lists, point of sale, and revenue data in through 250+ integrations, so the market price reads beside the price in the system.

Trace every answer.

Each price carries the market, the date, and the capture forward, so a rival quote gets checked in the meeting it appears in.

From files to databases

Turns scattered price files, exports, and spreadsheets so a pricing answer draws on every record the team holds.

Who owns the price

Built for the price owners

Four teams read the same market price, and each one needs a different cut of it before they can act.

Revenue operations

The price the team quotes. Needs the market price per country before the list gets reset.

Sales leadership

Whether the number holds in the room. Needs the capture behind any challenged figure.

Commercial finance

Margin. Needs the gap between the own price and the market quantified by the market.

Business development

The entry price in a new market. Needs what buyers there already pay.

By industry

Pricing across every market

The same price read, checked against the decision each category actually makes.

01

CPG and retail

The outlet price is beside what buyers paid, where the category decision happens in store.

02

Financial services

How product pricing lands with real consumers across regions, market by market.

03

Telecom

Where a tariff move changed what buyers chose, and where it passed unnoticed.

04

Consumer tech

Stated willingness to pay, set beside the price on the receipt.

The mechanism

Consumer to price, three steps

One mechanism, applied per market and per category. Each step is documented, which is what keeps the price defensible.

Step 01 · Capture

Capture

Real contributors share what they buy and pay under explicit consent in the markets named.

  • Receipts line by line, promotion included
  • Explicit consent on every signal
Step 02 · Read

Read

Sena reads the price, pack, and promotion off the captures and attributes each to the competitor and outlet it came from.

  • Attributed to the competitor and the outlet
  • Dated to the day of the capture
Step 03 · Compare

Compare

The market price reports beside the own price and recorded demand for the same window, market by market.

  • Own price and market price on one line
  • Demand for the same window beside both
What changes

Priced from real purchase

Most price tracking reads what a competitor published. Sena reads what a buyer in that market paid.

FAQ

Pricing intelligence questions

01 What is pricing intelligence?
Pricing intelligence is what a commercial team knows about the prices in the market it sells into: what each competitor charges, what buyers there paid, and how both moved. Sena builds it from receipts, store captures, geo-verified photos, and stated preference, reported per market with the capture attached.
02 What is pricing intelligence software?
Pricing intelligence software collects competitor prices and reports them against its own price. Most of the category reads published lists and web pages, which record the advertised figure alone. Sena adds what buyers in that market paid, including the promotion applied, so advertised and transacted prices arrive beside each other.
03 How do pricing intelligence platforms work?
A pricing intelligence platform collects price signals, attributes each figure to a competitor and a market, and then reports it against its own price. Sena reads the price, pack, and promotion off captures taken in real outlets and dates every figure. Own price lists connect through 250+ integrations, so both sides sit on one line.
04 How to monitor competitor prices?
Set the competitor list for the market, fix the window, then collect both the advertised price and the price buyers paid. Holding the list and the window constant is what makes two cycles comparable. Sena runs this per market and reports each competitor separately, dated.
05 How to monitor competitor prices automatically?
Connect the price systems already in use, name the markets and the competitor list, then ask the question. Sena runs the collection against that list for the markets named. The team asks in plain language, and the answer returns with the outlet, the date, and the capture behind every figure.
06 How do companies monitor competitor prices online?
Published listings are the common source, and they cover the channels that publish a price. That leaves the transacted price, the local promotion, and the offline outlet outside the read. Sena covers those with receipts and captures taken in real stores.
07 How does pricing intelligence drive business decisions?
It answers whether to hold, raise, or follow, market by market. A rival cut that reached the transacted price and moved category demand argues for a response. A cut on the advertised price alone, with transacted prices steady, argues for holding. Sena reports both readings on the same window.
08 How to choose pricing intelligence software?
Weigh four things: where the prices come from, how current they are, whether the answer breaks out per market, and whether any figure opens to its source. Published-listing coverage answers the first cheaply and leaves the transacted price open. Sena collects from real buyers and real outlets.
09 What data does Sena use to price a market?
Zero-party data, shared directly and on purpose by people in that market, drawn from a 5M+ consumer network under explicit consent, across 190+ countries. Sena sets it beside store captures from real outlets, then beside the team's own price lists through 250+ integrations.
