Retail Pricing Expert, AI & Product

About Sampo
Sampo is a pricing intelligence and automated repricing platform for retailers and brands across MENA. We monitor competitor prices, recommend price moves, and run custom pricing rules for merchants in pharmacy, electronics, beauty, pet care and grocery, including Chemist Warehouse, Aster Pharmacy and Petzone. Our pricing engine combines competitor data, sales velocity, stock levels, shelf life and predicted demand.

Review AI-generated pricing recommendations, judge which are right or wrong, and explain why, so we can train and evaluate the models
