Boomerang Commerce Named by Gartner as a Cool Vendor for Digital Commerce, 2015


Boomerang Commerce, an innovator in omni-channel pricing technology, announced today it was named by Gartner (News - Alert) as a Cool Vendor in Digital Commerce for 2015. Boomerang Commerce is one of only five vendors named in the Cool Vendors in Digital Commerce, 2015 report1, which is part of Gartner's annual recognition of innovative companies in key technology sectors.

Each year, Gartner identifies new vendors in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports recognizing these innovative vendors and their products and services. In the Digital Commerce report, Gartner recognizes five 'Cool Vendors' that are innovative players in payments, mobile, pricing, marketplaces and cloud technologies that can augment or complement enterprises' current digital commerce platforms.

In regard to pricing Gartner noted: "The challenge for many retailers in a world of nternet-driven price transparency is staying price-competitive without being dragged into a 'race to the bottom.'"



"We feel being named among Gartner's 'Cool Vendors' speaks to the growing importance to omnichannel retailers of balancing competitiveness with profitability-and the fact that digital innovation is the way for them to achieve that," said Guru Hariharan, CEO of Boomerang Commerce.

Today, IR100 omni-channel retailers realize $40M in incremental revenue and $9M in incremental margins for every $1B in revenue they run through the Boomerang platform. Boomerang enables this revenue growth and protects margins by rapidly analyzing, testing and deploying smart pricing, inventory and assortment strategies. These retailers gain an unfair advantage by leveraging Boomerang's deep understanding of how to price products effectively and maximize not just individual transactions but also Customer Lifetime Value (LTV).
