PriceHawk-A Dynamic Pricing Engine

“PriceHawk 

              - An eye on your market” 

 

I have always wondered why big companies (such as Uber, Airbnb, and Amazon) are constantly upskilling their game, while small ones struggle.  

The big companies have already been using dynamic pricing in the backend to attract customers/sales each time an opportunity comes by.   

  

The problem: 

Unfortunately, small businesses don’t have access to these tools. They either charge too high or too low because they guess prices instead of optimizing them or they remain silent with their original pricing which in turn is hindering its growth.  

 

My idea:  

So, what PriceHawk does is takes in the seller's input  

Their product/service worth  

Competitors data  

demand trends (such as if it's a holiday, weekend, or events)  

customer groups

The locality where the customer lives.  

Using Game Theory [auction theory, Nash equilibrium algorithms] we predict our competitors' pricing ranges and ML to analyze the past events, demands, and customer willingness to pay.  

We create a “DYNAMIC PRICING ENGINE” that suggests the "best price in REAL TIME” while anticipating their competitors’ moves. 

 

What's unique and why is it even required?  

For instance, Uber already uses complex algorithms to maximize their profits in a crazy strategic way, which is quite fascinating tbh!  

We here make the same power accessible to small ones in  

→easy to use  

→affordable  

and in →real time 

 

The result?  

Even small businesses can maximize their sales, adapt to demands and keep them going without any hassle just like the other big ones in the market.

  • This is a really smart idea because it gives small businesses the same pricing power that big companies already use. Making it simple, affordable, and real-time could actually help them stay competitive and grow faster. The concept is clear, but a bit broad. Maybe you can add more details on how it will actually work.
  • This is a brilliant way to give small businesses the same competitive edge as big companies. I really like how PriceHawk uses game theory and machine learning to suggest the best price in real time.
  • Interesting idea, but realistically, getting accurate competitor data in real time is tough. Sudden price changes might upset customers, and small business owners may not fully trust or understand the ML recommendations. Implementation could be harder than it sounds.
  • This is a really impressive and practical idea! I love how PriceHawk levels the playing field, giving small businesses access to dynamic pricing strategies that were once only available to big companies. The use of game theory and real-time ML makes it both smart and actionable—definitely a game-changer for growth and competitiveness. 💡
  • I really like this idea! PriceHawk gives small businesses the same powerful tools that big companies use, but in a simple and affordable way. Dynamic pricing can truly level the playing field, helping local sellers stay competitive, boost sales, and adapt quickly to market changes. Making advanced game theory and AI accessible like this feels both smart and empowering
  • This is a smart, accessible solution that levels the playing field by bringing dynamic pricing tools to small businesses. By combining game theory with real-time market insights, it empowers local sellers to compete strategically and grow sustainably
  • This is an amazing idea which is very much relevant to our current financial trends. What stands out to me is how you’re giving small businesses access to tools that usually only big companies can afford. That feels both fair and innovative. It is very well thought and the focus on small businesses makes it feel meaningful and impactful.
  • This is a fantastic idea! I really like how you’re taking something that’s usually only available to big players like Uber or Amazon and making it accessible for small businesses. The focus on real-time, affordable, and easy-to-use pricing tools is a game-changer—especially since most small businesses just guess their prices. PriceHawk sounds like it could genuinely level the playing field and help them grow without the usual trial-and-error struggles
  • PriceHawk is a smart idea that helps small businesses use dynamic pricing like big companies do. I like how it makes complex tools simple, affordable, and useful in real time. It can really help sellers adjust prices and stay competitive, though it may still need fine-tuning for different markets.
  • Love this! It makes smart pricing easy for everyone. A good idea would be to show real success stories so new users can see it really works.
