Abstract
The present invention presents systems and methods of future-pricing in an integrated price management system. The invention provides a method of maintaining at least one deal with a lowest price status for at least one product in the price management system by inputting a proposed price for product; searching the price management system for deals having the product with the lowest price status; defining a current lowest price as equal to the price of the product; and, if said proposed price is less than said current lowest price, then computing a potential revenue impact of lowering the price of said product to the proposed price.
