Expiration-dated, potency-sensitive inventory

Supplements range from steady subscription reorders to expiration-dated batches to a hard January resolution spike — dynamic pricing tracks competitors, matches products, tests prices, and applies markdown and pricing rules built for each pattern.
Dynamic pricing for health, wellness, and supplements ecommerce tracks competitor prices against exactly matched products, tests price changes with multi-armed bandit experiments, and applies revenue-optimization and markdown rules tuned to each category — from expiration-dated batches to the January resolution spike — improving revenue per visitor, profit per visitor, and conversion rate automatically.
