“At First National Bank of Omaha, which has been privately owned and independent for more than 160 years, we are making a choice to be an early adopter and embrace AI, particularly for consumer lending. We recently partnered with a Silicon Valley fintech called Upstart to decrease loss rates and increase approval rates by using the platform’s AI technology.
The reality is that banks who choose to fear AI run the risk of slowly sliding into obsolescence. AI is still an emerging space, but like the machine-learning algorithms that power AI, we are also getting smarter every day in our approach and willingness to tackle credit underwriting innovation. Banks, including smaller institutions, that struggle to embrace innovation, may find themselves quickly falling behind.”

Using AI to automatically drive sales and profit online is something that many businesses dream of. Price Edge has now turned that dream into an all-in-one reality.
Stockholm, Sweden, May 20, 2019 –(PR.com)– Price Edge, a Price Optimization & Management (PO&M) software provider, announced today the release of their latest AI solution, PriceEdge™ Optimize, which applies artificial intelligence to optimize prices & revenues for eCommerce stores.
PriceEdge™ Optimize enables eCommerce stores to get optimal price suggestions and gain insight into their products’ price elasticity, by understanding the purchase behaviour around each product in combination with competitors’ pricing. This not only enables pricing teams to save time and effort, but it also empowers them to focus more on business strategy rather than pricing administration. The solution can additionally be implemented within hours, as all data is collected via a script that’s simply embedded in the webshop code.
With this addition, Price Edge now challenges the incumbents in end-to-end pricing solutions with a broad set of solutions designed to solve any price management and optimization needs.
“Today, eCommerce businesses must stay on top of rapidly changing market conditions and customer preferences,” said Rickard Glamsjö, CEO, Price Edge. “Prices must continuously adapt to the constantly changing market dynamics and unique differences of each business to deliver pricing recommendations that drive revenue and identify hidden profit.
