Commercial Intelligence & Pricing Platform Creation

Project Title

Commercial Intelligence & Pricing Platform (CIPP)

Project Overview

We are looking for an experienced software development team or solution architect to design and build a cloud-native Commercial Intelligence & Pricing Platform.

The platform will initially serve Data & API Providers, Government Data Platforms, and Hospitality companies. The architecture must be designed from day one to support future expansion into SaaS, Insurance, Banking, Financing, and other industries without requiring a major redesign.

This is not a simple pricing calculator. The platform should act as a centralized commercial decision platform that enables organizations to define products, services, packages, customer personas, pricing models, commercial rules, approval workflows, simulations, analytics, and AI-driven recommendations.
