Our Founders

The company’s founders, Ken and Tim Ouimet, grew up in the industry working for their parents’ company, Comparative Prices International, where they collected in-store retail data for corporate clients.

In the late 1990’s, the Ouimet brothers founded Khimetrics, where they pioneered retail price optimization as a new software category –  revolutionizing retail pricing and delivering 1% of sales to profit for clients like Albertsons, Safeway, and Lowes.

Ken and Tim assessed the future of retail and saw a perfect storm forming through these emerging trends:

  • Price transparency
  • Smartphone adoption
  • Personalization, and
  • A hyper-competitive market that is being disrupted by new online models

They formed Engage3 to revolutionize retail pricing through data science and predictive modeling to help retailers understand and manage their Price Image and to ultimately enable Personalized Pricing.

Why Now?

The retail industry is going through a massive transformation that is being driven by higher expectations from consumers and a changing landscape for retailers and manufacturers.

Manufacturers are desperately in need of a more effective trade promotions model.
U.S. CPG manufacturers spend $200 B per year on trade promotions, and 74% of these promotions lose money (Nielsen).

Retailers are struggling to adapt to price transparency and empowered consumers.
Traditional High-Low and Everyday Low Pricing (EDLP) pricing models are becoming ineffective.

Consumers expect transparency and want to know that they are getting the best deal.
90% of consumers use coupons; 78% want coupons to be automatically applied (Inmar).
