You have solved the hard part

Your ecommerce operation is already connected.

Implementing Linnworks is often one of the most important operational improvements a multichannel retailer makes. It replaces fragmented processes with a central place to manage the work that keeps orders moving.

01

Inventory management

Keep stock positions visible and coordinated across the operation.

02

Order management

Bring orders from connected channels into one operational workflow.

03

Product management

Maintain the product information that supports listings and fulfilment.

04

Listings

Control how products are represented across connected destinations.

05

Marketplace integrations

Connect the channels where customers discover and buy products.

06

Fulfilment

Coordinate the work required to move each order from purchase to delivery.

Linnworks runs your operations. Pricemaster runs your pricing.
The remaining disconnect

But pricing often gets left behind.

It is common to find a modern Linnworks operation sitting alongside a pricing process built from spreadsheets, browser tabs and individual knowledge. The operation is connected, but the commercial decision that shapes conversion and margin still depends on manual effort.

Spreadsheets

Pricing logic becomes difficult to govern as more products, channels and team members are added.

Browser tabs

Competitor checks provide a momentary view that can be out of date before updates are complete.

Manual checks

Repeated monitoring consumes commercial time without creating a scalable process.

Internal knowledge

Important exceptions and competitor context can remain undocumented and difficult to apply consistently.

Individual dependency

When one person owns the process, pricing slows down when their attention is needed elsewhere.

A marketplace manager may know which competitors matter. A buyer may know which brands can hold a stronger margin. An ecommerce manager may know which products are hurting Google Shopping performance. When that knowledge lives with individuals instead of a system, it is difficult to apply consistently across every SKU and channel.

The next operational step

Pricing deserves the same level of automation as inventory.

Retailers would not manage stock availability for thousands of products in an ungoverned spreadsheet. Pricing should be treated with the same discipline.

CentralisedAutomatedConsistentData-drivenScalable

That means one pricing process that can react to current product, cost, stock and market data while applying the commercial rules selected by your team.

Where Pricemaster fits

Add the intelligent pricing layer to Linnworks.

Pricemaster extends the operation you already have. Linnworks remains the operational platform; Pricemaster turns connected data into controlled pricing decisions and returns approved updates to every sales channel.

Pricing consistency

Clear reporting

Give commercial teams visibility into the rules, inputs and reasoning behind pricing changes.

Real commercial outcomes

More confidence, consistency and market visibility.

Retailers usually invest in pricing automation because they want the process to become more manageable and commercially dependable as the business grows.

Less manual work

Move the team away from repeated checking and product-by-product updates.

Faster market reaction

Respond to relevant price and availability changes without waiting for the next spreadsheet cycle.

Better consistency

Apply the same approved logic across the catalogue and connected channels.

Stronger margin control

Keep cost and margin safeguards inside every automated decision.

Greater pricing confidence

Base decisions on visible market context rather than isolated checks or assumptions.

Improved visibility

Understand where products sit in the market and which areas require commercial attention.

These are potential operational and commercial improvements rather than guaranteed results. Outcomes depend on the retailer’s catalogue, market, strategy and implementation.

Frequently asked questions

What Linnworks teams usually want to know.

Does Pricemaster replace Linnworks?

No. Linnworks remains the operational platform for products, inventory, orders, listings and fulfilment. Pricemaster adds the pricing intelligence and automation layer.

Will our team need a second operational workflow?

No. Pricemaster is designed to extend the Linnworks setup you already use. Product, stock and cost context supports pricing decisions, and approved prices return through Linnworks.

Can we keep control over pricing strategy?

Yes. Your team defines the competitors, market position, product groups, exclusions and margin safeguards. Automation executes that approved strategy consistently.

Can Pricemaster support own-brand products?

Yes. For own-brand, exclusive or poorly benchmarked products, controlled sales-data analysis can help identify potential pricing and margin opportunities.

What happens to our existing Linnworks integrations?

They remain in place. Pricemaster uses Linnworks as the operational connection point so pricing can extend across the channels you already manage.
