Analysis and Optimization of Pricing Plans for Sales Transactions

A computing platform comprising:

• one or more processors to process operations;
• a memory for storage of data;
• an application programming interface (API) to receive a request for pricing of a sales transaction, the sales transaction including one or more sales items;
• and
• a pricing service including a pricing function to generate pricing for the sales transaction, wherein generating pricing of the sales transaction includes:
• storing the sales transaction in the memory,
• performing a static analysis of the sales transaction in the memory, the static analysis including the one or more processors scanning the received sales transaction in memory to analyze structure and content of the sales transaction,
• generating an initial pricing plan for the sales transaction based on the static analysis,
• commencing a price calculation by the one or more processors for the sales transaction,
• identifying one or more inefficiencies in the initial pricing plan during the price calculation, and
• dynamically modifying the initial pricing plan based at least in part on the identified one or more inefficiencies to improve performance of pricing for the sales transaction.

A method comprising:

• receiving a request for pricing of a sales transaction at a computing platform, the sales transaction including one or more sales items;
• directing the request to a pricing service of the computing platform;
• storing the sales transaction in a computer memory for analysis;
• performing a static analysis of the sales transaction in the computer memory, the static analysis including scanning the received sales transaction in memory to analyze structure and content of the sales transaction;
• generating an initial pricing plan for the sales transaction based on the static analysis;
• commencing a price calculation for the sales transaction;
• identifying one or more inefficiencies in the initial pricing plan during the price calculation;
• and
• dynamically modifying the initial pricing plan based at least in part on the identified one or more inefficiencies to improve performance of pricing for the sales transaction.
