YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Cost shocks make blanket price rises increasingly risky
- The National Living Wage rose 6.7% to £12.21 an hour in April 2025, while employer NICs increased to 15%, requiring a fresh review of cost-to-serve and margins.
- YCP connects cost-to-serve, demand elasticity and competitor signals to build segment-led price actions that protect margin without relying on blanket increases.
Stronger consumer rules put pricing governance in focus
- The CMA gained direct consumer-law enforcement powers in April 2025, including fines of up to 10% of global turnover, raising the stakes for pricing claims and promotions.
- Against that backdrop, YCP designs pricing governance, approval controls and evidence trails that make value, fees and promotional terms easier to defend.
Fragmented data obscures where price truly creates value
- UK online sales represented roughly 27% of retail sales in 2024, yet many businesses still separate e-commerce, store and CRM data, masking channel-level willingness to pay.
- YCP unifies transaction, customer and market data into practical price corridors and dashboards, helping teams identify leakage, test changes and act quickly.
Promotion-heavy markets demand clearer value architecture
- UK food-price inflation peaked at 19.2% in March 2023; even as inflation moderated, shoppers retained deal-seeking habits, making poorly targeted discounting costly.
- YCP translates customer needs and competitive positions into pack-price architecture, offer rules and test plans that sustain perceived value and reduce unnecessary discounting.
