Enforcing Promotional Integrity with Minimum Selling Price Controls

intro

Spectrum Brands is a global consumer goods leader with a diverse portfolio of household, personal care, and pet products. Operating across multiple territories and ecommerce sites powered by Adobe Commerce, the brand places strong emphasis on customer experience and pricing consistency across markets.

PROBLEM

Scaling Promotions Without Sacrificing Margins

Running simultaneous promotions across multiple sites introduced a risk: without built-in safeguards, there was a chance that discount rules or manual updates could push product prices below acceptable margins. Spectrum needed a robust solution that could automatically enforce a Minimum Selling Price (MSP), regardless of promotional complexity or scale.

APPROACH

A Collaborative Discovery Process

We began by scoping the requirements through Spectrum’s business-as-usual workflow, investing time in discovery and refinement before it was formally established as a project. The team that would go on to implement the solution were brought in early to shape the plan, resulting in faster decision-making and fewer changes downstream. The final MSP tool was built quickly and efficiently, thanks to this upfront alignment and strong internal collaboration on both sides.

SOLUTION

A Bespoke MSP Control Mechanism

The Pixel developed a bespoke MSP control mechanism within Adobe Commerce that ensures product prices can never fall below an agreed threshold. The solution automatically overrides conflicting rules and protects pricing integrity across all promotional types. By planning thoroughly and involving technical experts from the outset, we were able to build, test and deploy the feature with no disruption and complete confidence from the client team.

RESULTS

Reliable Results at Scale

  • Reliable enforcement of minimum selling prices, reducing risk and protecting brand value
  • Fully integrated Adobe Commerce solution, tailored to the client’s promotional workflows
  • Recognised internally by Spectrum as a model for how future projects should be run
