Price monitoring and analytics

The Business Need

A leading integrated retailer based out of Australia connecting digital and physical shopping experiences requested an online price monitoring service that would help in comparing prices of multiple products across categories. The basic requirement was to monitor close to 10,000 SKUs across 33 competitor websites for all days in the year.

The Australian retailer wanted Mobius to

  • Monitor the product pricing in 33 competitor sites on a daily basis for around 10000 products
  • Collect and map the deals/promotions published over in the competitor site and map it with our client products
  • Observe the daily print ads on online newspapers and magazines by their competitor and capture product prices.

Challenges we faced

  • The volumes of data required to be monitored were huge
  • The websites change their structures or patterns frequently, which meant it required customizing scripts periodically
  • The data was required to be extracted from unstructured sources
  • The product prices and other details like offers and discounts change often and hence required to be refreshed
