Continuous monitoring of e-commerce prices and assortments

Knowing competitors’ prices can be a critical information when running a business, whether e-commerce or physical. This ensures that the prices you set stay competitive while helping to guarantee expected profit margins. Keeping track of competitors’ prices is important not only to take data-driven decisions, but also to adapt to sudden changes such as offers and discounts on key items. Understanding competitors’ pricing strategies can also reveal valuable insights as how much customers are willing to pay for different products, giving you a better chance of success with your strategy.

Monitoring competitors does not have to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity. With QPoint WEB, you can easily monitor product visibility and prices of e-commerce websites accurately and in real time. The choice amongst a wide range of product sectors allows you to gain valuable market intelligence. Kick off your competitive monitoring with QPoint WEB.

Based on a daily monitoring, which can be set up to hourly frequency, QPoint WEB goes far beyond a simple automated price capture: thanks to a post-capture activity entrusted to the quality department, in fact, the collected products are recognized and linked with the common database. .

And this is the real difference between QPoint WEB and any scraping and price comparison tool: while the other tools are based, for recognition and coupling, on the description of the article, thus attempting an automatic semantic recognition, for QPoint WEB the automatism stops at capture because our Product Specialists take care of the rest.

In practical terms, this translates into 40% more cross-site correlation than competitors. More correlation means more comparability. QPoint WEB is not limited to monitoring the assortments: it is also able to recognize the WEB campaigns with which an e-commerce site offers category, brand, seasonal offers and anything else it decides to highlight to increase the conversion.
