Price Monitoring Challenge

The company is looking for software that can provide the best solution with minimal maintenance and help solve the most common price tracking challenges.

Adapt to e-commerce website layout changes

Adapt to layout changes

The website layout varies depending on the page. Different e-commerce websites store product pricing information in different locations, which makes it complex to automatically extract prices from product pages, especially in situations where the layout is constantly changing.

Possible risks

Information collection is an essential but time-consuming part of price monitoring. Usually, parsers cannot adapt to different website layouts, so companies need to develop parsers for each page they want to extract data from. However, websites often change their existing layout, so parsers need to be maintained regularly.

The overseas agent solution provides parsed data in JSON format. Residential agents have adaptive parsing function, and product pricing information can be found regardless of the website layout.

Gather data at large scale

Scalability

The e-commerce market is dynamic, especially during peak sales periods, where pricing information may change multiple times a day. Collecting fresh and accurate information requires tools that can collect large-scale data when needed.

Possible risks

For e-commerce companies, some periods are more tense than others. Prices may change more frequently depending on season, sales, and other factors. Then the price climb intensified as the company needed the latest information.

By using overseas agency products, you can easily change the collection scale according to your needs. Collect as much pricing information as needed and ensure that your data remains relevant.

Gather data from any location

Geographically based data

The pricing information for different websites varies and sometimes depends on their geographical location. Even the same supplier may change prices based on country or currency. Accessing information that can only be obtained from a certain location is a significant challenge.

Possible risks

In order to collect accurate pricing information, companies need to access data from around the world. Some e-commerce websites only provide information based on IP address location and prohibit viewing their pricing in other countries/regions.
