Whether you are an eCommerce company, an airline, or a hotel brand, pricing data from competitors allows you to stay agile and tackle dynamic market conditions.
Promotion and Trend Spotting
Data collected over time can unveil trends associated with product pricing and how your competitors promote their products with discounts and deals depending on the market condition and events.
High-Value Insights
Data extracted from competitors’ site will give a complete picture of their product catalog. This will answer some the important questions such as: Which product can attract premium price? Where can we give discount without incurring loss?
