Quickly look up what your competitors are charging for similar products and services.

Industry:   Retail & Marketing

Clients: Online retailers & solution providers

Case: Today marketers and retailers are in need of business intelligence to stay ahead of their game. A variety of Internet sources can reveal information such as price comparison (or competitive pricing) found published by each of your competitors. The input may be a single product or thousands of products. See an example of real-time data extraction across multiple websites with a variety of user-interfaces and content.

Requirement:  The “Price Comparison” service can perform on-demand deep Internet crawls from a pre-defined set of sources based on extracting pricing information from thousands of items with numerous variables (“Elements”). We deploy our URL Extractor module to extract all of the relevant unstructured data, related to the basic items. The unstructured data is then structured (parsed) and then deposited into the production process which tags the data by the various Elements and then delivered daily/weekly/monthly into a database for retrieval by our customers
