Price Monitoring
Online retailers implement thousands of price changes daily that are impossible to monitor manually. As a result, e-commerce specialists rely on web intelligence solution providers such as Oxylabs' for automated real-time data delivery.
Real-time data from any country
Robust, ethically-acquired proxies
Structured, ready-to-use pricing information
Conduct price monitoring with gathered data
To keep up with the ever-changing market, it’s crucial to monitor pricing data, shipping costs, and product availability. With the help of Oxylabs’ web intelligence solutions, companies can effortlessly gather all this public data and conduct price monitoring for their customers.
Adapting to layout changes
E-commerce sites store pricing information in varied locations. This can disrupt the price extraction processes, especially with constantly changing page layouts.
Collect pricing data on a large scale
The e-commerce market is dynamic and, especially during sale peak times, pricing information may change several times a day. Gathering fresh and accurate prices requires a price monitoring tool that can handle large-scale operations.
Get geo-location based prices
Pricing information differs between websites and can be influenced by geographic location – even the same provider may alter prices based on the country or currency. As a result, it may be difficult to retrieve desired data from a particular location.
