Competitor price monitoring

Competitor prices from websites and marketplaces — regular, like-for-like, with source and date — so pricing decisions rest on the real market.

The problem we address

Competitor prices are usually seen through occasional searches or a salesperson's word. Equivalent items aren't matched properly, dates aren't recorded and results never reach a decision.

What we do

  • A list of key items and equivalent competitors for each
  • Regular price collection from competitor sites, marketplaces and price-comparison sites through permitted means, with source and date
  • Matching items, units and pack sizes for a fair comparison
  • Price-position reports (percentile, gap to median) and alerts on major changes
  • Linking reports to pricing rules and the monthly decision

Deliverables

  1. Item and competitor match list

  2. Competitor price table with source and date

  3. Periodic price-position and change report

  4. Recommended actions based on pricing rules

KPIs we would track

  • Coverage of key items
  • Price position vs median
  • Reaction time to competitor changes

Who this fits

Online stores, marketplace sellers and multi-channel brands.

Frequently asked questions

Is monitoring automated?

Part of collection can be automated, but only through permitted means and each site's rules; item matching and interpretation are done by an analyst.
