Dynamic pricing

Introduction

In the competitive world of e-commerce, small businesses often struggle to keep up with the pricing strategies of major retailers. Having real-time insights into competitor pricing is crucial for dynamic pricing and maintaining competitiveness.

Our client, a small e-commerce business specializing in consumer electronics, approached us with a clear goal: to implement a system for daily price monitoring of products sold by large distributors like ALZA.cz and DATART.cz. By leveraging this data, the client aimed to optimize their pricing strategies and stay competitive in the rapidly changing market.

The Challenge

The client needed a tailored solution to address the following requirements:

  1. Daily price monitoring – frequent updates on prices for a predefined set of products.
  2. Coverage of major competitors – tracking prices on ALZA.cz and DATART.cz.
  3. Dynamic pricing support – providing actionable data to enable automated or semi-automated pricing adjustments.
  4. Accurate and reliable data – ensuring the extracted information is complete, up-to-date, and error-free.
  5. Flexible format – delivering the data in formats such as Excel or JSON, which could be seamlessly integrated into the client’s internal systems.

Our Solution

To meet the client’s requirements, we developed a robust system for price monitoring and data delivery. Our solution involved the following steps:

1. Identifying Data Sources and Structure
  • We conducted an in-depth analysis of ALZA.cz and DATART.cz to understand their website structures and identify the necessary product details, such as:
    • Product name and ID.
    • Current price.
    • Discounts or promotions.
    • Stock availability.
2. Developing Custom Web Scraping Tools
  • Custom scrapers were created to handle the complexities of both websites, ensuring data extraction was accurate and efficient.
  • The tools were configured to extract and consolidate data from over 500 products tracked daily across multiple categories.
  • Our system was optimized for speed and reliability, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted data flow.
3. Data Processing and Transformation
  • After collection, the data was cleaned and structured to ensure uniformity and ease of analysis.
  • We developed algorithms to highlight key insights, such as:
    • Price differences between competitors.
    • Historical price trends.
    • Products with significant price changes or promotions.
4. Delivery and Integration
  • The processed data was delivered to the client in Excel and JSON formats, allowing for direct integration with their dynamic pricing tools.
  • A master file provided a consolidated view of all monitored products, while additional files segmented the data by product categories or competitors.
5. Automation and Updates
  • The system was designed to perform automated daily scrapes, ensuring the client always had access to up-to-date information.
  • We provided a dashboard for monitoring the status of scrapes and reviewing historical data, giving the client full control over their insights.
