Unlock catalog intelligence with real-time market insight

Yes. Bundle detection looks for tell-tale cues such as “with case,” “2-pack,” or quantity multipliers in titles and feature bullets, then cross-verifies against atypical weight or dimension values. Refurbished or “open-box” items are flagged through sentiment analysis of listing condition notes, warranty language, and category placement (e.g., Amazon Renewed). Once an item is tagged as bundle or refurb, it’s routed to a separate comparison track so your KPIs and competitive gaps aren’t skewed by apples-to-oranges data.

Beyond raw overlap percentages, the dashboard visualises SKU clusters where you under-index, over-index, or price above market median. Heatmaps reveal which attributes (e.g., screen size, colorway) outperform in competitor listings but are absent in yours. A content-quality score ranks every title, bullet set, and hero image against best-in-class listings so writers know which pages to refresh first. Exportable pivot tables let category managers simulate “what-if” scenarios—adding or dropping suppliers, to gauge the impact on share of shelf before committing inventory dollars.

Default cadence is daily, giving you a fresh delta every 24 hours. High-velocity verticals, electronics, fashion flash sales, often opt for an hourly or even 30-minute sweep, enabled by geo-distributed crawlers that spin up only when needed to contain costs. You can mix cadences: mission-critical SKUs monitored in near-real-time, long-tail items on a twice-weekly pass. All schedules are managed through a slider in the settings panel or via an API call, making it easy to throttle up during peak seasons and down in quieter periods.

The platform builds a “supplier scorecard” for every vendor, blending price stability, stock depth, lead-time variance, and content quality. You walk into negotiations armed with hard numbers: how often a supplier’s price spikes vs. the market median, how quickly they restock, and how their listings perform on competing sites. This data shifts talks from anecdote to evidence, enabling you to secure better payment terms, exclusivity windows, or co-op marketing funds. Brands also appreciate the feedback loop, highlighting where their products are misrepresented, so your relationship evolves from buyer-seller to collaborative growth partner.

Absolutely. Crawlers respect robots.txt directives and rate-limit requests to stay beneath tolerance thresholds, mimicking human browsing patterns to avoid service disruption. For regions governed by directives like the EU’s Database Directive or country-specific scraping laws, the system switches to approved proxy endpoints or licensed data brokers, ensuring legal compliance. All raw HTML snapshots are stored for 30 days and then purged, while derivative data (prices, titles, stock status) is retained under GDPR-compliant policies with full audit logs, so your legal and compliance teams have a clear chain of custody at every step.
