Online Price Monitoring Tools? Old-fashioned, too expensive, and probably not that useful

Are you still monitoring online prices the old way?

Nowadays, brands and resellers are monitoring their products online: prices, reviews, availability, etc. It’s not even a question to keep control on their strategy. However, this is done in a very limited way.

Why?

Because of the existing poor offers on the market: limited and old-school tools only. At Koopol, we are convinced that even using AI or any other buzzwords, these existing solutions force the users to compromises, and by nature, they miss the main objectives: boost performances by knowing the market.

Existing (old-fashioned) tools

From low- to high-range of prices, the existing tools are applying the same onboarding:

The user has to list products (from its catalogue and/or from competitors), gather, and structure the data. Same for resellers to track.

Since monitoring a high volume of products, and resellers will cost a limb, the user will make compromises on products and resellers volume.

Remember, when next collections, if any, arrive the whole process restarts.

What about other resellers and products?

What about compromises?

What time of maintenance?

How long to gather and structure data?

This is old-fashioned, time to move on. Stop compromising, stop losing time in selecting, and gathering data. Focus on selling. Modern users know it.
