Introduction:

In today’s retail landscape, Amazon dictates the pace of price wars. With hourly updates to product pricing based on competitor behavior, stock levels, algorithmic repricing, and promotions, brands need to monitor shifts in real time to remain competitive.

Actowiz Solutions partnered with a global electronics and personal care brand to track hourly price drops on Amazon across 600+ SKUs, providing live alerts, trend dashboards , and automation-ready data pipelines for their pricing and sales teams.

Objective

Objectives-01
  • Monitor Amazon product prices every hour, 24x7, for 600+ tracked SKUs.
  • Detect sudden price drops, flash discounts, and algorithmic repricing events.
  • Compare with internal MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) rules.
  • Feed data into internal repricing tools and BI dashboards.

Challenges

  • Amazon changes prices frequently, sometimes within minutes during campaign hours.
  • Sponsored listings and A/B testing cause price inconsistencies across users and sessions.
  • Scraping must mimic buyer behavior to bypass anti-bot measures.

Actowiz Solutions’ Strategy:

1. High-Frequency Price Extraction:

  • Built a crawler with 60-minute intervals for selected ASINs.
  • Simulated buyer sessions using rotating IPs, mobile + desktop user agents.
  • Tracked price, availability, seller name (1P vs 3P), Prime eligibility, and promotions.

2. Real-Time Alert System:

3. Historical Price Movement Tracking:

  • Logged all price movements with timestamp and seller ID.
  • Provided hourly and daily snapshots for audit trails.
  • Tracked price, availability, seller name (1P vs 3P), Prime eligibility, and promotions.

Sample Output:

ASIN Product Name Timestamp Current Price Previous Price Drop % Seller Prime In Stock
B08XW9P4J1 Bluetooth Speaker X 2025-06-06 09:00 AM $59.99 $69.99 14.3% Amazon.com Yes Yes
