Introduction

Dubai’s competitive quick commerce (Q-commerce) space demands speed, accuracy, and real-time decision-making. One of the region’s fastest-growing Q-commerce platforms faced rising challenges in pricing accuracy, promotional strategy, and customer retention.

Results & Outcomes

🔹 1. Real-Time Price Monitoring

The client gained hourly visibility into the prices of over 1,200 grocery SKUs in Dubai from Talabat and Carrefour. This enabled automatic re-pricing within ±5% of competitor rates.

🔹 2. Improved Conversion Rates

After deploying Actowiz’s dynamic pricing model:

  • Cart abandonment dropped by 16%
  • Conversion rate improved by 21% in price-sensitive categories (e.g., beverages, snacks, dairy)
🔹 3. Promotion Benchmarking

Actowiz’s scraping system flagged discount triggers like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” and “Flash Sale – 1 Hour Only.” These insights enabled the client to match or preempt promotions.

🔹 4. Stock Intelligence

Out-of-stock status was tracked in real-time. When Carrefour or Talabat ran out of popular SKUs, the client used it as a demand signal and increased visibility for similar products.
