Real-Time Regional Insights with Customizable E-commerce Dashboards

Overview

As e-commerce competition intensifies, sellers on Shopify and Amazon face increasing pressure to adjust their pricing strategies in real time. With price wars, constant algorithm changes, and seasonal demand shifts, sellers must stay agile to win the buy box, maximize conversions, and maintain healthy profit margins.

This case study explores how Actowiz Solutions empowered multiple e-commerce businesses to implement dynamic pricing and competitor monitoring strategies using real-time data scraping from Amazon and Shopify marketplaces. The result? Higher visibility, better margins, and improved customer retention.

The Challenge

E-commerce sellers encounter several key pricing and market visibility issues:

  • Inconsistent pricing intelligence Manual checks are inefficient and outdated
  • No real-time alerts when competitors adjust discounts, bundles, or availability
  • Inability to detect MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) violations
  • Difficulty syncing pricing between Shopify stores and Amazon listings
  • Missed buy box opportunities due to static pricing or slow response

These challenges affect both large-scale resellers and private-label Shopify brands, especially in hyper-competitive niches like beauty, supplements, gadgets, and apparel.

Solution by Actowiz Solutions

Actowiz Solutions developed a customized competitor monitoring and dynamic pricing engine powered by real-time data scraping from:

  • Amazon (US, UK, CA, DE marketplaces)
  • Shopify-based D2C websites
  • Other comparison platforms (e.g., Walmart, Target, BestBuy)

The solution consisted of three modules:

  • 1. Competitor Monitoring Dashboard
  • 2. Dynamic Pricing API Integration
  • 3. MAP Violation Alerts & Analytics

Key Features Implemented

ASIN-based Scraping Extract data for competitor ASINs (title, price, seller, reviews, stock)
Shopify Price Sync Compare Shopify prices with Amazon dynamically
Repricing Rules Engine Adjust own pricing using pre-set thresholds or competitor match logic
Buy Box Tracker Track which seller holds the Buy Box and under what conditions
