Our Client

One of the world’s top Fortune 500 retailers operating in:

• grocery
• electronics
• beauty
• home improvement
• consumer goods
• apparel

With thousands of stores and massive e-commerce operations, accurate and timely pricing intelligence is mission-critical for staying competitive.

The retailer’s pricing team needed a scalable, automated way to monitor competitors and maintain price leadership across multiple regions.

The Challenge

Before partnering with Actowiz Solutions, the client faced several major issues:

1. Slow and outdated competitor monitoring

Their internal tools scraped too slowly, meaning they were often reacting to competitor price changes hours or days late, costing millions in lost margin.

2. Price variations across markets were not unified

Different regions had:

• different promotions
• different discounts
• different stock statuses
• different product variants

This made centralized decision-making extremely difficult.

3. Manual intervention was becoming unmanageable

Their team was manually reconciling:

• duplicate SKUs
• product variants
• mismatched categories
• incomplete price fields

This wasted hundreds of hours each month.

4. Their previous vendor couldn’t scale

The retailer outgrew their older scraping partner because:

• product coverage was low
• websites constantly broke
• re-runs took too long
• support response was slow
• new competitors couldn’t be added quickly

They needed enterprise-grade price intelligence, not piecemeal scraping.

The Solution

Actowiz Solutions built a fully automated Enterprise Price Intelligence Platform specifically designed for retailers with massive SKU catalogs.

1. High-frequency crawling across 17 countries

The Actowiz engine performs:

• hourly price checks
• real-time surge detection

across thousands of categories and competitor websites.

2. Normalized price fields for every SKU

Regardless of platform structure, Actowiz delivers:

• MRP

Reducing the retailer’s manual workload by 90%.
