How-Actowiz-Solutions-Enabled-Hyper-Local-Competitor-Benchmarking-Real-Time

Client Overview

Client-Overview
  • Client: Mid-sized consumer electronics brand based in Seattle, Washington
  • Industry: Smart Home Devices & Accessories
  • Channels: Amazon, Walmart, Target.com, Own DTC site
  • Operational Focus: Greater Seattle Area (King, Pierce, Snohomish counties)
  • Duration: 6-month engagement
  • Data Partner: Actowiz Solutions

The Problem

Operating in the same state as Amazon’s headquarters, Washington-based brands face immense pressure to compete with dynamic pricing, same-day delivery, and aggressive promotions.

The client faced two main issues

  • No visibility into competitor’s hourly pricing within their target ZIP codes
  • Inability to react to regional promotions or stock-driven price dips from local sellers on Amazon and Walmart

This blind spot was costing the brand thousands in lost Buy Box opportunities and was affecting their price positioning across King and Snohomish counties.

The Actowiz Approach: ZIP-Based Price Intelligence

Actowiz Solutions deployed a hyper-local web scraping strategy focused on hourly data extraction and competitive benchmarking from:

  • Amazon.com (via ZIP code-based delivery simulation)
  • Walmart.com (local store & online pricing)
  • Competitor DTC websites

The solution collected data for:

  • 300+ SKUs
  • 30 ZIP codes in Western Washington
  • 4 local competitors
  • Hourly snapshots (7 AM – 11 PM PST)

Data Fields Collected Per SKU

Parameter Source Example Value
ASIN / SKU Amazon B08ZXY1299
Product Title All Smart Thermostat v4
Current Price Amazon $79.99
Previous Price Amazon $89.99
Seller Name Amazon Amazon.com / 3P Seller
ZIP Code Tracked Simulated 98101 (Downtown Seattle)
Delivery Time Amazon Same-Day
Price Change Flag Calculated Decrease (-11.1%)
Competitor Price Walmart $76.49
Buy Box Status Amazon Amazon Holds Buy Box

Local ZIP Codes Tracked

Local ZIP Codes Tracked

  • Seattle (98101, 98103, 98109)
  • Bellevue (98004, 98005)
  • Redmond (98052)
  • Tacoma (98402)
  • Everett (98201, 98203)

Use Case 1: Smart Home Device Brand

Problem: Losing Buy Box due to undercutting by local resellers in Redmond and Bellevue.

Solution by Actowiz:

  • Detected that competitor “TechHive USA” lowered prices between 10 AM – 1 PM PST
  • Provided hourly feeds comparing Amazon and Walmart pricing by ZIP
  • Enabled brand to auto-adjust Amazon pricing in target ZIPs based on detected undercutting

Result:

Buy Box retention improved by 41% in Bellevue ZIPs (98004/98005), and average revenue from Amazon increased 18.6% in 45 days.

Use Case 2: Multi-SKU Brand Launch Strategy

Client Goal: Launch 3 new smart accessories with optimized regional pricing.

Actowiz Action:

  • Benchmarked 7 competitor SKUs across Seattle and Tacoma
  • Identified regional pricing thresholds (e.g., $49.99 was a psychological trigger in Tacoma, while $54.99 performed better in Seattle)
  • Modeled elasticity of pricing by ZIP and category

Result:

Launch campaign adjusted pricing dynamically by ZIP. Conversion rates improved by 22%, and customer support tickets related to pricing fairness dropped by 37%.

  • Adjust discount thresholds based on region-specific margins
  • Launch ZIP-focused promotional ads with better ROI

Actowiz Solutions empowers brands in Seattle and beyond to see, act, and lead faster, using localized pricing intelligence that mirrors how customers shop—by ZIP code, by hour, and by platform.
