Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)

Who they are: A D2C or FMCG brand whose products sell through 10-minute delivery apps, where price and availability change many times a day and vary by neighbourhood (dark store).

Team structure: A q-commerce / channel / revenue team responsible for share, availability, and pricing across quick-commerce platforms.

Core pain points:

• Prices and stock status change intraday — a daily snapshot is already stale by lunch.
• Availability differs dark-store by dark-store, so a single "in stock" national view hides local stockouts.
• Competitors run flash discounts that appear and vanish within hours.
• No visibility into share-of-shelf or where the brand is being out-listed locally.

What success looks like: A live, location-aware view of price, availability, and competitor activity across every quick-commerce platform — refreshed through the day, not once.

The Client (anonymized)

The client is a fast-growing packaged-goods brand selling across India's major quick-commerce platforms. Identifying details are withheld; all figures below are illustrative of the engagement's scale and outcomes.

The Challenge

Quick commerce broke the client's existing monitoring. Their old daily price report — built for traditional e-commerce — simply couldn't keep up with a channel that reprices and restocks several times a day, differently in every locality.

Three problems surfaced fast:

• Intraday blindness. A 9 AM snapshot said "in stock at ₹99." By 2 PM the product was out of stock in half the dark stores and a competitor had dropped to ₹89. The team learned about it from a sales dip, not from data.
• Location-level stockouts. National availability looked healthy at "94% in stock," but that average hid pockets where the brand was out of stock in entire cities — exactly where ad spend was still running.
• Flash-promo invisibility. Competitor flash discounts lived for 3–4 hours. Daily scraping never saw them, so the team couldn't respond.

The Solution

Actowiz Solutions built an intraday quick-commerce intelligence pipeline covering the client's catalog across Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart:

• Multiple refreshes per day. Instead of one snapshot, the catalog is captured several times daily, so intraday price moves and stockouts are actually seen.
• Dark-store / pincode-level availability. Data is collected across representative locations, turning a single national number into a map of where the brand is available — and where it isn't.
• Real-time out-of-stock alerts. When a high-priority SKU goes out of stock in a monitored location, the team is alerted immediately — not the next morning.
• Competitor price & promo tracking. Competitor prices, discounts, and flash promos are captured through the day, so short-lived moves are logged and flagged.
• Share-of-shelf signals. Where the brand ranks and appears versus competitors, location by location.
