Real-Time Regional Insights with Customizable E-commerce Dashboards

Overview

Japan’s capital, Tokyo, is leading the digital shift in grocery shopping, with a surge in online orders, flash sales, and regional competition. For global retailers and FMCG brands planning to expand into Japan, understanding price behavior, discount patterns, and local consumer trends is essential.

A global food brand approached Actowiz Solutions to create a data-driven market entry strategy for Tokyo’s online grocery segment. Through advanced web scraping of Rakuten and AEON, we delivered real-time, structured insights into pricing, stock levels, and promotions—enabling the client to build a competitive launch plan tailored for Tokyo’s fast-moving grocery space.

Client Profile

  • Type: Global FMCG brand entering the Japanese market
  • Target Market: Tokyo metropolitan area
  • Goal: Use real-time online grocery data to assess pricing, promotion trends, and consumer behavior before launch
  • Challenge: No local price intelligence, limited understanding of competitive positioning on platforms like Rakuten and AEON

Objectives

Key-Challenges

1. Extract real-time grocery product pricing from Rakuten Tokyo and AEON Tokyo

2. Identify top-performing SKUs, brands, and categories by region

3. Track flash sales, stock-outs, and loyalty promotions

4. Use data to shape pricing, discounting, and bundling strategy for Tokyo’s grocery launch

Key Insights Uncovered

Key-Challenges
1. Price Sensitivity

Products like instant noodles, bottled teas, and sauces showed price variances up to 8–12% between Rakuten and AEON.

2. Promotion Windows

Flash discounts on Rakuten lasted for as little as 6 hours, while AEON favored longer, weekend-based promotions.

3. Private Label Positioning

AEON private labels were priced 15–20% lower than similar branded items—an important factor in building local pricing strategy.

4. Category Insights

Top-performing grocery categories in Tokyo included:

  • Beverages (bottled teas, coffee cans)
  • Convenience snacks (chips, bento packs)
  • Sauces & condiments (soy, teriyaki, ponzu)

Sample Data Snapshot

Product Rakuten Price AEON Price Price Gap Action Triggered
Calbee Potato Chips 85g ¥138 ¥128 +7.8% Price Adjusted
Ito En Green Tea 500ml ¥115 ¥108 +6.5% Promo Matched
Nissin Udon Bowl ¥198 ¥195 +1.5% No Action
Meiji Milk Chocolate Bar ¥210 ¥198 +6% Repriced

Outcome for the Client

Key-Challenges
✅ Competitive Pricing Strategy

Real-time price comparisons helped the client price key SKUs within ±3% of the local market, ensuring immediate relevance at launch.

✅ Localized Promotion Calendar

By analyzing the timing of Rakuten flash deals and AEON campaigns, the client scheduled competitive offers that aligned with consumer habits.

✅ Product Mix Refinement

Using category-level performance data, the client prioritized 320 SKUs most aligned with Tokyo consumer trends, optimizing inventory.

✅ Smarter Bundling

Bundling recommendations were based on what AEON was promoting (e.g., soy sauce + udon + snacks), helping the client create culturally relevant product packs.

Client Testimonial

“Actowiz Solutions gave us the Tokyo market on a dashboard. Their scraped data revealed exactly how, when, and where we needed to compete—before we even launched.”
