Discover how Actowiz Solutions helped UAE retailers capture White Friday demand with real-time price and stock scraping across Amazon.ae, Noon & Carrefour.
White Friday in the UAE—the region’s equivalent of Black Friday—has become the biggest eCommerce sales event of the year. Every November, millions of shoppers log on to Amazon.ae, Noon, and Carrefour are hunting for discounts on smartphones, TVs, laptops, household products, and FMCG essentials.
The sales window is short, but the stakes are high. A delay in price adjustment or a sudden stockout can mean losing thousands of orders to a competitor. Retailers who once relied on manual tracking now realize that only real-time eCommerce scraping and competitive analytics can give them the visibility needed to win.
This case study explains how Actowiz Solutions helped UAE retailers capitalize on the White Friday surge by monitoring pricing, stock availability, and promotions across Noon, Amazon.ae, and Carrefour in real-time.
During White Friday 2024, sales across the UAE spiked by nearly 200% compared to regular weeks. Electronics and FMCG categories led the surge, with iPhones, gaming consoles, detergents, and coffee brands disappearing from carts within minutes.
But the challenges for retailers were immense:
For UAE retailers, survival depended on scraping eCommerce product listings, tracking availability badges, monitoring competitor discounts, and reacting to changes instantly.
To address these challenges, Actowiz Solutions deployed its advanced data scraping infrastructure to deliver real-time market intelligence across Amazon.ae, Noon, and Carrefour.
The intelligence was delivered via real-time APIs into retailer dashboards, alongside Excel/CSV feeds for analytics teams. Automated alerts were configured to fire whenever a competitor dropped prices by more than 5% or when high-demand SKUs went out of stock.
The strategy was rolled out in three stages:
Actowiz analyzed historical White Friday data from 2022 and 2023 to identify likely high-demand SKUs. Popular categories, such as iPhones, PlayStations, detergent bundles, perfumes, and chocolates, were prioritized for monitoring.
Crawlers were set to refresh every 15 minutes, scraping Amazon.ae, Noon, and Carrefour product pages for pricing, stock, and promotional changes. Flash sales were captured the moment they went live.
Dashboards enabled retailers to compare their pricing with Amazon and Noon instantly. If a competitor goes out of stock, Actowiz alerts notify clients to push ads or highlight availability on their own channels.
