- Lack of Market Price Positioning and Competitor Insights
We struggled to clearly understand our market price position. Without accurate data to compare our pricing against similar products, higher-end, and lower-end brands, we were unable to strategically position ourselves against competitors.
- Inaccurate Price Monitoring and Data Quality Issues
Our previous price monitoring provider delivered competitor data with less than 95% accuracy, falling short of our expectations. Poor data quality and incomplete competitor coverage led to misinformed pricing strategies and gaps in our market positioning.

Managing thousands of products with unreliable price monitoring data made it challenging to interpret market fluctuations. We needed a solution capable of processing large volumes of data and providing real-time, actionable insights to guide our pricing decisions.
