Overview
Scrapes competitor prices daily, detects changes, and sends AI-written insight reports.
The Challenge
TechMart Electronics operated in a highly competitive electronics market where competitors changed prices daily. Their pricing team spent hours each morning manually checking competitor websites and adjusting their own prices. By the time they reacted, they had already lost sales to cheaper listings.
Our Solution
We built PriceWatch, an automated competitor price monitoring system. Using Python and Playwright, it scrapes over 2,000 SKUs across 5 competitor websites daily. Pandas processes the data, detects meaningful price changes, and an AI agent writes a concise insight report explaining what changed and recommending response actions. Reports are delivered to Google Sheets and via email.
