Product Intelligence

We support titles, descriptions, categorizations, including GTIN/ASIN, images, A+ content, ratings, and reviews. Our insights enable you to assess the impact of promotions, inventory, shipping, and fulfillment on customer satisfaction.

You can monitor competitor assortment, pricing, and promotions to optimize price and offers. Prices can be managed across Google, Bing, marketplaces, direct-to-consumer, and 3rd party sellers.

We compare products in your catalog to every competitor we find and verify the match accuracy of your products through a combination of automated and manual data quality checks. Using software (AI) empowered automated product matching, we match your products against data from eCommerce databases by comparing part numbers, brand names, variants, case packs, and images. We also use human in the loop for quality assurance. Products are matched automatically in “high-confidence” scenarios. Data Analysts manually research “moderate” or “low-confidence” scenarios.

If you are trying to buy a Nike Air Jordan white size 10 shoe, you will price shop exactly on that SKU. You may browse Foot Locker, DSW, Amazon, Walmart and others. You will want to know how much that exact SKU costs and purchase the one with the lowest price.

If you are DSW and want to offer the lowest price, you want to understand how much Foot Locker is selling that shoe for. You don’t want to understand how much a size 11 or a size 9, or a yellow Nike Air Jordan costs.

Your competitive price data must be exact at the SKU level so you can reprice. If you don’t get competitive price data exact at an SKU level, you will reprice based on the wrong shoe. And if your strategy as DSW is to offer the lowest price, you will be unable to as Foot Locker may still be the lowest on that SKU and price-shopping buyers will not buy from you.
