“I saw it cheaper elsewhere”
The line comes up at the till or on the phone, and you have no way of checking it, or of knowing since when.
Online shop · competitor price monitoring
At the frequency you choose, my system checks your competitors' prices on the products that matter to you, detects changes, and alerts you when a decision is needed: an aggressive price cut, a stock-out on their side, a margin gap that's widening.
This is for you if…
The line comes up at the till or on the phone, and you have no way of checking it, or of knowing since when.
Checking your competitors' prices by hand across your whole catalogue is a job in itself. So nobody does it, or does it once a quarter, which is as good as never.
Too expensive, you lose the sale. Too aggressive, you burn margin for nothing. Without data, every price is a gamble.
What you get
Every week
for over a year
On my own e-commerce business, price monitoring has run every week for over a year. It follows a major retailer's prices on my own catalogue. It's my testing ground, and the same system can be set up on your competitors, at the frequency you choose.
The price
I size the monitoring to what you actually need to watch: number of competitors, of products, frequency of checks. If a handful of products are enough to protect you, I'll tell you, even if it means selling you less.

Your monitoring scope defined, then the firm price of the setup in writing, valid for 60 days
Firm price handed over in writing after the scoping call, valid for 60 days. The monitoring then runs as a subscription (checks, maintenance when a competitor site changes, report), cancellable with 30 days' notice; its price is handed over with the setup price.

Frequently asked questions
Public prices displayed online are public data; comparison sites and major retailers do this continuously. I only collect publicly accessible information, at a reasonable pace that respects the sites visited.
The ones you want to follow. The scope (competitors, products, marketplaces, frequency of checks) is set at the scoping call, and its firm price is handed to you in writing. Deep catalogues are my original stomping ground.
Technically yes (repricing), and I can wire it in at a second stage with strict safeguards (floor margin, limits). But I recommend starting with two or three months of observation: you automate a pricing policy once it exists, not before.
Because monitoring needs upkeep: competitor sites change structure, add products, redesign their pages. The subscription pays for checks at the frequency you chose, maintenance when a site changes, and the report. Without that upkeep, monitoring eventually stops without warning. The subscription is cancellable with 30 days' notice; its price is handed over with the setup price.
Several retail brands, or several companies in different markets, means several monitoring scopes and a consolidated comparison on top. The scope is costed at the scoping call, and you then decide company by company or as a block.
