Automatic price monitoring: track competitor prices, dynamically adjust, and protect margins — fully automated.

The Problem

In e-commerce, prices change hourly. Competitors adjust their offers dynamically, marketplaces favor cheaper sellers in search results, and customers compare prices with a single click. If you do not regularly check competitor prices, you either lose revenue (too expensive) or margin (too cheap).

Manual price monitoring is simply impossible with more than 20 products. If you sell 200 products on three marketplaces, you would need to perform 600 price comparisons daily. No human can do that — and by the time the data is collected, it is already outdated.

Without systematic price monitoring, there is also no basis for strategic decisions: Which products have the highest price sensitivity? Where do competitors systematically undercut? Where can margins be increased without losing sales? Without data, these remain gut decisions.

The Solution

Our price monitoring workflow automatically crawls competitor prices on all relevant marketplaces and compares them with your current offers. Results are presented in a dashboard that shows you at a glance where you are more expensive or cheaper than the competition.

Optionally, automatic pricing rules can be set: always 2% below the cheapest competitor, but never below 15% margin. Or: price leader on Amazon, premium price in your own shop. Rules are executed automatically — you maintain full control over the strategy.

Historical price data enables trend analysis: When do competitors lower their prices? Which products are seasonally price-sensitive? A weekly pricing report summarizes key insights and suggests price adjustments.
