The client, a leading luxury store chain operating in over 100 countries, was facing challenges in analyzing the pricing policies of their competitors. They were using a third-party platform to retrieve competitors’ pricing data to develop their own pricing strategies and increase sales. However, the platform had limitations in expanding the number of competitors in pricing reports and had an insufficient accuracy level. The products mentioned in the reports matched the client’s products only by 70%. Moreover, the solution did not meet the client's accuracy requirements as it generated reports only on a daily basis and lacked real-time reporting. The client needed a solution that could provide near real-time reporting and more accurate competitor pricing data to improve their pricing strategies.

N-iX developed a new product pricing platform for the client that analyzes competitor product prices and provides near real-time reporting. The team conducted extensive Product Discovery to understand functional and business requirements, analyzed competitors, designed architecture diagrams, and prepared the microservices architecture design. They also created the platform’s UI/UX look according to the client’s needs. The solution developed was a microservices-based product pricing platform that provides insights about prices on luxury products set by their competitors. It allows the client to create date requests to get data from the competitors’ websites based on the specified market, currency, brand, product category, and product name. The pricing information is collected with the help of web scraping, where a bot automatically fetches the prices from the competitors’ websites and stores information in the database. The solution also allows generating Excel reports, which include product names, website links, and prices for both the client and their competitor.
