Use Case

Data-driven product and market monitoring

Herausforderung

Ein internationaler Grosshändler mit einem umfangreichen Produktportfolio steht vor der Herausforderung, Preise, Verfügbarkeiten und Markttrends effizient zu überwachen.

Dabei sind zahlreiche Faktoren zu berücksichtigen:
- Welche Retailer bieten welche Produkte zu welchem Preis an?
- Welche Rabatte werden und wie häufig angeboten?
- Wie gestalten sich die Angebote der Konkurrenz hinsichtlich Sortiment, Preisstruktur und Vertriebskanäle?

Obwohl viele dieser Informationen öffentlich oder über Partner verfügbar sind, sind sie oft auf zahlreiche Quellen verteilt. Eine manuelle Sammlung und Analyse ist zeitaufwendig, fehleranfällig und ineffizient.

Grenzen aktueller Lösungen

Der Kunde arbeitet derzeit mit einem globalen Anbieter zusammen, der eine standardisierte Lösung für alle Länder bietet.
Allerdings ist die Datenqualität für die Schweiz unzureichend, um fundierte geschäftliche Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Alternativ wäre eine manuelle Datensammlung möglich, doch diese ist ineffizient und mit erheblichem Aufwand verbunden.

Price calculation
Our solution recognises promotional prices, takes into account additional costs such as recycling fees and VAT and calculates effective final prices. Shipping costs are also included in the calculations.
Successor device determination
If a product is no longer available, our solution recognises this and seamlessly replaces it with the appropriate successor product. The historical statistics for the old product are continued so that there are no gaps in the data. This ensures continuous and consistent analyses without the customer having to make any manual adjustments.
Visualisation and reporting
The data is provided on a daily basis and stored historically. By connecting to tools such as Power BI, trends and developments can be clearly visualised.
API-Interface
All recorded data is made available to the customer via an API so that it can be combined with internal company data and processed further. Sensitive information always remains in the customer's internal infrastructure.
