Case Study: Price Comparison ISV achieves 5x faster retail data acquisition with Connotate

Price Comparison ISV - Customer Case Study

The Price Comparison ISV, which connects over 40 million shoppers each month with millions of products across the U.S. and Europe, needed a faster way to add new retailers’ products to its site. Its outsourced, custom-built web crawlers were too slow, often taking weeks to script and deploy new crawlers as retail data on the web grew rapidly.

Connotate implemented an automated web data extraction and scraping solution on-premise to handle thousands of sites and continuously update structured data. With Connotate, the Price Comparison ISV began assimilating data from new retailers, brands, and products 5 times faster than before, while also reducing IT maintenance costs and dependence on outsourced development timetables.
