Case Study: Australia’s Leading Retailer achieves comprehensive competitor pricing & assortment visibility with Price2Spy Web Crawler

Australia’s Leading Retailer - Customer Case Study

Australia’s Leading Retailer, a long-established national chain with more than 50 years in business, 186 stores and over 20,000 members, faced a fast-changing, highly competitive market where rivals frequently changed prices and assortments. They needed reliable, large-scale intelligence on competitors’ assortments, campaigns and promotions, but many target sites were technically challenging (bot-aware, CAPTCHA-protected and location-sensitive), making automated data collection difficult. Price2Spy’s Web Crawler was engaged to meet this need.

Price2Spy deployed its advanced Web Crawler to extract detailed product-level data (names, URLs, descriptions, categories, list/sale prices, brand info, ratings, etc.) and delivered Excel files covering more than 500,000 products; the retailer selected items and imported them into Price2Spy for daily price and availability monitoring. As a result, the retailer gained a comprehensive, up-to-date view of competitor assortments and pricing, enabling faster assortment expansion and more informed promotion and pricing decisions.
