CASE 05
RETAIL
Live retail analytics and automated product listing.
A retail team needed to prepare product data, update listings and monitor competitor pricing continuously, bringing the work into one sustainable workflow.
Client context
The client is a retail team continuously updating product data, listing content and market prices. The work spans different platform formats, product images and pricing fields, while management needs a current view of competitor price changes.
Data workProduct data and image preparation
Listing workflowPrepare content for each platform
Market monitoringPublic competitor prices
Original workflow
Listing formats and fields had to be converted repeatedly for different platforms
Competitor prices were checked page by page, making market changes difficult for management to see quickly
BOTTLENECK
Product listing and market monitoring relied on repetitive manual preparation. Updates lagged behind market changes and management lacked a clear basis for decisions.
What was built?
Standardise source product data into consistent fields and formats
Prepare and publish products according to platform requirements
Collect publicly available competitor prices and market data on a schedule
Summarise price changes and exceptions for management review
Results and measurement basis
Cases are anonymised and every metric includes its measurement basis rather than presenting a claim without context.
product listing preparation
The system prepares data using confirmed field mapping and platform rules, routing non-compliant items to staff for review.
competitor price monitoring
Publicly available data is collected on a defined schedule, with coverage and frequency set around operational needs.
market changes prepared for management
Collected pricing and changes are organised in one place. Reporting can be adapted to management needs.
What changed after launch
Product data is prepared automatically for each platform, accelerating day-to-day listings
Public competitor prices are collected on a schedule without page-by-page manual checks
Price movements and exceptions are presented in one place, helping management decide faster
