Price and Stock Monitor

Daily competitor PDP crawl. Out-of-stock and price-drop alerts in real time.

Why we built it

In eCommerce, a competitor going out of stock is a 24 to 48 hour bidding window for paid search. Most teams find out via end-of-week reports. This catches it the morning of.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Crawl competitor PDPs

    Nightly Screaming Frog crawl across the competitor product page set at 5AM EET. The PDP set is curated per client and versioned in the config.

  2. 02

    Diff price and availability

    Pulls price and availability from the JSON-LD on each page. Diffs against yesterday's snapshot. Flags out-of-stock transitions and price drops above the threshold.

  3. 03

    Alert on movement

    When a competitor goes out of stock or drops price, sends a Slack and email alert to the client and their PPC team with the SKU, the old value, and the new value.
