The automotive sector faces intense competition. From spare parts to accessories, consumers now compare prices across multiple platforms before making a purchase. For brands and retailers, this creates a constant battle to stay competitive while maintaining profitability. Manual competitor tracking simply doesn’t cut it anymore.
In this case study, we explore how an automotive company achieved a 68% revenue increase by leveraging automated competitor monitoring—a solution that transformed their pricing strategy.
The Problem: Static Pricing in a Dynamic Market
Before implementing automation, the company relied on:
- Manual competitor checks (once or twice a week)
- Outdated spreadsheets
- Guess-based pricing decisions
This approach led to:
- Missed price drops by competitors
- Loss of customers during flash sales
- Reduced visibility on marketplaces
The Solution: Automated Competitor Monitoring
The company adopted Iconic Data Scrap’s competitor monitoring system, enabling real-time price tracking and dynamic pricing strategies.
Key Features Implemented:
- Real-time scraping of competitor sites
- Price alerts for instant action
- Data normalization for accurate comparisons
- Integrated dashboards for quick decision-making
How It Works
- Data Extraction: Competitor pricing was scraped automatically from major marketplaces and automotive retail sites.
- Normalization: Data was cleaned, standardized, and mapped to the client’s product SKUs.
- Alerts & Insights: The system flagged significant competitor price changes.
- Dynamic Adjustments: The pricing team made strategic changes immediately, keeping prices competitive without harming margins.
The Results: 68% Revenue Growth
Within six months, the impact was remarkable:
- Revenue increased by 68%
- Cart abandonment dropped by 30%
- Conversion rates improved by 22%
- Time spent on manual price checks reduced by 90%
What drove these results?
