Manual price tracking is a strategic bottleneck
Manually monitoring prices across dozens of websites is impossible at scale. Data is scattered, obsolete upon collection, and analysis takes forever. Your team spends more time compiling spreadsheets than defining an effective pricing strategy.
Main negative impacts:
Zero commercial reactivity
Discovering a price change 24 hours late means losing market share and conversion opportunities.
High operational costs
Time spent by analysts manually scraping sites is a waste of high-value human resources.
Fragmented and unreliable data
Without automation, manual errors and lack of structure render your market analysis useless for decision-makers.
Swiftask orchestrates ScrapingBot to automatically extract prices from your targets. Our AI analyzes this data and triggers alerts or automatic adjustments, ensuring constant market intelligence.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Before automation
An analyst spends 3 hours every morning browsing competitor sites, copying prices into a table, and trying to compare data. Errors are common, and decisions are based on a partial view of the market.
With Swiftask + ScrapingBot
ScrapingBot extracts prices continuously. Swiftask receives the data, identifies pricing anomalies, and sends you an intelligent summary in Slack or via email. You make decisions based on fresh, accurate data.
Setting up your pricing intelligence in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Define targets in ScrapingBot
Configure the URLs and elements to extract via the ScrapingBot interface to precisely target your competitors' prices.
2
STEP 2 : Connect ScrapingBot to Swiftask
Integrate your ScrapingBot data feeds into Swiftask to centralize the ingestion of extracted information.
3
STEP 3 : Configure AI analysis
Define the comparison rules (e.g., price gap > 5%) that your AI agent should monitor daily.
4
STEP 4 : Automate alerts
Enable automatic notifications to your preferred channels as soon as a significant variation is detected.
