iDatica - competitor price monitoring and pricing automation platform

In the rapidly changing e-commerce market, where even a minor price adjustment can impact sales and customer loyalty, having control over market information is not just an advantage—it's a necessity.

iDatica is a cloud-based B2B SaaS platform designed for automatic monitoring of competitor prices and product offerings. The platform caters to the needs of small and medium-sized businesses in e-commerce and retail.

iDatica helps online stores, marketplaces, and retail chains respond quickly to market changes, formulate competitive pricing strategies, and make data-driven decisions.

iDatica key features

Automated data collection

One of iDatica's primary functions is the daily collection of competitor prices and other product information. The platform automatically scans competitor websites and aggregates data on:

  • Current prices
  • Product availability
  • Names and SKUs
  • Promotions and discounts

iDatica supports flexible configuration of data sources and frequency of price checks, which is particularly crucial for businesses operating in highly competitive environments with fast-changing assortments and prices.

Analytics and reporting

The platform provides clear reports and dashboards that allow managers to quickly assess the market situation. Key analytical tools include:

  • Price comparison by categories and brands
  • Historical data and price change dynamics
  • Market position metrics, including average and minimum prices, and availability status
  • Discount indices, including historical data for tracking promotion periods
  • Price index considering product baskets and competitor baskets
  • Export of analytics to Excel, CSV, and API integrations

These reports not only highlight price discrepancies (lagging or leading) but also help identify niches for growth.

Alerts and notifications

A system of customizable notifications ensures prompt reactions to changes. Users can receive:

  • Notifications of competitor price drops
  • Alerts on product availability
  • Notifications about dumping

Alerts are available as email notifications and within the platform itself.

Dynamic pricing

For companies aiming for maximum automation, iDatica platform offers dynamic pricing capabilities. Users can set rules (e.g., "keep price 5% below market average" or "do not drop below minimum margin")—and the system will automatically generate recommended prices or transmit them via API. This minimizes human error and allows for flexible real-time price management.

Product matching

Matching your products with competitor products is key to accurate pricing decisions and precise market analysis.

For identical products, iDatica platform offers automatic matching using own proprietary technologies, including characteristic-based search, semantic and visual search, and artificial intelligence. This ensures nearly 100% accuracy for large catalogs, saving you time.

If automatic matching isn't sufficient or if you need to match similar products (e.g., under your private label), content managers will manually identify matches. They meticulously analyze names, characteristics, images, and prices, guaranteeing maximum accuracy.

Business benefits

Increased competitiveness and profitability

Timely information on prices and promotions allows for rapid strategy adaptation and maintaining competitive positions. This is critical in segments where price competition is a key success factor.

Time and resource savings

iDatica platform automates routine tasks—data collection, verification, and structuring. This reduces the workload on your team, allowing them to focus on analysis and strategy rather than manual competitor price monitoring.

Identification of market opportunities

Through assortment analysis and price dynamics, the platform helps:

  • Discover scarce products in the market
  • Find entry points into underserved segments
  • Forecast price trends

This is particularly valuable when planning purchases and launching new products.

Conclusion

iDatica is a powerful analytical tool for companies seeking to make informed decisions based on market data. The platform combines price information collection, analytics, automation, and flexible alerts, providing users with everything needed for an effective pricing strategy.
