Market Intelligence, Competition, Price & Availability Monitoring
Scanning e-commerce websites continuously for changes in price, new listings, and availability can yield insights and big competitive gains.
Works in almost any market imaginable (we’ve built such projects for retailers, in real estate, building equipment, airlines and more)
Extracting Data for Lead Enrichment & Lead Generation
Improve your marketing efforts with data that’s available on the web, but needs extraction and structuring at a scale that cannot be done by hand.
Complex Automation - Where RPA tools fail
That’s anything that does extracting and structuring data from the web and/or automating web interaction – just contact us and we can discuss what can be done.
Typical uses are integration with or data recovery from legacy systems, technology and security scans and much more …
You Need Us For:
Complex Data
You have complex data that needs intense restructuring and cleanup
Crawling at Scale
You need scraping / crawling at scale … millions of records in short time – if anybody can do it, it is us … example: 25 mio records from a big retailer’s site every 2 days for monitoring
Highly Unstructured Data
The data is highly unstructured and requires the use of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and Deep Learning algorithms for cleanup and restructuring
Data Integration
You need the data prepared and imported into database structures ranging from MySQL to complex Hadoop or Spark clusters
Difficult Data Extraction
The data source is difficult to extract? Others have failed already? Due to scraping protection? – We know the strongest scraping protection systems on the market and can handle them)
Unfriendly Technologies
You need us to handle sites that use massive Ajax, Javascript, ASP or other Scraping- or Crawling-unfriendly technologies? In most cases we can work around this without resorting to slow Browser emulation.
