Apple Price & Availability Analytics on Amazon - How a Consumer Electronics Brand Gained Market Visibility

Introduction

In today’s competitive retail environment, maintaining profitability requires more than just adjusting prices reactively. Retailers need actionable insights into how their products are positioned in the market and how competitors adjust pricing across categories. Without a strategic approach, even small price mismatches can impact margins and erode market share. Actowiz Metrics collaborated with a leading retailer to deliver end-to-end Retail Price benchmarking solutions that not only helped them optimize margins but also stay competitive in a crowded landscape. By leveraging competitor price benchmarking analytics, the retailer was able to analyze market shifts in real time and respond proactively. This case study highlights how Actowiz transformed the client’s pricing model into a data-driven, competitive advantage, ensuring sustainable growth.

The Client

The Client

The client is a national retail chain with a strong footprint across grocery, household, and FMCG categories. With thousands of SKUs under management, they struggled to monitor competitor moves while balancing profitability and consumer value. Their existing systems lacked visibility, accuracy, and agility in price decision-making. While they had access to sales figures, they lacked the depth of retail price intelligence tools that could give them a clear market picture. Faced with mounting competition from both traditional retailers and eCommerce giants, the company needed a robust solution that would deliver clarity, automate monitoring, and support margin growth. Actowiz Metrics was chosen as their technology partner to integrate advanced analytics, automation, and scraping solutions for real-time visibility into competitor and category-level dynamics.

Key Challenges

Key Challenges

One of the major difficulties faced by the client was limited access to holistic competitor insights. Manual price tracking was inefficient, error-prone, and slow. Without data-driven price benchmarking, they couldn’t effectively analyze how their SKUs performed in comparison to rivals. Another challenge was dealing with dynamic pricing fluctuations across regions and product categories. The absence of AI-powered price monitoring tools meant the client often reacted late to competitor promotions, losing ground in sales volume. Their margin optimization efforts were further limited by the lack of structured data on competitive performance. Without accurate competitor margin tracking for retailers, they had no way to measure how rival strategies impacted their profitability. Additionally, the internal team lacked the technical expertise to scrape retail pricing data at scale. The inability to capture and interpret large datasets hindered smarter decision-making and left the retailer vulnerable in a margin-sensitive market.

Using SKU-level price benchmarking tools, Actowiz ensured the client gained detailed insights into product-level positioning, allowing for granular decision-making. The system also leveraged advanced retail pricing analytics to identify hidden patterns and opportunities across categories. By deploying custom pipelines for retail competitor pricing data scraping, the client gained consistent, structured insights into rival strategies. All this data was consolidated into interactive dashboards, making insights easily accessible and actionable across departments. With Actowiz’s support, the retailer transformed pricing from a reactive function into a strategic growth driver.
