Price2Spy Testimonials

Price2Spy is by its nature a very discrete tool. For that reason, we will never disclose any of our clients' details.

Therefore, we will not be able to show too many testimonials nor success stories on this page. The ones we will show should just give you a brief idea on how Price2Spy can be used in your own case.

Ramcity - Australia's leading RAM dealer

This testimonial is published with client's (RamCity) explicit consent. Price2Spy will never publish any of our client's details unless we are given permission to do so.

Issues:

  • Extremely competitive, sensitive and volatile market;
  • 10 prime competitors to monitor;
  • Unable to extract data for Google AdWords.

The client – RamCity is one of Australia’s leading suppliers of computer memory and storage upgrades. Established in 2003, the company has been operating in the ever-changing market with great success. The client is now in need of reliable information on competitors’ actions according to which decisions concerning prices, promotions, etc. are made.

Solution:

  • Standard Price2Spy account used by RamCity to keep a close  eye on all price / product availability changes of its key competitors;
  • Web crawler – a non-standard Price2Spy service designed to meet the client’s particular needs (collecting data later to be used with Google AdWords)– ran through the site in order to collect the demanded data. Given the complex site structure and large number of products ( and yet larger number of URLs), web harvesting took several days. What made the whole process even more challenging was the IP address control because of which the crawler could have been blocked – meaning that our crawler had to ‘walk on its toes’.

 “I’ve been most impressed by the technical ability and timely service the Price2Spy team has provided to RamCity.” – Rod Bland – Ramcity CEO & Upgrade Evangelist

Our own success story - WEBCentric and it's Serbian Webshops

WEBCentric owns several (9, to be more precise) online stores operating in the Serbian market - which is very picky in terms of pricing and competition. Basically, Serbian customers are not that wealthy, and they compare very carefully all available stores in order to find the one with the lowest price. WEBCentric's focus was to keep its price on the low end, and therefore required a tool which would help keep prices up to date.

Therefore, we were spending hours and hours checking our competitors' Websites, finding out their price changes. It was taking more and more resources, and we saw no way out of it, until we figured out that we can make a tool which will do the hard work for us.

After 6 months of hard work, we came up with a tool which helped us increase our turnover by 35% (in less than 6 months time), while at the same time we freed up our product manager's time to perform more quality work, contact new suppliers, improve delivery quality, etc .

Needless to say, WEBCentric considers Price2Spy an ultimate business intelligence tool, which has become an integral part of our business decision making process.
