Lighting - Price monitoring techniques in the lighting industry

Specifics

  • A surprisingly competitive industry, carrying out international operations (across many different countries, sometimes more than 20 countries) by very small and compact teams
  • On the other hand, a multitude of small players are emerging, most of them using alternative sales channels (like Amazon / eBay) which makes effective price monitoring even more challenging
  • This industry has highly standardized part numbers

Greatest challenges

  • In many cases product pricing comes in ‘tears’ (price A is applied when single product gets ordered, while price B counts for larger quantities). This brings another important requirement – capturing quantities / prices for each individual tear
  • As mentioned, this industry has standardized part numbers, meaning that Automatch is possible in most cases. However, some of the manufacturers have really short part numbers (for example: 8145) which can lead to potential mismatches. In such cases we usually go for additional Automatch validation – making sure that the brand name is a match as well

After that, the Automatch is performed, and the acquired data is sent back to the client
