What is price monitoring?

Price monitoring is the ongoing recording and structuring of prices, price changes and history at product level, giving you an overview without manually looking up prices whenever you want to understand a change.

From a single price to trends

Why manual price checks do not scale

Manual price checks may be simple for a few products. As products, retailers and markets multiply, spotting changes and seeing what matters becomes harder.

  • Prices change between manual checks
  • History is easily lost in spreadsheets and individual notes
  • Prioritising products that need attention becomes difficult
  • A shared system makes follow-up more consistent
