PRICE, CATALOG AND STOCK MANAGEMENT

Black Friday and peak seasons represent one of the biggest opportunities of the year for online brands and retailers. But they are also times of maximum pressure: prices change in a matter of minutes, competition intensifies, and every mistake can directly impact sales.

To successfully navigate this, the key lies in the data. Having accurate and up-to-date information on catalog, stock, prices, and digital presence allows you to anticipate market trends and make smarter decisions.

At DIP Insights, we have prepared a new free white paper with a checklist that will help you assess whether your strategy is ready for peak demand times.

What will you find in this checklist?

The document summarizes the four fundamental pillars for successfully facing e-commerce peak seasons:

1. Catalog
   Check if your products have the necessary visibility and coverage across all digital channels.
2. Stock & Assortment
   Evaluate whether you have the optimal assortment to meet demand without compromising profitability.
3. Digital Shelf
   Analyze the consistency, positioning, and impact of your brand across different marketplaces and online stores.
4. Price intelligence
   Ensure your pricing strategies are dynamic, competitive, and aligned with market movements.

Prepare for peak sales periods with data and control

Each item on the checklist includes key questions that will help you identify opportunities for improvement and optimize your business strategy before the busiest days of the year arrive.

In today's digital environment, data capture and analysis have become the driving force of innovation and competitiveness. For e-commerce, the value of data goes far beyond collecting it: what truly makes the difference is the ability to extract reliable information, transform it into actionable insights, and make strategic decisions in real time.

What is web scraping and why is it key in e-commerce?

Web scraping is a technique that allows you to automatically extract information from websites, transforming large volumes of data into structured and useful knowledge. In e-commerce, this practice is essential for:

• Monitor competitor prices in real time.
• Analyze product assortments and availability at different retailers.
• Detect market trends before other players.
• Optimize pricing and catalog strategies based on reliable data.

In an industry where every second counts, data quality is critical. Incomplete, outdated, or unreliable data can lead to poor decisions, impact margins, and compromise the customer experience. Therefore, ensuring accurate, validated, and scalable data is the true competitive advantage.

From extraction to action

The process of converting data into strategic value goes through three critical phases:

1. Extraction : Overcoming technical barriers to obtaining accurate information from websites with complex architectures.
2. Debugging : After scraping, you need to transform the raw data into useful, structured information that meets specific needs.
3. Action : Turn insights into strategic, real-time business decisions.

Barriers that hinder access to data

The most technologically mature websites are typically not designed for open, automated data access. The main obstacles include:

• Advanced Captchas, which block automated access and require adaptive solutions.
• Dynamic and complex architectures, which make systematic data collection difficult.
• IP or geolocation blocks, which restrict the availability of information.

Our differential approach

Faced with these barriers, traditional scraping is insufficient. At DIP Insights, we go further, adapting advanced web scraping technologies and strategies to each client's needs to access hard-to-find information and transform it into strategic knowledge:

• We identify the technical obstacles.
• We develop customized solutions.
• We clean and refine the data.
• We analyze information to generate strategic insights.

The technology that makes it possible

At Data Seekers, the technology that powers DIP Insights has been designed with a clear objective: to ensure that the foundation of any monitoring and digital shelf analysis is reliable, robust, and scalable. This means that every client can trust that, behind any visualization, alert, or report, the data is:

• Complete, because we overcome the most complex barriers and access information that others cannot.
• Reliable and high-quality, thanks to continuous scraping, debugging, and validation processes. Having quality data, updated daily and without interruption, is the differentiating factor that sets us apart and brings real value to our clients.
• Scalable, capable of growing at the pace of each market and category. While extracting data from a single product in a marketplace can be relatively trivial, today the real challenge is doing so for millions of products every day, ensuring data reliability and availability so that strategic decisions can be made in a timely manner and without compromising their value.

Thanks to this approach, brands and retailers not only gather information, but also access a solid, strategic asset that drives faster and more effective business decisions. The result:

• Early detection of competitor movements.
• Dynamic price adjustment.
• Optimization of catalogs and assortments.
• Greater strategic agility in a hypercompetitive environment.

In e-commerce, the power isn't simply in having data, but in having it earlier, better, and more reliably than anyone else. The combination of daily data quality and high-volume scalability is what makes DIP Insights a real competitive advantage for any brand or retailer.

In today's e-commerce, the point of sale is no longer limited to a physical store or a corporate website. The true showcase where brands stake their visibility and sales is the digital shelf, the space where products compete for prominence in marketplaces, search engines, and online stores.

The way a product appears, is found, and is perceived in this environment largely determines whether it converts into a sale or is lost among hundreds of options.

Black Friday remains the biggest annual event for e-commerce : skyrocketing traffic, peak conversion rates, and pricing strategies pushed to the limit. But once the discount storm subsides, many brands let their guard down at the most crucial moment: the time to analyze, learn, and optimize.

The most common mistake is thinking that digital strategy is only measured on peak demand days. In reality, true online success is built by carefully managing three fundamental pillars of e-commerce throughout the year: inventory, pricing, and digital shelf.

Because just as the Customer Journey doesn't end with the purchase, the e-commerce strategy shouldn't end with Black Friday either.
