Market prices comparison

At prexus, we offer two options to compare your prices with those of your competitors across different sales channels:

  • Self-managed monitoring: If you have your own staff to track prices across your commercial channels, use our PGP Monitor PRO platform to capture market data either manually (by entering the data) or automatically (by taking photos of price tags at the point of sale). You also have PGP Extractor PRO to automatically scrape data from your competitors' websites.

  • Price monitoring managed by prexus: If you prefer us to completely handle your price shopping, our expert team takes care of capturing data across any sales channel (Internet, self-service retail, over-the-counter, or sales advisor).

FAQs

What is a market price comparison solution?

At prexus, this information can be captured using PGP Monitor PRO, PGP Extractor PRO, or through a managed price shopping service operated directly by our team.

What is the difference between PGP Monitor PRO and PGP Extractor PRO?

PGP Monitor PRO is designed to capture and manage prices in physical or digital channels through field teams, manual entry, or photographs of price tags. PGP Extractor PRO automates the recurring extraction of information from websites through web scraping. Both tools allow companies to centralize and analyze market pricing information.

What is the difference between using the platforms and hiring prexus to manage the price shopping process?

With PGP Monitor PRO and PGP Extractor PRO, your company directly manages its own price monitoring using our platforms. If you hire prexus to manage the price shopping process, our team handles the data collection and delivers the resulting information. You can choose the alternative that best fits your staffing, channels, and monitoring frequency requirements.

In which channels can competitor prices be monitored?

Prices can be monitored on websites, in self-service retail stores, at points of sale with counter service, and through quotation processes involving sales representatives. The methodology and tool used depend on the channel and the type of information available.

What types of products or services can be monitored?

Products and services sold through physical or digital channels can be monitored, provided that pricing information can be reliably identified and captured.

PGP Monitor PRO’s automated photo-based capture applies to products displayed at points of sale with visible price tags. For automated information capture from websites, prexus offers PGP Extractor PRO.

Can PGP Monitor PRO automatically capture prices from photographs?

Yes. At points of sale with visible price tags, PGP Monitor PRO allows users to take photographs so that artificial intelligence can automatically extract the information from the labels. This significantly reduces the time required for manual data entry.

Can PGP Extractor PRO automate price monitoring on websites?

Yes. PGP Extractor PRO allows users to schedule recurring extraction of information from competitors’ or distributors’ websites. It can collect fields such as regular price, promotional price, availability, product description, and other relevant information, while also standardizing product names to make comparisons easier.

How is the captured information delivered?

The information is centralized in prexus platforms and can be viewed, analyzed, and exported for use in other systems or internal processes. In price shopping projects managed by prexus, the information is delivered according to the scope and format agreed with the client.

How frequently can prices be updated?

The frequency depends on the channel and the needs of the business. Monitoring can be performed on a one-time or recurring basis, with daily, weekly, monthly, or customized frequencies depending on the project.

Can the platforms be integrated with other systems?

Yes. The information can be exported for use in other systems and, depending on the scope, the platforms can be integrated through APIs with the company’s internal tools.

Can price monitoring be hired for a one-time need?

Yes. In addition to recurring monitoring, prexus can carry out one-time price collection projects when a company needs specific market information for an analysis, negotiation, product launch, or pricing decision.

Can PGP Monitor PRO work without an internet connection?

Yes. PGP Monitor PRO can be used to capture information at points of sale even when no internet connection is available, synchronizing the data later once the device reconnects.
