PriceWatch Competitor
We built PriceWatch so a seller can see one product on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's without opening eight sites. Four more stores sit on the same row. The lowest price is marked, and the board also says where you are already the cheapest.
PriceWatch ↗- Customer: A seller who watches the same product on many stores.
- Problem: Checking Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and the rest means opening eight sites.
- Solution: One board for 12 stores. The lowest price is marked.
- Outcome: This catalog has 320 products, and 206 where you are already the cheapest.
- Strategic win: You can see the share you already win, 64% in this catalog, without a weekly price hunt.
The price you need is on eight websites, and none of them is yours.
A catalog only helps if you can see who is under you. Opening Amazon, then Walmart, then Best Buy, is not a way to run a store.
Why it was hard
The same headphones are $249 on Amazon and $219 on eBay, and the gap is different on the next product. Checking that by opening each store, then writing it down, is how a price change arrives a week late.
- Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's do not share a price page
- The cheapest store changes by product, so a single rival is the wrong thing to watch
- A seller who is already the lowest price can still cut it, and give away the money they would have kept
- A spreadsheet of yesterday's prices is not the board you need this morning
What you get
- ✓Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's on one row
- ✓Four more stores on the same board
- ✓Each product is one line, with every store's price beside it
- ✓The lowest price on that line is marked
- ✓A count of products, how many you already win, and the share you lead
- ✓You can hold a price that is already the cheapest, or match one that is not
Every store on one row
Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's each get a column. Four more stores stay on the board with them. A seller stops jumping between sites to copy a price into a sheet.
Open PriceWatch →The lowest price is marked
Each product is one line. The cheapest cell is highlighted, so you see who is under you on that product. Target can win the headphones while Walmart wins the keyboard. Watching one rival would miss both.
Collect prices from the web →Know when to hold
The top of the board counts the catalog, how many products you already win, and the share you lead. On this view that is 320 products, 206 wins, and 64%. Match a price that is losing, and leave a price that is already the cheapest.
Tell us about your catalog →Twelve stores. One line per product. The lowest price is the one you can see.
Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's, and four more. You see the gap, you see where you already lead, and you do not have to open each site to find out.
The prices in the screenshot are a sample catalog so the table is easy to read. They are not a live quote from those stores this morning.
