Home / Why iPrice

A price tracking tool or manual tracking?

Automatic price and stock tracking instead of manual checks.

Prices change many times a day. The same product is sold through many channels by many sellers. The shelf price is often not the price paid: there are cart discounts, card offers and coupons. One employee visiting sites one by one with Excel will struggle to keep up. iPrice records the products and sellers you choose from public product pages all day long.

Why now

Knowing competitor prices makes pricing decisions easier.

Your customers compare prices before they buy, and they buy wherever the same product looks better value. If you don’t know where your price stands, you lose sales without noticing. iPrice puts that gap in front of you all day; you make the move.

The main difference

You never spend time hunting for links.

With manual tracking you first have to find every product’s page on every site. With iPrice you type the product’s name, model or barcode; iPrice finds the product’s pages across the market, verifies it is the same product (model, capacity, color) and fetches its price all day. Already have links? Add them; if not, no problem.

Price and stock in front of you

Price, stock, campaigns and installments are updated all day.

Already have links? Add them: iPrice tracks them too and keeps looking for new seller pages of the same product.

Manual tracking vs. iPrice

What you can’t see when you look at 10:00 a.m.

Two views of the same product. An employee checked a few sites at 10:00 a.m. iPrice recorded the selected sellers all day; the two sellers that dropped their price in the afternoon are in the record too.

At the morning check you are the cheapest. Changes during the day are not in that view.

While evaluating

Questions to ask when moving away from manual tracking.

  • 1Do I avoid hunting for links, with the pages found from just a product name?
  • 2Does it record the sellers I choose several times through the day?
  • 3Does it notify me when a price changes?
  • 4Does it show the stock information visible on seller pages?
  • 5Does it catch cart and card discounts?
  • 6For price violations, does it store the page snapshot with its date and link?
  • 7Can it update my price on my site by itself?
