Price and Stock Position Tracking

What is price position?

Price position is your ranking among all sellers offering the same product, from cheapest to most expensive. Tracking this across your catalog reveals which products are competitively priced and which need adjustment. Combined with stock data, it shows the full competitive picture.

Combining price and stock data

A competitor with a lower price but out-of-stock inventory is not a real threat. ShoppingScraper returns both price and availability data, letting you filter competitive analysis to only in-stock offers. This prevents unnecessary repricing against phantom competitors.

• Price position calculated against in-stock competitors only
• Stock availability tracking per competitor per product
• Alert when competitor stock status changes

Using position data for repricing

Set repricing rules based on price position targets. For example, maintain a top-3 position on your highest-margin products. Allow lower positions on products where margin is thin. ShoppingScraper data feeds these rules with up-to-date competitive intelligence.

Promotional compliance monitoring

Beyond day-to-day price position tracking, ShoppingScraper's Promotions feature lets you verify that retailers actually activate your negotiated promotional prices. Create a campaign with target promo prices per product, select which retailers to monitor, and see a real-time compliance matrix showing who activated correctly, who deviated, and who failed to list the product.

• Product × Retailer compliance matrix with color-coded statuses
• Green: retailer activated the correct promo price
• Yellow: retailer listed a different price than agreed
• Amber: product is out of stock at this retailer
• Red: product is not listed at all
• Export compliance reports to Excel or print as PDF for trade marketing reviews
• Track compliance trends across quarterly and seasonal campaigns
