Keeping up with the Suppliers

Introduction

Suppliers and vendors have changing product data. They frequently alter prices and product specs. They sometimes discontinue a product that’s in your catalog. They may introduce new variants, upgrades, sustainable alternatives, and don’t have a streamlined method of notifying all their distributors and retailers. Constant manual monitoring is resource-heavy and error-prone, so how can automation be achieved?

What can Supplier Monitoring Do?

  1. Detect Price Changes: This ensures that you are always in the know when your supplier updates pricing information. 
  2. Scrape updated specs and features: Get trustworthy and reliable updates on vital searchable details like product specifications and features. 
  3. Flag discontinued products: Suppliers frequently discontinue products, and carrying these on seller websites can be detrimental to customer experience.
  4. Notify you on new products or variants: Never miss out an opportunity to stoke the latest products out there.

  1. Automatic Monitoring: Our model allows for companies to save their time by preventing constant check-ins with suppliers for new SKUs. It allows for our clients to automatically monitor every SKU on every source website, and help them display updated information on ecommerce websites. 
  2. Variants Support: We also take into account product variants that might be differently priced, or have varying attributes, across geographies in our monitoring processes.
  3. Accurate Matching: Apart from relying on standard identifiers, we also use product matching, and other such functional matching systems, to identify our clients’ products on all source websites. This helps them with being up-to-date with all their products and suppliers as well.
