The brief
Problem, approach, result.
Problem
Buying decisions on a catalogue of over 100,000 products were being made on a tiny, hand-checked sample of prices. By the time anyone finished comparing, the numbers had already moved.
Without a reliable history, nobody could tell whether a price was genuinely low or just noise, so the business consistently overpaid.
Approach
- Built a resilient scraper with proxy rotation and request pacing that walks the full catalogue without tripping anti-bot defences.
- Normalised every product into one schema so the same item is comparable across categories and over time.
- Stored a dated price history and layered trend analysis and anomaly detection on top of it.
- Pushed change alerts the moment a price crossed a meaningful threshold, and exported clean reports for the buying team.
Result
Purchasing costs dropped 25%, driven by always buying at the right moment from the cheapest reliable source.
The team replaced manual spot-checks with complete, validated, daily data, and a paper trail to justify every decision.
“Excellent communication, on time, and fully committed. The result fully met my expectations.”
