Knowing your competitors is being ahead of your competition

Most e-commerce businesses know their competitors superficially: an occasional glance at their website. But competitors change daily: new products, price changes, inventory fluctuations, and promotions. With data scraping, you fully automate this monitoring.

A competitor scraper collects daily or weekly data from your competitors: their full assortment, prices, inventory status, new products, and discount campaigns. You see trends before they become obvious and can react proactively.

Channify builds competitor monitoring scrapers that deliver in dashboards, spreadsheets, or direct alerts. We monitor as many competitors as you want, on as many channels as relevant.

From mapping competitors to daily monitoring

1

Select competitors

We determine which competitors you want to monitor and on which channels (own webshop, Bol.com, Amazon, etc.).

2

Define data points

Which data do you want per competitor? Products, prices, inventory, reviews, new products, promotions?

3

Build and test scraper

We build the scraper, test it on each competitor website, and deliver a sample dataset.

4

Dashboard and alerts

We set up a dashboard (Google Sheets or custom) with daily updates. New products and price shocks trigger alerts.

Frequently asked questions about competitor analysis scraping

Is competitor analysis with scraping legal?

Yes. Scraping public competitor data (prices, products, inventory) from publicly accessible websites is legal. We respect robots.txt and terms of service. We don't scrape personal data or login-sensitive data.

How many competitors can I monitor?

There's no technical limit. We have clients monitoring 5 competitors and clients tracking 50+. Costs scale with the number of competitors and scrape frequency. We advise on the optimal scope.

What does competitor monitoring cost?

A monitoring scraper for 5 competitors starts from €495 one-time + €99/month (daily updates). For more competitors or more complex monitoring (multi-channel), the price scales. Request an intro for a custom quote.

Can I connect the data to my own Channable account?

Yes. The scraped competitor data can serve as input for dynamic pricing in Channable. This way, you can automatically adjust your prices based on competition. We build the complete pipeline from scraper to Channable rules.

How often should I monitor?

For prices: daily. For assortment: weekly. For new products: daily with alerts. For reviews: monthly. We advise the optimal frequency based on how quickly your competition changes.

Can I also monitor marketplace competitors?

Yes. We can scrape competitors on Bol.com (other sellers of the same product), Amazon, and Google Shopping. This gives insight into your market position per marketplace and per product.
