Competitor Price Scraping: Tire Retailer Case Study

Competitor Price Scraping: How a US Tire Retailer Tracked SKUs Across 15 Markets

Executive Summary
A national US tire retailer's Revenue, Pricing & Margin team already received weekly competitor price scraping by SKU across roughly 15 markets - but was evaluating alternative vendors for better reliability and cost. They wanted SKU-level competitor pricing on a dependable weekly cadence, ideally quoted as an annual cost. We delivered a like-for-like scraping feed with stronger uptime and a clean migration, so the pricing team kept its weekly rhythm without disruption.

The Business Challenge
Competitor pricing drives margin decisions in the tire category, so the team needed exact SKU matching and consistent weekly delivery - a missed or late feed directly impacts pricing moves. Their existing scraping vendor relationship was workable but they wanted to benchmark reliability, market coverage, and total annual cost before renewing. The migration also had to be seamless: no gap in the weekly series their analysts depended on.

The ...
... Developer Asset
We built a SKU-level competitor price scraping pipeline keyed to the retailer's own catalog, matching each internal SKU to the competitor's listing so analysts compared like for like. The feed delivered price, promo price, availability, and capture date per SKU per market, in the same column structure their team already used - minimizing change-management friction.

The Solution
We ran a parallel scraping feed alongside their incumbent for a validation period, proving accuracy and timeliness market-by-market before fully cutting over. Coverage was set to the same ~15 markets with room to expand. Pricing was structured as a predictable annual cost to fit their budgeting cycle, and scraper-health monitoring ensured the weekly feed landed on schedule.

The Results & Business Value
Reliable weekly SKU-level competitor price scraping across 15 markets with no series gap.

Like-for-like SKU matching against the retailer's own catalog for clean margin analysis.

Predictable annual pricing aligned to budgeting.
A validated, low-risk vendor migration that preserved analyst workflows.
