The brand needed a scalable data solution capable of capturing product-level information and converting it into actionable commercial insights.
Actowiz Metrics implemented Ounass Product Data Analytics to help the client organize marketplace information into a structured intelligence framework. The solution enabled teams to compare products, prices, discounts, availability, categories, and other relevant attributes across recurring monitoring cycles. The brand also required Price & promotion intelligence to understand competitive positioning and evaluate how pricing and promotional movements could affect product visibility. By combining automated data collection with standardized processing and analytical reporting, ...
... Actowiz Metrics created a centralized resource that supported product strategy, pricing decisions, assortment planning, and broader luxury e-commerce research.

Objective
The project was designed to establish a reliable product intelligence framework that could help the brand understand marketplace activity and make faster commercial decisions. The primary objectives were:
Establish Ounass Product Performance Insights to provide structured visibility into product-level pricing, availability, assortment, and competitive positioning.
Improve the consistency and scalability of product data collection across selected luxury categories and priority SKUs.
Monitor price changes and promotional movements to help commercial teams evaluate competitive pricing positions.
Identify products experiencing meaningful changes in availability, discounts, pricing, or catalog visibility.
Support assortment planning by maintaining a structured view of products entering, leaving, or changing position within the monitored catalog.
Capture relevant product attributes such as brand, category, product name, price, discount, stock status, ratings, and product URL.
Enable recurring data collection so analysts could compare current observations with previous marketplace snapshots.
Create analytics-ready datasets that could be integrated into dashboards, reporting environments, and internal business intelligence systems.
Help the brand identify changing customer demand patterns and category-level opportunities using historical product observations.
Reduce manual research effort while creating a scalable foundation for future product categories, markets, and monitoring requirements.
Data Extraction Scope
Platforms Monitored
The monitoring framework focused on Ounass product listings relevant to the client's luxury fashion and retail categories. The scope included brand products, competing listings, category pages, product detail pages, pricing information, promotional indicators, availability information, and other publicly accessible product attributes.
Priority categories were selected based on the client's commercial objectives, enabling the collection process to concentrate on products with the highest strategic relevance.
Time Duration
The project was structured around recurring monitoring cycles so that the client could build historical product snapshots instead of relying on one-time observations. Each collection cycle captured the latest available information and allowed analysts to compare changes against earlier records. This supported identification of price movements, promotional changes, availability fluctuations, and assortment developments over time.
Number of SKUs / Categories
The initial scope covered selected priority SKUs across multiple luxury product categories. The data architecture was designed for scalability, allowing additional SKUs and categories to be incorporated without redesigning the entire collection framework.
Product identifiers, category names, brands, product titles, and URLs were standardized to support reliable product-level comparisons.
Frequency of Tracking
Tracking frequency was aligned with the client's commercial priorities and the pace of marketplace changes. Recurring monitoring enabled the business to identify significant movements without depending on manual reviews. Ounass Product Performance Tracking provided the foundation for comparing product observations across monitoring cycles and helped analysts investigate changes in pricing, stock status, promotions, and assortment.
Higher-frequency monitoring could be applied to categories experiencing faster price or availability changes, while lower-frequency cycles could support broader market research.
Data Points Collected
The collection framework captured ten core data points to create a detailed and consistent product dataset. Ounass Luxury Product Scraping enabled the structured collection of these attributes across selected product listings.
Product Name: Identifies the individual product and supports product-level analysis.
Brand: Records the brand associated with each luxury product.
Category: Classifies products into relevant fashion, beauty, accessories, or other segments.
Product ID: Provides a unique reference for tracking products across monitoring cycles.
Price: Captures the displayed selling price for pricing comparisons.
Discount: Records available promotional reductions and discount information.
Stock Status: Indicates whether a product is currently available or unavailable.
Product Rating: Captures customer-facing rating information where accessible.
Product URL: Preserves the source listing for validation and reference.
Collection Date: Records when the product information was captured, supporting historical analysis.
Business Impact Delivered
Business Impact Delivered
Improved Product Visibility: The brand gained a centralized view of product information across priority categories. This made it easier for commercial teams to review product positioning, pricing, discounts, availability, and assortment changes without manually checking individual listings.
Better Pricing Decisions: Historical observations enabled teams to compare current prices against earlier marketplace records and competitor benchmarks. This improved the ability to identify significant price movements and investigate potential promotional or competitive factors.
Stronger Assortment Management: Recurring product observations helped identify changes in the monitored catalog. Teams could review products that became unavailable, newly appeared, or experienced changes in their assortment status, supporting more informed catalog decisions.
Faster Competitive Research: Automated collection reduced repetitive research activities and gave analysts a standardized dataset for recurring marketplace reviews. Instead of spending significant time gathering information, teams could focus on interpreting market movements and identifying commercial opportunities.
Improved Promotional Analysis: Historical price and discount information provided greater visibility into promotional activity. The brand could compare promotional movements across products and evaluate how pricing changes affected competitive positioning.
Scalable Product Intelligence: Ounass Product Catalog Monitoring created a repeatable framework that could be expanded across additional categories, products, and monitoring requirements. The resulting data supported product research, pricing analysis, assortment decisions, and broader luxury commerce intelligence.

METRICS
API Data Feed
An API-oriented delivery layer enabled structured data to be transferred into downstream analytical environments. Product records could be prepared for integration with internal applications, dashboards, reporting systems, and business intelligence workflows. This reduced dependency on manual file transfers and supported recurring data availability.
Dashboards
Dashboard-ready datasets enabled commercial and category teams to visualize pricing movements, availability, discounts, assortment changes, and product-level trends. Instead of reviewing large raw datasets, users could focus on significant changes and investigate products requiring attention.
Automation Workflows
Automated workflows supported recurring collection, validation, processing, and delivery. Scheduling helped maintain consistent monitoring cycles while reducing manual intervention. Data-quality checks could identify missing fields, duplicate records, unexpected values, or other inconsistencies before information was delivered for analysis.
Analytics & Visualization
Analytical processing converted raw product observations into comparable metrics and historical views. Visualizations could include price comparisons, discount trends, availability indicators, category-level summaries, and product movement charts. The framework strengthened E-commerce & D2C analytics by connecting product, pricing, promotional, and assortment signals within a unified analytical environment.
