Product / Competitor List – New Price2Spy Report

New Price2Spy features 25.12.2013. Reading Time: 2 minutes
Our developers were pretty active in previous weeks and quite a number of new reports / features were launched in Price2Spy. Product / Competitor list is a new report we have added in order to improve Price2Spy Report section.

It is accessed through Reports => Products / Competitor list. When opened in Excel it looks similar to the Price Matrix Report and products are presented by rows, while columns are arranged in a different way. If we take the image below as an example, the columns are as follows:

  • Column A – Internal ID
  • Column B – Category name
  • Column C – Brand name
  • Column D – Product name
  • Column E – SKU
  • Column F – Competitor sites
  • Column G – Last known price
  • Column H – Availability info
  • Column I – Active / Inactive URL info

Same product is listed across more rows (depending on the number of sites it is motored on). So rows 4, 5 and 6 are actually one product named Box Truck Steel White. Besides general product info displayed (Brand, Category and so on) we can see that the product is monitored on 3 sites (their names are displayed in column F but were blurred for privacy reasons). The report also shows last price captured by Price2Spy (column E), and availability info as well (e.g. competitor in row 5 seems to be out of stock at the moment – column H). Colour code is the same as in regular Price Matrix (Red for expensive and Green for cheap).
