Health & Beauty
Health & Beauty - Price monitoring in health and beauty industry
Specifics
- One of the specifics of this industry is different packaging options – a product is typically offered in several different packages / volumes, all on a single product page.
- Number of individual products (SKUs) varies: from 300 to 20 000 depending on the client size
- In recent days more and more of our clients monitor Google Shopping as a kind of shortcut to monitoring a multitude of individual sites
Greatest challenges
- Unfortunately, as with other similar industries, no EAN / standardized part numbers are available (even when they are, retail sites do not use this data, as it’s of no importance to the end client)
- The presence of numerous product variations (most frequently regarding quantity)
