The client struggled to gain accurate insights into historical grocery sales and customer behavior. Managing Web scraping FreshDirect product listings was complex due to frequent website updates, varied product categories, and dynamic pricing, making manual tracking inefficient and error-prone.

Additionally, analyzing broader market trends proved challenging. The client lacked a centralized method to web scrape FreshDirect grocery trends, limiting their ability to benchmark performance, identify emerging consumer preferences, or detect shifts in ordering patterns.
Overall, fragmented datasets, time-consuming manual processes, and inconsistent tracking hindered their ability to make data-driven decisions.
