Client's-Challenge

Client’s Challenges

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.

Forecasting demand was another major challenge. Without proper historical data, it was difficult to predict seasonal or sudden demand spikes, resulting in stockouts during peak periods and overstock during slow periods. This impacted both revenue and customer satisfaction.

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. They required a scalable, automated solution to collect, process, and analyze historical grocery data for actionable insights, ensuring optimized inventory, pricing, and promotions across all product categories.
