Client's-Challenge

Client’s Challenges

The client faced growing difficulty in monitoring price movements across multiple grocery platforms due to fragmented and unreliable data sources. Manual collection methods made Citrus product price tracking inconsistent, delaying insights into seasonal fluctuations, supplier changes, and regional demand shifts.

They also struggled with scaling their operations, as existing tools failed to support high-volume Retail grocery data extraction across categories, locations, and frequent price updates. This led to gaps in historical records and limited visibility into competitor pricing behavior.

Additionally, the absence of centralized dashboards and automation reduced their ability to act quickly on trends. Without dependable Supermarket price analytics solutions, the client found it challenging to compare SKUs, measure promotion impact, or generate actionable reports for stakeholders.

These challenges collectively slowed decision-making, increased operational costs, and restricted the client’s ability to deliver timely, data-driven pricing intelligence in a highly competitive grocery market.
