Why you should stop monitoring your competitors manually

Price is among the most important factors that people take in consideration when purchasing online.
The increasing amount of e-commerce on the Internet raises the pressure when it comes to deciding which one could be the best price according to competitors. Day by day we are struggling with new competitors that are added to the list of competitors we want to keep an eye on.
Thus, it is getting more and more difficult to stay updated in terms of offers, catalogue and price variation. In order to be competitive, it is extremely important to be always updated about what our competitors are doing. Checking them manually requires a lot of time, time that could be dedicated to other important operations if we could do it automatically.

Here below are listed 4 main reasons why you should stop checking your competitors manually:

1. Save time

Manually checking your competitors or retailers online can cost a lot in terms of time and money. It depends on the size of your catalogue, but you can benefit from an automatic check by, for instance, concentrating your staff on other important operations.

2. Check your market in a deeper way

An automated price tracker allows you to get a better idea of what your market consists of. Competitoor helps you do market research that allows you to discover new competitors other than those you already know.
Moreover, there’s no limit to the items you want to track. Competitoor offers you different plans, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

3. Be updated in real time

4. Forget about human errors
