At the beginning of 2016, we decided to control retail prices in the Internet space. We found guys who offered to automate this process. We were satisfied with the trial result and at the moment we are monitoring most of the IMs, including stores at PROM.
However, I note that knowing about the situation on the market and having a controlled situation are not the same thing.
The control system REALLY makes it easier to find dumping shops, but it does not fix prices.
To really maintain the MAP/ MSRP, the daily work of a manager is necessary, who will ring up stores with an underestimated (or overpriced) price.
We started working with the project in September 2015. At that time, non-compliance with the recommended selling price by online stores had already become a pressing issue and the proposal that came from the project was accepted without discussion - we must try!
For the test period, we connected 10 online stores for control, which included both large and small sites. During testing, the project showed itself from the best side. We not only obtained an evidence base for explicit dampeners, but also identified tricksters who started dumping only on weekends or at night, and especially “advanced” dampeners revealed the IP addresses of computers from which monitoring was carried out and personally showed the “correct” prices for them.
The service dealt with all the problems that arose quickly, thanks to the guys for their responsive work and fine-tuning the monitoring to our requests.
Now we have switched to a package of 20 stores and 1000 Monitoring items. All our customers, both online stores and wholesalers, noted a significant improvement in the market environment. The seller's profit from the sale of our product has increased, which made our product more interesting against the background of competitors.
The next stage is the fight against violators of online stores, on which we have no direct influence. But for this task, the guys already have a solution - legal support.
Back in 2016, we began cooperation with the project team. More than a year used only the monitoring service. We regularly received reports and tried on our own to influence violators of retail recommended prices. There was an effect, but it took a very long time to influence the violators. Work on influencing violators through our dealers did not give a real result. Our employees did not have enough time to work with online stores. There were still violations.
By the end of 2017, they actually planned to abandon the service. In November 2017, we decided to use the “Antidumping” service. Already in the first month of work, dumping fell several times. By outsourcing the work of influencing violators, we freed up the working time of our employees and got a certain result thanks to the perseverance of the Antidumping project team.
After six months of cooperation, less than 5% of the total number of our clients work on the Internet at low prices. Significantly reduced calls to the marketing and sales department from our partners about the violation of retail prices by others.
In general, we are satisfied with the result. We are also pleased that the project management is ready for quick and flexible changes for its regular customers.
Our representative office does not sell products. Importers work, and we help them build a profitable business.
For a long time, the problems of pricing on the Internet did not concern us directly. With the advent of our products in large online stores, the issue of dumping has become acute.
There were no free "hands" at the representative office, we decided to find them on the side. At the beginning of 2017, they gave the Pricecontrol project one store to work on. They completely removed our trademarks from it. By the end of 2017, 40 stores were put into operation. In five months, the guys completely leveled the situation in them.
Today we have entered a new stage of cooperation. Pricecontrol employees themselves find violators of our pricing policy and automatically include them in the work. Now the situation with dumping in the Internet channel is controlled and is constantly improving. Of the special advantages of the project, I can note that we pay only for the result achieved.
Accent Electronic is the main national provider of solutions in the field of IT, telecommunications, construction and energy in the Republic of Moldova.
Working since 1991, we have become the largest distributor in Moldova and in the region, uniting about 70 world brands. The volume of price analytical information on numerous commodity items has grown so much that it required the allocation of a separate structural unit, as well as partial automation of the process of collecting price information, both for retail and wholesale prices.
Thanks to Price Control, we managed to solve not only the task of daily collecting information on hundreds of items from dozens of online stores, with absolute accuracy and the practical absence of significant errors, but also to fully automate many processes for collecting price and configuration information on key commodity items.
The management of the Price Control company met us halfway and agreed to carry out the difficult work of developing unique tools that we successfully use to compete in the current crisis.
Cooperation with Price Control helps to increase the efficiency of the brand management team by providing timely price information and ensuring constant monitoring of the market.
Compliance with recommended retail prices is very important for our business. We cannot afford to neglect this issue and let this process take its course.
For some time we tried to monitor prices on our own, but we realized that it took a lot of time and the results were questionable.
We contacted Price Control in 2022, and we have been cooperating for about two years now. During this time, the situation with price compliance has changed radically for the better. According to the reports and statistics, you can see who and when violated the price. The reports and service are informative and easy to use. Today we monitor about 17 of the largest stores.
The monitoring system facilitates the work of price compliance and makes it effective.
Along with monitoring, we also get market research (parsing), received an informative report in a convenient form.
We are satisfied with the work of the Price Control company, we will continue to cooperate.
Also want to point out the high competence of the employees and the head of the company.
Price scraper is a software product created for automated collection of data on prices, product availability, current promotions from websites of online stores, marketplaces, price aggregators and other e-commerce platforms.
You determine which sites are important to you for analyzing competitors’ prices and send us a list of them for review.
If we already have parsers for these sites, we immediately begin setting up the collection of the information you need. After setting up, we parse the data and you see it in your personal account and can receive it by mail or in your accounting system.
If we have not worked with the sites you have chosen before, we will need time to write a parser. After writing and setting it up, you will be able to receive data.
Parsing competitors’ prices is completely legal. We collect data only from open sources. All information about prices, promotions, discounts, availability of goods is publicly available on websites. We only collect and make it convenient to process this data.
The speed of parsing depends on the number of units of your nomenclature, the quality of the site and the methods of protection against parsing that it uses. We cannot accurately determine the parsing time until we conduct a series of experiments on collecting data from a specific site. From our experience, the average collection time does not exceed 20 minutes.
Parsing marketplace prices is much more difficult than parsing online stores. It always involves bypassing serious protection against parsing. Regularly, you have to rewrite and reconfigure parsers from “new surprises”.
There is also a difference in the data collected. Most reports on marketplaces include not only their prices but also the prices of their merchants.

Competitors prices scraping is a systematic business process for every online seller. It involves selecting direct competitors for analysis, defining a list of important information, setting up parsers to collect data, and regularly parsing prices from websites.
Most online stores, marketplaces, and price aggregators try to counteract the parsing of prices and other important information from their websites. They use various protections against parsing and regularly improve them. If it is important for you to always be aware of the latest price changes of your competitors, entrust the parsing of prices from their websites to the professionals from Price Control.
