Competitor Price Monitor & Dynamic Pricing in practice
Engineering approach and system architecture
I solve business problems by starting with the process. No rigid ready-made templates: I build software around your procedures.01 // MODULE
Why manually checking competitor prices wastes time
01
The Market Changes Every Day
Competitors introduce promotions, overnight sales and dynamically adjust their margins.
02
Losing customers because prices are too high
When a competitor cuts the price by 5 zł, you lose the sale without knowing.
03
Selling below the optimal margin
When a competitor sells out their stock, you can safely raise your price and earn more.

Architecture of an Automated Price Bot
I build dedicated scraping bots using headless browsers (Playwright) that simulate real user behavior and bypass Cloudflare protections. The bot collects data from selected stores, e-commerce sites and Allegro, normalizes product names and saves price history in PostgreSQL.
The dashboard shows trend charts, while the rules engine sends instant alerts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about competitor price monitoring and dynamic pricing: architecture, implementation, data security, costs and technologies.
01 How often does the bot check competitor prices? +
Monitoring normally runs 2–4 times a day, including at night when competitors often test promotions. On request, the interval can be as short as 60 minutes.
02 Can competitors' stores block the bot? +
I use advanced headless-browser bots (Playwright) with rotating residential proxies, guaranteeing complete undetectability and a 99.8% data collection success rate.
03 How will I receive price reports? +
You receive access to an interactive online dashboard with price-change charts, instant Slack/Telegram/email alerts for steep price reductions, and a weekly Excel/CSV spreadsheet.
04 How many products and competitors can I monitor for 1 000 zł/month? +
The basic package monitors up to 500 key product SKUs at 3–5 main market competitors.
