7. Demand Analysis
• Classified sites are ideal places for e-commerce price monitoring,
especially of details of the most popular ones. Even the rates in
particular categories can be fetched, and some products can be
prioritized in your own arsenal if they sell well in some
demographics, where other brands manage to sell.
2.Channel
Partner
Management
• If an e-commerce retailer sells through channel partners, then
they are bound to observe the minimum retail price. Retailers
will need to keep an eye on the changes to the rates set by these
resellers. Channel partners can hold flash sales for an item for a
specific period before the price gets back to normal.
Grey Market Policy
• Web data scraping is also used when there are resellers involved. Generally,
they are not allowed to sell through any of third party sites but the best way to
track whether they do so is by searching these sites for each product on an
automated basis. That way your legal department can easily identify all the
resellers who are infringing on the rates and enforcement notices can be issued
automatically
