Using Newbie Web
Automation, custom scripts were developed to lookup the
lowest price for any given product and update his price
to be the lowest price. The following configurable
parameters were implemented:
Stop Price - The
minimum price; the lowest price the reseller is willing
to offer.
Better Price By -
The amount to lower by based on lowest competitor's
price.
For example: lowest
competitor price for a certain product is $10.00, Better
Price By is set to $0.50 and Stop Price is $7.50. The
new price will be $9.50. If the competitor's price fell
below $7.50. The new price will be set to $7.50.
An Excel Audit Log file is
also generated containing the following information: the
products that were updated, the competitor's price, the
previous price and the new price. Running the scripts
took only a few minutes compared to hours and days it
would have taken if this web task was done manually.
