Success story

Problem
A fundamental equity fund was tracking inventory and prices of major brands and retailers with costly and brittle in-house scrapers.
Kadoa Solution
  • Automated monitoring of inventory levels across retail websites
  • Detection of clearance sales and promotional intensity changes
  • Out-of-stock tracking as demand indicator
  • Historical pricing pattern analysis for seasonality
ROI
  • 90% reduction in scraper maintenance costs
  • 5x more SKUs tracked vs in-house solution
  • Zero engineering resources required
"We spent 80% of our time fixing broken scrapers instead of analyzing data. Kadoa gave us back our analysts' time while expanding coverage."
