A mid-sized e-commerce startup specializing in grocery delivery approached ScrapeEngine to enhance its competitive intelligence, pricing strategy, and product availability insights. The client aimed to extract real-time data from leading grocery delivery platforms such as Blinkit, Zepto, BigBasket, and Flipkart Grocery to optimize its operations and gain a competitive edge.
1. Dynamic Pricing & Availability: Prices and product availability change frequently, requiring real-time data updates for accurate decision-making.
2. Anti-Scraping Measures: Grocery platforms implement CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, and other anti-bot technologies, making data extraction complex.
3. Data Volume & Frequency: Extracting and processing large datasets across multiple locations without delays or data loss.
4. Data Accuracy & Compliance: Ensuring high data accuracy while adhering to platform guidelines and legal regulations to avoid potential penalties.
5. Consumer Behavior Insights: Understanding shifting consumer demands and trends to optimize product offerings.
6. Multi-Regional Data Handling: The client required localized data collection to analyze price variations in different cities.
