The problem it solves

Watching competitor prices on Amazon means checking listings over and over throughout the day. Miss a price drop or lose the Buy Box and it can cost you sales before you even notice.

Who it fits

An Amazon seller or growth team that needs to track pricing and stay competitive.

How it works

  1. Reads your product and competitor links from Google Sheets
  2. Scrapes each Amazon listing for current price and offer data
  3. Formats the pricing and offer details
  4. Updates Google Sheets with the latest numbers
What you get

Price moves you spot before customers do

What you get

An always up-to-date spreadsheet showing your prices next to your competitors' prices.

What you need

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
