Our software continuously crawls eCommerce shop shelves, looking through the customer lens, to capture anything a shopper can potentially see. How it works? We explain that below in 4 steps.
Data crawling tools can be used for many purposes. Our software crawls product detail pages of worldwide webshops and marketplaces daily. For who? For e-commerce teams, marketeers, content specialists, brand managers and digital merchandisers.
A Product Detail Page (PDP) is a web page on an eCommerce site that presents a specific product. On a PDP we usually find a product title, product images and videos, a product description, price, specifications and reviews.
SiteLucent daily monitors over 70 different metrics on product detail pages all over the web such as:
Our software makes the eCommerce data that is being crawled daily, transparent and applicable through visualizations, calculations and reports. This is what you see in your dashboards and widgets.
Widgets are small applications that visualize your data and thus make it easy understandable and applicable. SiteLucent currently uses 6 different visualization types: KPI, scatter plot, line chart, bar chart, data table and product overview.
Besides visualization type, a widget can show you different metrics such as content criteria, availability and search rank (as we explained in step 2).
Also the dimension, aggregation, time range and, in case of a data table, the table fields can change per widget.
A precondition for staying ahead of the competition is to offer the best possible presentation and visibility of products on all online shelves. Touch-point monitoring and analysis uncover powerful insights for brands, as well as opportunities to improve customers' experience on all sales channels.
