Data feeds are always the best way for us to get updates about your product information. If you have invested in data feeds over the years there's no need to throw away all that work! We can help you recycle your data feeds, essentially we can optimise any feed to fill in any gaps using our range of Feed optimisation tools. We can take multiple feeds (or files) in different formats and merge them into a usable set of data. We can also query direct APIs for this data.

Data Feeds can be complimented by Page scanning for Price Changes or missing attributes.

If your business is very price senstive we can also scan your site for price changes throughout the day to supplement any feed being produced overnight. We can also use page scanning to complement your data feed, filling in missing attributes to enhance your Data Feed.

If you cannot produce a Data Feed do not worry we can build one from scratch for you.

However if you cannot export your data in any format from your e-commerce database (which is effectively what a feed is) then we can look at scraping or, as we now call it, scanning your website to build you a Data feed from scratch. Using the latest web scanning technology we can get good excellent results these days. However merchant sites can be inconsistent in structure and the advent of Ajax on clients applications can make things more of a challenge but we like a challenge, it keeps us on our toes.

These days our page scanning solutions can learn and identify changes to merchant site layout, CSS etc so this makes the whole process a lot smoother.
