Lixto – Price Intelligence Suite
نویسنده
چکیده
IMPACT The Lixto Price Intelligence Suite is a solution that extracts price-comparison information from competitor online web channels and combines it with internal data sources so organizations gain greater visibility into the factors that might influence price. The suite works by navigating and extracting competitive product and pricing information from predefined online data sources before standardizing, combining, and loading this information into a BI data warehouse for role-based analysis and reporting. The Price Intelligence Suite is specifically targeted at companies in the travel and transport and consumer products industries where product and price competition is particularly volatile, fast moving, or time-based. In Ovum’s opinion the Lixto Price Intelligence Suite should appeal to organizations that need to closely monitor competitors and channel web prices in a more coordinated and automated way.
