Four hours a day, gone by the fifth week.

A mid-market UK retailer had two people opening competitor websites every morning and typing prices into a spreadsheet. It took four hours, covered a fraction of the range, and was wrong by lunchtime. Two previous vendors had tried to automate it. Both feeds died within months.

out: validated rows
03 — Deliver

Into the tools they use

"We'd written off web pricing data after two failed vendors. We consume this feed now — we don't babysit it."
