Great retail pricing software: we increase our sales and stay competitive
Comments: Ok, thanks to Competera, we have a very comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the market at any given time which helps us make far more well-informed pricing decisions. I think the most important goals for us are to increase the sales of our company and be competitive in the market. Competera helps us with them. As for the features, I love their clear and easy-to-use dashboards (the design is great!).
Pros:
We are the largest retail chain of DIY, home repairing and improvement, house building stores in the Baltic region, and it’s important for us to receive high-quality competitive data about our true competitors, as well as get data-driven actionable insights on setting optimal prices across our assortment at any time. Competera allows us to do that. The speed of decision making is also important and, with Competera, we’ve significantly speeded up our repricing. Also, I like the communication between our companies. We have been cooperating for almost 4 years now and Competera’s customer care team has always been extremely responsive and very rapid at addressing my requests.
Cons:
Everything is great, but I’d love to see even higher matches quality.

Highly qualified price monitoring for brands
Comments: Delonghi group (Delonghi, Kenwood, Braun) is an Italian brand of domestic appliances located in 40 countries. The right price for our product is valuable for our brand. My goal is to ensure a good selling price within the region. Competera solves the problem of my awareness of pricing in our distribution channels. Due to information from Brand Intelligence product I always know the current price of our products so that I can prevent bad tendencies.
Pros:
I like Competera for solving complicated tasks just in time they promised. For instance, I had a goal to monitor prices from challenging marketplace. I was interested in the report of MAP violations by key positions. I know that was technically difficult task for Competera, and they handled the problem of scanning the complex website.
Cons:
I work with Competera since 2017 and I can't say that I have some outstanding concerns about product or customer support.
Advanced price optimization and a proactive pricing strategy
Comments:
Here's a list of benefits we've realized:
- Switching to strategic tasks;
- Sustainable and proactive pricing;
- Advanced price optimization.
Pros:
We've been using Competera for over a year and it is truly indispensable for the team. Out of all the benefits it has, Competera helped us reduce manual work and save plenty of time that we can now spend on strategically important tasks. We are now capable of tracking and course-correcting strategy implementation and market positioning on a daily basis. We look forward to enhancing our position with Competera via advanced price optimization and proactive pricing. Competera managed to satisfy our requests and that's why we would definitely recommend it to other retailers.
Cons:
Nothing much to report so far. It's been a very good experience.
Price tracking for sales and revenue growth
Comments: Any problems are solved in a couple of hours by the tech support team. If I had a specific request on the rules of repricing, I only need ask and it appears on my dashboard.
Pros:
I love the fact that spreadsheet pricing is dead to me. Since I started using the pricing platform the pricing in Watsons doesn't depend on the human eye, so that I don't worry about mistakes any more. I'm sure that I can achieve my KPI's and even more. As a result, the revenue of the shop is going up and I can earn more for myself. Saving time on manual checking of competitors prices, promotions and assortment, I can concentrate on strategic tasks. My job gets more profitable and ambitious thanks to the automation of pricing! The main problems I've solved with competera are: 1. I stopped wasting time on manual checking of thousands of competitors SKU's. 2. I achieve my KPI's and bring more revenue to the shop. 3. I focus on strategic issues not on routine tasks.
Good company with valuable output
Comments: Once everything is set up correctly, the tool works perfectly and helps us with our daily analysis. Overall recommendable.
Pros:
The whole team is very cooperative and responds very quickly. The data preparation and overall quality is very good. The parameterization also works perfectly (e.g. coefficient for packaging units).
Cons:
There are areas in which the mapping does not work as desired and sometimes requires a great deal of manual effort. This also applies to apparently easy-to-identify items that cannot be found despite several runs.

Dear Oliver, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found Competera easy to use and appreciated our support team. We're constantly working to improve our platform's reliability to empower our clients with outstanding data and pricing tool.
Competera is an excellent price monitoring software for brands.
Pros:
SKB Europe is the Netherlands-based European distributor of SKB Cases. These high-quality cases are for demanding industrial, sport, & music applications. Competera is a trusted partner, providing us with a reliable data for the past two years. The Price Management helps us being aware of our price positioning and timely react on unfavorable changes. Competera became our good assistant in the profitable cooperation with major European and Amazon resellers.
Cons:
The first time, it was the high price. But now Competera has absolutely transparent new pricing for clients and the product is updating in leaps and bounds.
Save your time with automated price tracking tool
Comments: Online fully automated competitor's price tracking helped us significantly reduce the time for data processing and product pricing.
Pros:
I'm a current user of Competera pricing software. I'd say the huge task is done for the managers of product categories in the online channel. Online fully automated competitor's price tracking helped us significantly reduce the time for data processing and product pricing. After the integration with the service, our prices got protected from possible human errors.
Cons:
I should say Competera is not the cheapest solution, but it worth to pay for the quality of pricing platform and the services provided. We wish the Competera team good luck and new inventions!

This is a great price monitoring tool, with amazing customer support! I work with Competera more than 3 years, and all this time I realy happy to work with tham! I forgot about all my problem's with reprasing and price monitoring! Thanks! I'm happy to work with you guys :)
Cons:
Hard question. Have no idea :) May be the price, but , I already used it long time, and I understood that this service should cost even more than now, cause it really help grow my business, and earn more.
Data quality for enterprise retail
Pros:
Toy.ru is one of the biggest enterprise retailers in Russia. We collaborate with Competera for not the first year. We need our client not to get qualitative and safety toys at the best price. That's the reason why we use Competera - to have timely data on market prices. We correct the prices our products based on competitive data to make them more attractive for buyers. We thank Competera and highly recommend it to others.
Brand Intelligence For Respected Brands
Comments: The key challenge for every brand is to support proper price perception. With Competera I can control the situation with pricing for our products in only a few clicks.
Pros:
Panasonic places a high value on brand image and that,s why we maintain and protect the right price positioning. Competera brings us such a wide market vision and the current price policy of resellers. The system of automated notifications within the dashboard helps manage the alerts with price violations in an online channel. As a result, we can build good relations with our resellers, being sure about Panasonic brand image in consumers, eyes.
Competitive data boosts sales and margins
Pros:
Baby Park is a baby-goods online store with a huge assortment. The price management solution helps us to keep prices competitive. With Competera we get all the insights we need to engage more customers and increase the sales growth. Besides that, we feel the good changes in brand trust through the right price positioning for right products. Especially I want to thank for a pay-per-use system for the business of our size. Also, I appreciated the customized package of services that Competera support managers provide us.
Optimize the pricing with an automated repricing tool
Pros:
Our company collaborates with Competera from 2016. I am a new user of Competera repricing software. My goals are (1) to optimize pricing with an automated repricing tool, (2) simplify my daily job with the help of e-mail alerts, (3) automate the renewal of assortment via API integration. After not so long utilization of the product, I see I can achieve my goals in short time.
How I said "goodbye" to Excel and "hello" to agile and adaptive interface
Pros:
I liked Competera’s agile and adaptive interface where you can customize every column. You can delete them, change their order or lock them. It’s awesome. Another great thing that everything is online. You don’t need to install any software and update it regularly. I used to love learning about new Excel features. I was fascinated with formulas that would allow me to automate processes - so cool. But Excel is becoming less used today. With Competera, you go to your dashboard where everything is ready for you. All the data is analyzed, all the graphs are there. All I need to do is to make final decisions.
Cons:
To be honest, I would be skeptical at first when the system put forward price recommendations. I wouldn’t call it distrust, but still… So, I calculated new prices for the first repricing cycle myself and then compared them with Competera’s suggestions. I remember that for the most part, we had identical ideas. So, it works.

Automated rules-based pricing for Enterprise Retail
Pros:
I work in Sdvor - online retailer of building and finishing materials in six regions of Russian Federation. Price tracking of the product categories in our industry is quite time-consuming: huge assortment, the geography of distribution, commodity differences with competitors. The resources of Competera allow us to assess the situation on the market and control the compliance with our price positioning. We thank the Competera team for the efficient product, operational support, and individual approach.
Cons:
I have nothing to say on cons of partnership with Competera, as they flexibly react to requests and skillfully adapt the product to the features of our business.
Repricing for enterprise retail
Comments: The one thing I need is to get more information on the features of the product, which I have not used yet.
Pros:
I use Competera to be always aware of the market situation and our price positioning. Our online store includes a huge number of products and as the huge geography of distribution. With Competera I am sure we have the best price right now. A few months ago we started testing the repricing tool from Competera. Will see how it works for us.
professionally

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you appreciate the speed, flexibility, and ease of use. We’ll consider your suggestion on margin forecast visualization. It’s great to know our platform helps you achieve your pricing goals!
I use a Price Management product
Comments: First of all, I have enough market view with reliable data on competitors prices and promotions. So I can build a data-based strategy for product categories pricing. Secondly, I started saving my time on routine manual repricing. As a result, I can complete my daily tasks faster and take the time to plan new activities.
Pros:
There are two things I like the best in daily using of Computer. It's a user-friendly interface. And it's a great customer support team. The guys from support helped me to get a handle with the dashboard at the outset. And now they inform me about the product updates to be sure that I get the maximum from the product. Thanks for that! And about the product. I've been using Price Management product for only a short time, but the results are already quite obvious. Now I can automatically manage the product categories much faster and precise. This converts into the profit of online store and good KPI's performance. I'm pleased with the product.
Facilitated work with MAP violators
Comments: I started controlling the assortment in stock on the website. Over the course of a year, ompetera was tasked with the monumental challenge of monitoring the specific websites.
Pros:
I use Competera Brand Intelligence solution in order to protect the minimum advertised price. I received all the required data on the actual retail price. Once a month, I requested the statistics on price violations, and Competera delivered a special report which facilitated working things out with violators.
Cons:
They need more functionality when it comes to using this tool for forecasting. Great on customer support.
