Extract a Competitor's Product Catalogue
Pull structured product data from a competitor's catalogue — names, prices, descriptions, and images — for competitive analysis.
Track New Product Launches in a Catalogue
Monitor a competitor or supplier catalogue for new product launches and get alerts the moment new SKUs appear.
ToolNew product launches are the most strategically important changes in a catalogue — they signal a competitor's direction, a supplier's new capacity, or a category expansion. But they are also the easiest to miss because they arrive as a small number of new SKUs inside a larger catalogue that hasn't otherwise changed.
Catalogue Scraper extracts a full catalogue as a structured dataset. Running it on a schedule and comparing new extractions against a baseline surfaces every new SKU the moment it appears — without you having to manually watch the site.
Product managers, competitive intelligence teams, and merchandising buyers use this to be first to know when a competitor launches into a new category, monitor suppliers for new SKUs relevant to their range, and time their own launches around competitor releases.
