E-commerce is complicated, and there are thousands of products on various e-commerce platforms. So how can we quickly find the products we need among these dazzling products? At this time, you need to use our platform search function. Most platforms support keyword and store searches. If the data we need is as simple as searching on the platform and "swish" into our computer, things will not be so complicated. The market has always been composed of various needs, so there has been a new era of "code farmers", "crawler software" has been developed, "data service companies", and "data" and "software" trading transactions have emerged.
E-commerce channels change a lot in a day, so the frequency of monitoring one round of e-commerce channels a day is the least, and it is normal for companies to require multiple rounds a day. Such frequency can be said to be part of daily work, so how can we make channel monitoring easier? Here are a few ways to get data:
1. Outsource to a company that can do channel monitoring. Buy time with money. You can give your needs to the cooperative company, and they can do this with a special person, which can achieve a multiplier effect with half the effort. This way you can also spend your time on more valuable things. There is also a large amount of data, such as the data of the entire industry, or data of multiple categories; the frequency is high; such outsourcing to third-party companies will save a lot of work, and many third-party companies support API interfaces. Their software and technology directly make their data their own. The biggest trick here is to find a reliable company. Before the cooperation, there is sample data to see. After the cooperation, there is a contract to guarantee the data quality and service. For example, the contract stipulates that the data quality can reach 98% , and the data delivery time does not exceed 12 hours. Class, can not meet the promised refund, so it is more perfect.
2. Borrow open crawler software developed by a third party. What I'm talking about here is borrowing, not buying, because the cost of finding a company to develop a tailor-made software is too high, and the maintenance cost is also a lot of money. Now there are many acquisition software on the market, you can experience free trial, cloud service, timing acquisition, and support high-frequency timing. It saves development costs and maintenance costs, just pays to buy data, and even saves the labor cost of the other party during cooperation. If you don't want to install it locally, you can choose SAAS -type software, such as " pm.antuodata ". It is not recommended to use free software for a long time, because the data quality cannot be guaranteed. For enterprise channel monitoring, data quality is still very important. Don't miss out on big things because of greed for cheap. But if you are a small seller, you can use free software. After all, the data requirements are not high. Compared with manual search, free software is still a good choice. Compared with the first point, this selection method is more suitable for companies that have a small amount of monitoring and a high frequency, and can take time every day to do data sorting.
3. Develop software by yourself and become your own R&D department. This is a technical research, if you have the funds, you can try it, but the general brand side does not recommend this operation. Whether it is manpower, material resources, or financial resources, the investment is very large, and the process from product development to maturity is very difficult. The data in this process is not guaranteed, and the later maintenance is also a lot of expenses. If this method of data acquisition does not have the background of strong financial resources, choose carefully.
The above three points are the most commonly used methods for monitoring e-commerce channels. If you have more methods to obtain data or monitor channels, welcome to discuss
