Introduction
With rising grocery inflation and hyperlocal competition, 2025 has seen a dramatic shift in how consumers shop for essentials. Quick commerce apps like Blinkit, Zepto, and JioMart are offering dynamic discounts that change hourly. To stay ahead, retail brands and market researchers rely on Quick Commerce Grocery & FMCG Data Scraping for real-time visibility into these fluctuations.
Product Data Scrape enabled a CPG brand in India to extract grocery & gourmet food data and track discount trends across Blinkit , Zepto, and JioMart in 20+ Indian cities, helping them optimize promotions, pricing, and product visibility.
Client Overview
Industry: Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)
Region Focus: India (Tier 1 & Tier 2 Cities)
Platforms Monitored: Blinkit, Zepto, JioMart
Objective: Real-time discount tracking, price benchmarking, and offer optimization
The Business Problem
Lack of Real-Time Discount Data
Grocery platforms push hourly deals, promo codes, and dynamic bundles. The brand was missing key flash discounts.
City-Level Pricing Variations
Same SKU was priced differently in Delhi vs Mumbai, impacting brand uniformity and partner negotiations.
Manual Tracking Overhead
Internal teams relied on app screenshots and manual checks, missing price changes and category-level insights.

Product Data Scrape deployed a real-time Grocery Discount Intelligence API that scraped:
