Company Featured: Product Data Scrape
In the fast-paced U.S. retail market, inventory mismanagement often leads to lost sales, surplus stock, and ineffective promotional spend. In 2025, one mid-sized U.S. retailer optimized inventory with Amazon, Walmart & Target data by partnering with Product Data Scrape to tackle this exact challenge.
This case study explores how they automated stock availability tracking and regional pricing comparisons across Amazon, Walmart, and Target—and achieved a 19% increase in stock turnover and a 12% improvement in pricing competitiveness within three months.
Background
The client, a nationwide U.S. retailer specializing in consumer electronics and personal care products, was facing
- Overstocked items in regions with weak demand
- Out-of-stock scenarios in cities with high traffic
- Inability to match Amazon and Walmart’s regional pricing dynamically
Their legacy system relied on once-a-day data pulls from select competitor sites, which often missed fast-moving trends and led to misaligned pricing.
Objective
The retailer partnered with Product Data Scrape to:
- Scrape hourly stock availability from Amazon, Walmart, and Target
- Compare pricing by region and pin code
- Get automated alerts when a competitor had low stock or ran a regional deal
- Integrate this data into their inventory and pricing dashboard

Use Case Highlights
Regional Inventory Rebalancing
A personal grooming product was understocked in Florida but overstocked in Ohio. Walmart’s Florida site showed the SKU was “Out of Stock.” Using Product Data Scrape insights, the client re-routed stock to Florida—resulting in:
- 2-day stock sell-out in Tampa
- 1.3x return on regional logistics cost
Smarter Promotion Strategy
By identifying when Target had low availability on electronics, the client launched timed Flash Sales on their own platform and Google Shopping—boosting CTR by 17%.
Competitive Price Matching
The client built a dynamic pricing model based on scraped pricing from Amazon and Walmart:
- Triggered auto-price adjustments when Walmart or Amazon dropped prices by 5% or more
- Maintained profitability by setting minimum margin rules
