Prisync

Avantages

TL;DR
After many failed attempts in E-comm (security products), we started using Prisync and suddenly we are selling and with a profit.

And for the long version -
We were trying few times with few advertising agencies to start our E-comm business (selling products online that we buy in stock anyway and therefor have a good price for).

Every attempt was finished after few month each on the losing side and each company gave us feedback for the failed attepts - feedbacl like "change the checkout", "change the design of the website" etc.

We did and still no success.

In the end we understood (after setting up presence in Amazon) that the main issue was pricing, we advertised for products we were not the cheapest in the shopping results so potential customers just went in (and we payed for that traffic), read about the product and went back to Google and bought the cheapest price that was presented.

So after a small research we came across Prisync and after we set up the API conection and the Smart Match feature suddenly we start selling!

What all the advertisers we had before didn't thought of or couldn't solve Prisync did - and in a very good way.

Inconvénients

Didn't found one yet but I started using the API only resently.
As of now things work great from our side

Avantages

Dynamic Pricing and Daily reports automatically generated.

Inconvénients

Initial setup does take some time and man power if done at the organizational level instead of having Prisync manually scrape(Manual Scrape does deliver incredible results).

Avantages

Easy to use, regular reports available, availability monitoring, competitors' sku can be included in the comparison

Inconvénients

Set-up is quite time-consuming. Price comparison is limited to the websites which we set up, whereas we can see more websites from local comparison websites. Need to spend lots of time to maintain and update the URL if competitors' relative products are updated.

Avantages

It is simple and functional and allows you to keep a considerable amount of articles under control by viewing the daily excel file that the platform sends

Inconvénients

Sometimes troubleshooting takes a long time for the support team

Pourquoi passer à Prisync

Avantages

The SmartMatch is the best, the system keeps searching URLs on the web for you, which saves a lot of time.

Inconvénients

The MAP Monitoring has been surprising me, but still, there are maybe some accomplishments to deliver, such as a better report specific for MAP Monitoring. Today I still have to export the data and upload it to my own excel sheet, where I can manage the data the way I can see who is violating our prices and who is not, in a way that combines all competitors' violator listings together.

Pourquoi passer à Prisync

Avantages

Prisync has truly transformed our approach. It's incredibly user-friendly, with clear and insightful reports. Their customer support is exceptional—they guided us through setup and have remained responsive whenever we've had questions or concerns.

With Prisync, we've unlocked invaluable insights into our market positioning, making pricing strategy management a breeze.

Inconvénients

We're unable to export the competitor URLs ourselves, but they're happy to do so for us upon request.

Avantages

I get the data that I need about the pricing of our competitors in an easy to use format. The API and customer support are excellent.

Inconvénients

It's a simple product, and does exactly what I need.

Avantages

As with all products, there is a little bit of set up required but the reward is there. The ability to monitor thousands of URL's and get real time feedback has been incredible for us to understand where we sit in the market, and where the market is moving.

Inconvénients

I strongly that you use the hybrid system, as you might not get the results you are after if you only choice a "channel based" or the ''url based'' systems.

Avantages

I use Prisync to ensure that our pricing is competitive. We sell products online and need to ensure that our prices are not higher. This tool gives me several different ways to look at the data.

Inconvénients

The only issue I have with Prisync is that there are times that the link seems that it doesn't work for particular websites so the competitor pricing doesn't appear in these instances.

Avantages

being able to reach price history .
Interface is really simple and easy to use.
The communication of the team reaaly fast and qualified.
They lead you how to benefit from the system more.

Inconvénients

Change of URLs should be controlled manually

Avantages

Integration of the product was trouble-free.

Inconvénients

The Dashboard is insightful. However. extra customisations to what information can be displayed would be a potential improvement.

Avantages

The one thing I like most about Prisync is the ability to analyze and follow up on development of our listings at resellers globally, the availability and the price deviations - both deviations between resellers and deviations compared to competitors. A user-friendly portal makes it easy to updated products and add new items when needed. The people at Prisync have been very helpful from start in setting up the accounts, making customizations, and help with technical obstacles at different resellers webpages. I warmly recommend using Prisync if you are interested in the listings, availability, and price information of your and your competitors products.

Inconvénients

The most challenging with tool, and most time-consuming, was to onboard the products and making sure each account retrieved the data correctly from the resellers webpage. This required many hours of work and months before everything was correctly set up. Issues with the URLs such as not retrieving the correct stock information, prices differing in the portal compared to the daily excel files, or websites that are 'blocking' the tool from retrieving the data. Additionally, these issues was not identified by Prisync from start, but from our usage of it where a lot of the data still needed to be gathered manually. The daily excel reports includes a lot of information which could be simplified. To fully use the data retrieved by the tool it is required that you have some Excel skills of your own to get a better overview and analysis of the data retrieved by the tool.

Avantages

The way the software is organized makes it very convenient to use. It is very easy to find your products, your competitor products and price increases with this software. Bulk uploading URL's is also amazingly efficient ans saves an unbelievable amount of time.

Inconvénients

I honestly do not have anything bad to say about this software.

Avantages

The setup and ease of use. Support is incredible!

Inconvénients

There is nothing I don't like. I enjoy every part of Prisync.

Avantages

Excellent service with fast and friendly support, we've been using the product about 2 years and the biggest problem in e-commerce nowadays is price tracking, thanks to prisync; completely solves this problem.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it doesn't load on desktep and mobile, it would be good if the service has an app for mobile.

Avantages

Ease of use

Inconvénients

My model numbers are currently muddled in upper and lower case which looks confusing. This was done by error when you did an automated data input for us. You say you cant correct it, which I find hard to believe.

Avantages

Easy to check price movements by competitors

Inconvénients

Some manual work and follow-up to get value for money

Avantages

Very easy to use, requires just one time setup and all the rest is updated regulary quit frequnetly so it guaranteed most accurate data
Customer service is superb.
Fair cost.

Inconvénients

Dynamic pricing is very useful, but rules must be perfected.
It should be possible to choose when schedul the updating of prices.
There is no alerts information for broken URL.

Avantages

Easy, intuitive interface, great customer service, very good value for money.

Inconvénients

Automated competitor match could be released already, it would make software even more powerful.

Avantages

very easy to use, accurate and daily summary email of changes is great

Inconvénients

occasionally the system will not be able to correctly pick up a competitors price

Avantages

The usability. The overview. Great support that is prompt to answer and help you out if there's a problem.

Inconvénients

The speed of the server at times. (Rare). I get the occasional error from competitors links. Other than that I don't see anything else.

Avantages

Very easy to use and for new members of the team to pick up when needed. Delivers good quality results and helps us keep track of competitors. Customer service is incredibly good when we've had questions.

Inconvénients

It would be useful to have some better filtering, perhaps with action points to be taken (e.g. where we are not JOINT cheapest). It should be noted there are improvements all the time though so maybe this is possible by the time of reading this review.

Avantages

The interface is very user friendly and straight forward.

Inconvénients

Issues with links not working, so have to manually check and report links, which is time consuming.

Avantages

Ease of use, and excellent customer service, nothing seems to be a problem for them, always quick responses.

Inconvénients

Can take a little time to update URL's when competitors change their URL's, but nothing that cant be fixed in a short amount of time

Avantages

The best thing about Prisync's software is how quick it is to use, i am able to simply export a spreadsheet with my preferred brands or products and i can quickly see/use the spreadsheet to see which products we can increase or decrease in priced to match our company competitors.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately, the only downsides to Prisync is that the filter categories are not that accurate. For example, to filter your products into 'I'm Cheapest' filters the products that are already matching competitor prices. Which means you do need to filter through the products to actually work out which ones we are cheapest on throughout our competitors instead of it just showing which ones we are actually cheapest on.
