Uni.trading — building materials prices aggregator
Background
Unit trading is a young company from Russia. It has one of the largest online stores of building materials. The team contacted us to create a resource that will gather all relevant information on the building materials market to simplify the work of manufacturers, buyers, distributors, and online stores.
What we had to do
Create a price aggregator
Develop a CRM system for data management
Implement a notification system
What made the task complicated is that it was necessary to aggregate information in real-time. It is a large flow of data that must be processed constantly and at the same time to generate specific reports based on it. These notifications should be sent to users of the service at the slightest price change from a competitor.

What was done
As a result, the new platform was able to solve a huge number of problems for suppliers and online stores. The website provides real-time monitoring of actual prices for retailers, data on promotions, discounts and the availability of competitors' products. There is a functionality to calculate the best prices according to an individual model, the process of product repricing, and analysis of competitors.
The API of this platform was already used by more than a dozen online stores, over 200 active building materials suppliers have registered.
