How a Wayfair Price Tracker Saved 12-25% Costs for E-Commerce Businesses

Summary

Our client, a major e-commerce business in the USA, approached us seeking a solution to track and analyze Wayfair price datasets. Wayfair is an e-commerce giant that lists thousands of products across categories ranging from furniture, kitchen, and home improvement/decoration products to pet, baby products, and appliances.
