Big fan of the Pricespider platform
What do you like best?
My favorite components are the real-time local inventory down to the store level and sales attribution for the online retailer referrals
What do you dislike?
Not a lot of the brick and mortar retailers are able to provide the real-time inventory data, not a fault of Pricespider, but, it impacts the experience to the user nevertheless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're only selling via reseller/retailer channel and not selling direct, I think this solution is a must have for you. And if you are selling direct, but believe in offering an omnichannel experience for your customers, then this is a solid option for that.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The Where to Buy module is beneficial for both the user and the manufacturer offering it. For the user, it provides them with a seamless experience of all of the available purchase paths available for a given SKU, whether it be through your site, Amazon, or another retailer or dealer. For the manufacturer or brand, the tool can act as an alleviator of channel pressure if you're selling direct and can also be utilized in part to enforce MAP as you can automatically drop any of your resellers from the Where to Buy box if they're selling below MAP.
