Common misconceptions about monitoring suppliers and prices in online stores

Many online store owners and managers overlook the key role of monitoring product suppliers, prices and availability. Let's look at the most common misconceptions and see how Elbuz, with automatic processing of price lists, can help solve these problems.

No.1. "My suppliers always provide up-to-date data."

🤔 As often happens: the store owner trusts suppliers and does not check the relevance of the data. However, in reality, prices may change, the product may be discontinued or run out of stock at the supplier's warehouse. As a result, the store risks losing customers due to outdated data.

Expert Opinion: “Monitoring the relevance of data from suppliers is a necessity, especially in the e-commerce industry, where speed of response to changes is important for a successful business.”

No. 2. "I can keep track of all the changes manually."

🤔 Some managers are confident that they can control all changes manually. However, with the increase in the range and number of suppliers, this becomes an impossible task. Manual monitoring wastes time, increases the likelihood of errors and reduces business efficiency.

Expert opinion: “Automating the monitoring process not only saves time, but also improves data accuracy, which is a key success factor in online trading.”

No. 3. "Increasing the range does not require special attention."

🤔 Many people believe that simply adding new products will lead to increased sales. However, without adequate monitoring of demand, prices and competitors, this may be a false assumption. Without timely data analysis, assortment growth can lead to market saturation and reduced profits.

Expert Opinion: “Automated assortment monitoring allows store owners to respond to changes in demand and competition, adapt their strategy and remain competitive.”
