In the year 2025, the e-commerce industry runs on data, whether it is for real-time price assessments, inventory monitoring, sentiment analysis or even product discovery.

It is used by over 20,000 companies including retailers, brands and SaaS providers.
Real-Time Data To Streamline Operations
E-commerce is changing rapidly. There is pricing, promotion and product launching on an hourly and in some cases, daily basis. Retail Shake, a SaaS competitive intelligence tool, scraped data to enable French retailers to dynamically change prices on processed data. One client used web sourced data and altered their pricing strategy on a daily basis and avoided costly blindspots that could have resulted in losing millions in revenue.
This is made possible by Bright Data simulating thousands of individual consumers simultaneously accessing dozens of webpages, allowing public web pages to be accessed for automated decision systems.

Bright Data has advanced its offerings beyond simple proxies. The company’s eCommerce Scraper service provides APIs or no-code interfacing for obtaining various datasets such as product listings, reviews, and pricing in real time. Retailers utilize these feeds for catalog comparison, sentiment analysis, and relative benchmark checking for placement. They claim, at Bright Data, with the API driven scraping and proxy layering, the infrastructure success rates are over 99.9%.

This is packaged by Bright Data as Bright Insights, a SaaS-based market intelligence toolkit powered by AI and proxy services.
What This means For E-commerce Players
