The purpose of the Competitive Price Monitoring DAG is to provide consumer product companies with a robust mechanism for tracking competitor pricing and adjusting their own pricing strategies accordingly. The DAG ingests data from multiple online sources, including e-commerce websites, competitor catalogs, and market research reports. The ingestion pipeline employs web scraping and API integrations to gather real-time pricing information, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the competitive landscape. Once the data is collected, it undergoes a series of processing and transformation steps that include data normalization to standardize price formats and units, followed by quality control checks to ensure accuracy and reliability. These quality controls involve cross-referencing data points and applying statistical methods to identify outliers or discrepancies. The processed data is then integrated into a centralized dashboard that provides visual insights into pricing trends, with alerts configured to notify stakeholders of significant price changes. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as price variance, market share impact, and competitor pricing strategies are monitored continuously. In the event of a failure in the pipeline, the DAG is designed to automatically restart, ensuring uninterrupted surveillance of competitor pricing. The business value of this DAG lies in its ability to empower consumer product companies to remain competitive in a dynamic market, optimize pricing strategies, and ultimately enhance profitability through informed decision-making.
