Digital shelf analytics (DSA) is the systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting publicly available data from retail websites (especially e-commerce platforms like Amazon). The goal is to gain actionable insights into how your products perform compared to competitors and to optimize your online sales strategy.

Think of DSA as giving you a powerful set of eyes and ears on the vast digital retail landscape. Here’s how a comprehensive Digital Shelf Analytics solution empowers your brand:

• Data Acquisition: Specialized technology continuously crawls thousands of e-commerce sites. This provides a real-time, global view of the digital shelf.
• Monitoring: A DSA solution lets you track the following critical aspects across retailers and sellers’ websites:

  • Content: Monitor the accuracy and consistency of product details, images, and descriptions.
  • Competitor Stock Levels: Get intel on when competitors are out of stock, enabling you to capitalize on opportunities.
  • Competitor Keywords: See what terms your competitors are targeting to inform your own SEO strategies.
  • Share of Search: Understand how your brand’s visibility ranks compared to the competition across different markets or product categories.

• Analysis: DSA doesn’t just collect data – it turns it into knowledge. Advanced solutions analyze the information gathered across product detail pages, search results, and all areas where your brand is represented. This analysis reveals patterns and insights into:

  • Pricing: Are your prices competitive, or are you being undercut?
  • Placement: Are your products prominently displayed in search results?
  • Promotion: What promotional strategies are successful and where can you improve?
  • Brand Integrity: Ensure your brand guidelines are followed, product information is accurate, and your overall brand representation is consistent.
