E-commerce

Assortment, pricing and availability intelligence across the marketplace landscape

Digital commerce is the most instrumented market on the public web — and the most contested. Catalogs, prices, promotions and stock states are constantly in motion across marketplaces, D2C brands and vertical retailers, and every one of those movements is a signal about strategy, supply and demand.

Heroku gives e-commerce teams a continuous, matched view of that landscape: competitor assortments and their changes, price and promotion history at SKU level, availability patterns, and the product attribute structures behind category trends. The output plugs directly into pricing engines, assortment reviews and weekly trading meetings.

Marketplace monitoring is the sleeper use case here. Brand-side teams rarely have any structured view of how resellers present them.
