U.S. Retailer Optimizes Inventory with Amazon, Walmart & Target Data

Company Featured: Product Data Scrape

In the fast-paced U.S. retail market, inventory mismanagement often leads to lost sales, surplus stock, and ineffective promotional spend. In 2025, one mid-sized U.S. retailer optimized inventory with Amazon, Walmart & Target data by partnering with Product Data Scrape to tackle this exact challenge.

This case study explores how they automated stock availability tracking and regional pricing comparisons across Amazon, Walmart, and Target—and achieved a 19% increase in stock turnover and a 12% improvement in pricing competitiveness within three months.

Background

The client, a nationwide U.S. retailer specializing in consumer electronics and personal care products, was facing

Overstocked items in regions with weak demand

Out-of-stock scenarios in cities with high traffic

Inability to match Amazon and Walmart’s regional pricing dynamically

Their legacy system relied on once-a-day data pulls from select competitor sites, which often missed fast-moving trends and led to misaligned pricing.

Objective

The retailer partnered with Product Data Scrape to:

Scrape hourly stock availability from Amazon, Walmart, and Target

Compare pricing by region and pin code

Get automated alerts when a competitor had low stock or ran a regional deal

Integrate this data into their inventory and pricing dashboard
