Price and buy on real signals
Know what’s actually selling and for how much. Sold-item tracking and competitor monitoring feed demand and price signals straight into your quote pricing and buy decisions.
What it does
Demand and price, observed
- Marketplace sold-item tracking logs what’s selling and at what price over time.
- Competitor price monitoring watches key sources for price and availability moves.
- Velocity signals feed the buy-candidate ranking so you restock what moves.
- Comp pricing feeds the market tier of the quote engine.
The mechanism — collect, normalize, use — is part of the core product. The specific sources are per-tenant configuration, swapped to match your vertical.

In practice
Demand and price, on the record
| SKU | Sold 7d | Avg price | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNS-1200 | 14 | $206 | Demand ▲ — restock |
| DRV-0630 | 3 | $1,210 | Competitor price ▼ 6% |
| PMP-4820 | 9 | $640 | Steady · margin healthy |
| CBL-0410 | 1 | $71 | Slow · hold buys |
Sold-item velocity and competitor moves, per SKU.
Turning signals into decisions
SNS-1200 sold 14 units this week at a healthy $206 average — the signal says restock, and that demand score feeds straight into the buy-candidate ranking. A competitor just dropped DRV-0630 6%, so it’s flagged to review before your next quote goes out at the old comp price.
CBL-0410 is barely moving, so it’s marked to hold on purchasing. The same comps feed the market tier of the quote engine, so your pricing reflects what’s actually selling — not last quarter’s guess.
- Velocity feeds what to restock
- Competitor moves flag pricing to revisit
- Comps feed the quote engine’s market tier
