Custom Data Extraction Services for Smarter Business Decisions
Businesses today have access to enormous amounts of information across websites, e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, directories, and digital channels. The challenge is not finding data—it is collecting the right data, structuring it, and turning it into useful business intelligence.
This is where Custom Data Extraction Services can help.
SAS Data Advantage provides customised data extraction and AI-powered web scraping solutions that help businesses collect publicly available web data for competitor monitoring, price intelligence, product research, market research, customer intelligence, and competitive analysis.
Instead of spending hours manually collecting information, businesses can automate data collection and receive structured datasets that are ready for analysis.
What Are Custom Data Extraction Services?
Custom Data Extraction Services involve collecting specific information from websites and online sources according to a company’s business requirements.
Every business needs different data.
An e-commerce company may need:
- Product prices
- Product descriptions
- Product availability
- Reviews
- Ratings
- Discounts
A retailer may need:
- Competitor pricing
- Product assortment
- Promotions
- Stock information
- Market trends
A QSR brand may need:
- Competitor menu prices
- New menu launches
- Promotions
- Customer reviews
- Delivery information
A customised extraction solution allows businesses to collect the data that is actually relevant to their commercial objectives.
Why Businesses Need Automated Data Extraction
Manual data collection becomes extremely difficult when hundreds or thousands of products, competitors, or websites need to be monitored.
Traditional research can result in:
- High manual effort
- Outdated information
- Inconsistent data
- Human errors
- Slow competitor analysis
- Difficulty scaling data collection
AI-powered web scraping and automated data extraction can help businesses collect and organise large volumes of publicly available information more efficiently.
This allows teams to spend less time collecting data and more time analysing it.

Depending on the project, SAS Data Advantage can develop solutions for collecting publicly available information such as:

AI Web Scraping for Large-Scale Data Collection
AI Web Scraping Services can make data collection more scalable and efficient.
Instead of manually visiting hundreds of pages, automated systems can collect publicly available information from multiple sources and convert it into structured datasets.
For example:
Website Data → Automated Extraction → Data Cleaning → Structured Dataset → Analysis → Business Intelligence
This process can help organisations build continuously updated datasets for research and monitoring.
Custom Data Extraction for Competitor Monitoring
One of the strongest use cases for data extraction is Competitor Monitoring.
Businesses can monitor publicly available information to understand what competitors are doing in the market.
For example, a retailer may want to know:
- Which products are competitors launching?
- Have competitor prices changed?
- Which products are being promoted?
- What categories are growing?
- Which products are unavailable?
- How is the competitor assortment changing?
This information can support Competitive Intelligence and better commercial planning.
Product Data Extraction for E-commerce
E-commerce companies manage large product catalogues that can change frequently.
Product Data Extraction Services can help businesses monitor:
- Product prices
- Product descriptions
- Product specifications
- Product availability
- Ratings
- Reviews
- Promotions
- Competitor products
This creates valuable Product Intelligence for e-commerce teams, category managers and pricing teams.
Price Monitoring and Pricing Intelligence
Pricing is one of the most important applications of automated data extraction.
Businesses can collect publicly available competitor pricing and use it to identify:
- Price differences
- Pricing trends
- Promotions
- Discount patterns
- Competitive pricing gaps
- Market changes
This information can feed into Pricing Intelligence and help commercial teams make more informed pricing decisions.
Market Research Powered by Web Data
Traditional market research can take significant time when information has to be collected manually from multiple sources.
Custom data extraction can support market research by collecting large volumes of publicly available information.
Businesses can use this data to analyse:
- Market trends
- Competitor activity
- Product launches
- Consumer feedback
- Pricing movements
- Category changes
This creates a more data-driven approach to Market Intelligence.
