PriceSpider expands Where-to-Buy categories

Irvine, Calif. – PriceSpider has expanded availability of its Where-to-Buy (WTB) services. Previously available in the consumer electronics space, the PriceSpider WTB service is now also available and in use in the home appliance, toy, automotive parts, sporting goods and consumer packaged goods markets.



By leveraging real-time Web crawlers instead of data feeds, PriceSpider WTB technology serves up instantaneous information. The service can be integrated into a manufacturer’s website allowing consumers to see real-time pricing and stock information for online and local sellers and mobile shoppers to use their phones and/or tablets to locate and purchase products or get directions to their local sellers. Brands and retailers obtain consumer data that can be analyzed.



With the PriceSpider WTB service, consumers visiting a manufacturer’s website see all authorized/preferred sellers endorsed by the brand. In addition, consumers can directly view up-to-the-minute pricing and stock availability.



“The PriceSpider real-time Where-to-Buy engine gives consumers the ability to easily pinpoint exactly where the desired product is available and in stock, both via online and local sellers, and at what price,” said Anthony Ferry, CEO, PriceSpider. “This level of access simplifies the purchase process in a wide array of retail industries and creates happy customers who are more likely to become brand advocates.”
