PursuitBot is an effortless monitoring system designed specifically for Amazon sellers. It eliminates the "data chaos" of manual price checking by automatically tracking competitor prices and stock status, delivering clear insights through a clean dashboard.

The Problem: Manual Price War Fatigue

Amazon sellers often spend 20+ hours per week manually checking competitor ASINs. They struggle with:

  • Choice Overload β†’ Sifting through endless logs and browser tabs to spot changes.
  • Missed Opportunities β†’ Losing sales because a competitor dropped prices while they weren't looking.
  • Inventory Blindness β†’ Not knowing when a competitor goes out of stock or returns to market.
  • Spreadsheet Hell β†’ Trying to maintain historical trends in messy, manual files.

Sellers should be optimizing their strategy, not refreshing Amazon pages.

The Solution: Autopilot for Competitive Intel

PursuitBot (available at pursuitbot.com) turns raw price checks into actionable signals. It acts as a 24/7 watchtower that records every market move and alerts the seller only when action is needed.

Core Capabilities:

  1. Smart Tracking β†’ Monitors competitor ASINs for price and inventory changes at the frequency you choose (up to 4x daily).
  2. Intelligent Alerts β†’ Automatic email notifications for price drops, stock changes, or "back-in-stock" events.
  3. Visual Analytics β†’ A weekly activity timeline that highlights which brands and categories are most volatile.
  4. Easy Connectivity β†’ One-click exports to CSV, Google Sheets, or Airtable for custom reporting.

Why It Stands Out

  • Multi-Tier Scalability β†’ Designed with flexible plans (Starter, Growth, Scale) to serve everyone from solo sellers to large multi-brand agencies.
  • Signal over Noise β†’ Proprietary logic that tracks "total saved" and margin hints, helping sellers prioritize SKUs that deserve their time.
  • Bulletproof Automation β†’ Built from the ground up to handle thousands of products across multiple sellers with secure data separation.
  • Dead Simple UX β†’ Complex monitoring infrastructure behind the scenes, but a "Set it and Forget it" experience for the user.

The Impact (Real Business Results)

  • 20+ Hours Saved β†’ Weekly manual checking eliminated for every active client.
  • Optimal Pricing β†’ Real-time data allows sellers to match or beat competitor moves within hours, not days.
  • Proven Traction β†’ Currently serving multiple paying clients with a validated subscription model.
  • Market Intelligence β†’ Provides a historical record of competitor positioning that was previously impossible to track manually.

Technical Highlights

As the Lead Architect & Developer, I built PursuitBot's backend using a robust automation stack:

  • n8n for complex workflow orchestration and scheduled Amazon checks.
  • Airtable & Supabase for centralized, high-performance data storage.
  • Render for reliable, cloud-based deployment of the automation engine.

My Role: From Ground-Up Build to Scale

I designed and implemented the entire system to be both powerful and scalable.

  • Architecture Design β†’ Built the multi-tier monitoring engine that serves concurrent clients with different needs.
  • Scraping Strategy β†’ Developed a resilient way to track thousands of ASINs without being blocked.
  • Notification Engine β†’ Created the logic for customizable alerts based on price percentage drops and stock thresholds.
