Price monitoring for Hong Kong retailers: know what's losing money by 9am

6 July 2026 · FlowMerchAI

If you carry hundreds to thousands of products, checking competitor prices by hand is impossible: one staff member covers thirty to forty items an hour, with typos along the way. The usual outcome — spot-check the expensive items, and discover the rest were overpriced only when a customer tells you, or quietly bleed margin without knowing.

How a daily price report works

You provide a product list (SKU, current price, cost or floor margin). The system compares each item against market references, calculates the gap and margin risk, and ranks the items that need attention: undercut by the market, below your floor margin, or stale data needing review.

Crucially: the report never auto-reprices. Every suggestion is reviewed and approved by a person. Automation does the compiling; humans keep the decision.

What you need to prepare

One Excel/CSV: SKU, product name, current price, plus cost or floor margin (for the risk calculation). No connection to your webstore or ERP, no change to how you work.

How to start

FlowMerchAI's Price Pipeline starts with a free consultation. If there is a fit, begin with one clear workflow from HK$18,800, or use a controlled report scope first if you only need to validate report value.
