Track competitor shelves in real time

Price cuts at 9am, a flash sale at noon, a bestseller quietly discontinued overnight. OwlSonar watches competitor catalogues, prices, campaigns and stock so your pricing and merchandising react in hours — not at the next manual check.

React in hours, not at the next spreadsheet refresh.
