Key Challenges

Key Challenges

Eliminating Data Gaps, Inefficient Reporting, and Weak Customer Understanding

Disconnected

Lack of Unified Layer

Crawled pricing data existed only in scattered Excel files with inconsistent structure.


Inefficient Reporting

Fragmented UUID Matching

Product identity across retailers was unstructured, blocking trend analysis and matching.


Limited Intelligence

Manual ETL Bottlenecks

Delays in integrating crawl files made it impossible to maintain up-to-date analytics.


Strategic Roadmap

The project began by building a centralized BigQuery warehouse to ingest and normalize all historical Excel-based crawled data. Python scripts were created to clean inconsistent formats, extract relevant fields, and manually map UUIDs to each product.To support fresh crawl data, the vendor transitioned to pushing files directly into sharded BigQuery tables. This enabled the creation of scheduled queries and stored procedures that performed automatic table detection, schema checks, and merge operations. For UUID mapping of new products, a user-friendly Google Sheet interface was developed. This allowed the client to manually assign UUIDs, and trigger a backend App Script to push those mappings directly into BigQuery, seamlessly feeding the downstream analytics pipeline.

Strategic questions that guided development included:

● How can we standardize product identity across retailers with inconsistent naming?

● What automation minimizes manual handling of recurring data drops?

● How do we balance structured UUID mapping with user-friendly tools?

● What architecture supports long-term trend analysis and comparison at scale?

Execution Approach

Automated Price Intelligence Pipeline with Unified Data Mapping

To resolve fragmented and outdated pricing analytics, we built a robust pipeline to centralize, clean, and analyze product pricing data. Legacy Excel files were parsed using Python scripts to normalize historical data and ingest it into BigQuery.

Automated ETL triggers—powered by stored procedures and scheduled queries—processed incoming data pushed by external vendors. A Google Sheets interface enabled manual UUID assignment, with App Scripts syncing updates back to BigQuery for structured product identity.

Finally, Looker Studio dashboards were built on this standardized data layer, providing dynamic, accurate insights into pricing trends and retailer comparisons at scale.
