PAIN POINTS
Why B2B Costed Margins Drift Without You Noticing
- 01
MOQ Tiers Move Without Notice
The same SKU is USD 0.88 at MOQ 100, USD 0.74 at MOQ 1,000 and USD 0.61 at MOQ 5,000. When a supplier removes or re-bands a tier, your costed margin changes overnight and nothing in your ERP tells you.
- 02
Catalogue Depth Defeats Manual Coverage
Wholesale catalogues run to tens of thousands of SKUs across suppliers, regions and currencies. Checking a sample by hand each quarter means you only ever see the SKUs you already suspected.
- 03
Cross-Border Distributor Drift
Distributors in different regions get different pricing. Without monitoring, channel conflict erupts when an end customer compares your German list price against your Polish one.
- 04
Supplier Catalogues Update Weekly
New SKUs appear, items are discontinued, lead times move. Manual reconciliation falls behind reality, so quotes go out against a cost base that no longer exists.
- 05
Currency and Lead-Time Drift Unmodelled
A supplier who did not raise their price can still cost you more after an FX move or a lead-time change. Without a dated record, you cannot separate the two.
- 06
Prices Behind a Login Never Get Tracked
Much B2B pricing sits behind an account. Anything that needs a session is quietly excluded from the spreadsheet, which is usually where the largest volumes are.

HOW IT WORKS
How Supplier Price Monitoring Works
01
Map Your Supplier Universe
Suppliers, B2B portals, distributor sites and competitor wholesalers across regions.
02
Scrapewise Refreshes on Schedule
Wholesale prices, MOQ tiers, lead times and currency extracted automatically and diffed against the last run.
03
Pipe Into Your ERP
Load structured B2B data into SAP, Oracle, Dynamics or your in-house pricing engine through the REST API or a CSV export.
One Supplier Price List, Diffed Against Last Week
Supplier price monitoring is a diff, not a scrape. The value is not today's number — it is the difference between today's number and the one you quoted against.
Capture the List as Published
Each supplier page is fetched with JavaScript rendering, so tier tables built after page load are read the same as static ones. Where pricing sits behind an account, the run carries your session so the price captured is the price your account is actually offered — not the public guide price.
Diff Every Tier, Not Just the Headline
supplier-b.cn still shows USD 0.88 at MOQ 1,000, so a headline check says nothing changed. The MOQ 5,000 band that used to sit at USD 0.69 is gone. The diff flags a removed tier, which is the change that actually moves your landed cost on a full-container order.
Deliver a Costed Row Your ERP Can Read
The change arrives as a dated row with supplier, SKU, MOQ band, unit price, currency, lead time and the previous value — by REST API or CSV into SAP, Dynamics, Oracle or a pricing sheet. Your margin model reads it directly; nobody opens a supplier portal to retype a number.
What a Supplier Price Has to Carry Before It Is Comparable
A wholesale price on its own is not a cost. Four fields decide whether two numbers can be put side by side at all.
MOQ Band
A price means nothing without the volume it is quoted at. Bands differ per supplier and are frequently re-cut, so every tier is captured separately rather than flattened into one 'price' column.
- moq_min
- moq_max
- unit_price
- tier_label
Currency and FX Date
The same supplier quoting USD and a distributor quoting EUR are not comparable without the date the price was read. Every row is stamped so an FX move can be separated from a real price rise.
- currency
- checked_at
- source_url
Lead Time and Incoterm
A cheaper unit price at a 60-day lead time or a different incoterm is not cheaper. Where the supplier publishes these, they ride along with the price instead of being reconstructed later from memory.
- lead_time_days
- incoterm
- min_order_value
Identity of the Listing
Supplier titles are inconsistent — '2 m braided', '2M 60W', '3A 2 meter'. Listings are matched back to your internal SKU so a price change lands on the right line in your cost model.
- your_sku
- supplier_name
- supplier_sku
- matched_title
Why the Lowest Quoted Price Is Usually Not the Cheapest
Most bad sourcing decisions come from comparing two numbers that were never comparable. Three cases account for almost all of it.
A Lower Price at a Higher MOQ
USD 0.61 at MOQ 5,000 beats USD 0.74 at MOQ 1,000 only if you can absorb five times the stock. Compared at the volume you actually order, the cheaper headline is often the more expensive decision.
A Different Specification Under the Same Name
A 3 A cable and a 60 W cable are both listed as 'USB-C 2 m'. Folding them into one price series produces a cost trend that tracks two different products and explains a margin gap that was never real.
Price Excluding Freight, Tooling or Incoterm Differences
An EXW quote and a DDP quote are separated by a shipping cost that does not appear on either page. Monitoring records what was published and which terms it was published under, so the comparison happens in your model, not by eye.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about supplier price monitoring with Scrapewise.
Yes. Every visible price tier per SKU is captured as its own row — base price, MOQ 100, MOQ 1,000 and so on — with the MOQ band stored alongside the price. A removed or re-banded tier shows up as a change even when the headline price is unmoved.
