System Overview

The SME E-COMPASS data mining services comprise five integrated on-line services provided through the E-COMPASS cockpit (ECC). The services within the E-COMPASS cockpit are described in short in the following, the details will be provided in the detail page for each function. An overview of the system’s start page and the links to all functions is shown in the following Figure.

1. Price Monitor: Collects the prices of selected products directly from the own e-shop and the e-shops of defined competitors and compares the prices. Thus, the function supports the users in defining adequate prices for their products and lets them know and identify novel and critical price trends in time.
2. Competitor Profiler: Analyses the pricing behaviour of defined competitors based on the results of the prices collected by the Price Monitor. The function provides deeper knowledge about the competitors and their behaviour, thus the users can e.g. adapt their own pricing behaviour to the behaviour of the most successful competitor.
