Scout

What Scout is

Scout is Connective3’s paid media tool for comparing competitor prices across a product catalogue. The bespoke dashboard tracks more than 2.4 million products using 150 retailer sources, with prices refreshed daily. It shows price movements across a competitive set and groups products as above, below, or at market, helping identify possible margin risks and opportunities. Scout also tracks competitor price shifts around promotions, peak trading, and stock changes, and flags availability gaps. Catalogue data can be viewed at category and brand level, while price position can be linked to ad performance to inform shopping campaign spend. Connective3 configures comparisons around products, variants, and categories against 3–5 competitors. A standalone free report provides one competitive pricing snapshot based on a website URL and 3–5 competitors, delivered within 5 working days. It includes paid media team analysis, SKU-level recommendations, margin opportunity mapping, and a prioritised action plan. Ongoing Scout access is available to Connective3 clients; its price is available on request.
