Methodology

How we make sure our results are reliable

Market data is only worth something if you can trust the figures. Here is what lets you check every price and every match, and what kemmob does not claim to do.

Public, dated and verifiable data

kemmob reads what any visitor sees on a product page without signing in: title, price, strikethrough price, photos, specifications, availability, delivery fees and customer reviews. It does not access any private area and collects no personal data about shoppers.

Every price is dated and links back to the competitor's page, so you can always check it yourself. The price history builds up reading after reading, promotions included, with nothing for you to enter.

Prices that are current when you need them

  • Every night: prices for your tracked best sellers and their competitors, and the new sellers that appeared on those products.
  • Several times a week: the full catalogs of the retailers kemmob follows and new products on the market.
  • Every morning: alerts, ranked new products and the monitoring email are waiting for you.

Real competitors, not products that look vaguely alike

When an EAN or a manufacturer reference links two products, their identity is settled. Otherwise, kemmob vision, our visual recognition built for furniture, finds your product at other retailers, even renamed or photographed differently.

Looking alike is not enough. A product with a different size, a different seat count, a mirrored corner or another function (sofa bed, recliner, storage, table extension) is not shown as a competitor: a false pair would produce a false price gap, then a bad decision.

A score and its reasons on every pair

Each pair carries a kemmob score from 0 to 100 and shows what agrees and what differs: seats, width, fabric, functions. You see why two products were matched, not just that they were.

A product is only shown as a competitor if its identity is proven, if you confirmed it, or if it passed all our checks. Otherwise it stays “close”: it appears in the list, and you decide.

You stay in control

Each pair is confirmed or rejected in one click. Your decisions are kept, and kemmob vision takes them into account in later searches: the more you use it, the better the results fit your market.

What kemmob does not do

  • It does not know your competitors' sales volumes. Review counts and a seller's visibility only give an indication.
  • It does not read in-store prices.
  • It currently handles prices in euros. The full catalogs it follows belong to French retailers and marketplaces; in your other sales countries, kemmob spots the sellers of your best sellers without following their whole catalog. UK and US retailers are not covered yet.
  • A heavily staged photo, or no photo of the product on its own, lowers matching accuracy. A photo of the product on a plain background gives the best results.

Your data stays yours

The platform is hosted in France, by OVHcloud. Your catalog, prices and decisions are never sold or shown to other customers.

Some tasks, such as reading product pages, rely on specialized providers. Only product information is sent to them. Details are in the privacy policy.

Judge it on your own products

The free test runs a real search on one of your best sellers and shows the score of every result.
