Retail data accuracy is one of the toughest challenges in price monitoring. Wiser Solutions solves this through a system of automation, human oversight, and AI innovation -- ensuring 98%+ match accuracy and 92%+ completeness across billions of listings. From anomaly detection to self-healing data workflows, Wiser is building a future where data quality maintains itself, creating a foundation of trust customers can rely on.
Every brand leader knows that good retail data drives good decisions. But few talk openly about how hard it is to keep that data accurate. In retail intelligence, the challenge isn’t getting information, it’s knowing that the information you get is both complete and correct.
Every week, Wiser’s systems capture billions of product listings across thousands of domains. Those pages change constantly: prices fluctuate hourly, SKUs shift in and out of stock, and site structures update without notice. Even small layout changes can affect extraction accuracy at scale.
That’s why data quality, the consistency, completeness, and correctness of the data, is the single hardest problem to solve in this space. And it’s where Wiser has made its deepest investment.
To understand why this work is so challenging, consider the nature of retail websites today. They are dynamic, constantly evolving environments with different layouts, protection mechanisms, and update schedules. A crawler that performed flawlessly yesterday might fail tomorrow after a page redesign or anti-bot update.
Meanwhile, the same product might appear in multiple formats, as a single item, a bundle, or a private-label variant. Retailers often reuse images and descriptors, making matches difficult even for trained humans. Multiply that by tens of thousands of SKUs across hundreds of domains, and it’s clear why perfection can’t be achieved through automation alone.
This is why Wiser combines large-scale automation with human oversight and continuous innovation in data science. We monitor, validate, and correct billions of data points to deliver the most reliable dataset in the market.
Improving data quality isn’t about one fix, it’s a system of checks, validation layers, and accountability. Wiser’s approach focuses on three principles: proactive monitoring, layered validation, and transparent accountability. Together, these systems represent retail data accuracy best practices in action, combining monitoring, validation, and transparency into a single quality framework.
Wiser maintains strict quantitative benchmarks:
These metrics are tracked, reported, and reviewed daily, ensuring your teams can rely on consistent, trusted insights.
Retail changes fast, and maintaining high-quality data requires infrastructure that can detect, adapt, and correct quickly. Wiser is investing in a multi-phase AI and automation roadmap to deliver a self-improving data ecosystem.
Below are the key components already deployed or in development. Together, they represent the future of how we’ll maintain the industry’s highest standards for accuracy and completeness.
We’re developing automated visual checks that ensure the extracted price matches what actually appears on a retailer’s page. The system reviews screenshots to detect layout issues, pop-ups, or other disruptions that can distort price capture. This capability is being tested internally across high-traffic domains and will help us verify data at the same level a shopper would see.
Our data science team is expanding the use of natural language processing and machine learning to better identify product relationships, such as multi-packs, bundles, and private labels that resemble branded items. Early results already show significant improvements in match accuracy and efficiency, especially in complex categories with shifting retailer formatting.
At Wiser, we deployed automated alerts for outliers in price, assortment, and availability. When data deviates from expected patterns, the system flags it for our team to review.
According to McKinsey, automated anomaly detection can cut manual QA time by up to 80% in retail data operations, a benchmark Wiser is tracking toward as it scales real-time anomaly identification across all monitored domains.
The next phase of our roadmap focuses on:
These workflows resolve extraction issues before customers ever see them; the foundation of self-healing data quality.
Together, these capabilities drive a future where the dataset becomes more accurate with every issue detected and every domain learned.
Delivering accurate data at scale is never a one-time achievement... It’s a discipline. As retailer environments evolve, so must our systems, algorithms, and operational processes. That’s why Wiser treats data quality improvement as an ongoing engineering and customer success priority, supported by defined milestones and measurable progress.
The AI investments outlined above are not standalone projects. They are phases in a larger roadmap designed to strengthen every layer of our data ecosystem — from extraction logic and validation workflows to automated anomaly detection and, ultimately, self-healing data. Each new capability feeds into the next, ensuring that improvements compound over time rather than occur in isolation.
Every quarter, our teams evaluate results from pilot programs, benchmark new accuracy and completeness thresholds, and incorporate customer feedback into our next round of enhancements. When a retailer changes a site layout, or a new promotional format emerges, our systems learn from that event and integrate those lessons across all monitored domains.
This continuous improvement cycle ensures that every customer benefits from collective progress, whether it’s faster detection of issues, better matching performance, or reduced manual intervention. The result is a data foundation that grows more stable, intelligent, and trustworthy over time.
Data quality is the foundation of trust. Every pricing analysis, promotion audit, and assortment decision relies on the integrity of the data underneath.
Accuracy is not a static metric, it’s a standard that must be continuously reinforced. Wiser’s roadmap for automation and AI is designed to strengthen that standard with each iteration:
Data accuracy isn’t a performance metric. It’s a promise.
