PRODUCT PRICE TRACKING · Workflow idea

Keep an eye on changing prices without letting a data point make the decision.

Follow prices for a selected group of product listings and organize the latest observations with their time and region. Check that each listing and comparison is correct, account for temporary differences, and have a person approve any pricing decision, customer communication, or change to a business offer.
