The Challenges

Brand managers often grapple with several persistent challenges in the Q-Commerce space:
1. Real-Time Invisibility: Traditional data sources don’t offer up-to-the-minute insights into brand placement or availability.
2. Fragmented Ecosystem: Each country and platform has different structures, product taxonomies, and user experiences.
3. Manual Tracking Limitations: Manual tracking of digital shelf presence is not scalable and lacks consistency.
4. Inadequate Visibility Metrics: No unified scoring mechanism to evaluate how well a brand is performing across regions and competitors.
5. Reactive Decision-Making: Without proactive alerts, managers miss out on addressing out-of-stock issues or poor campaign performance.
These challenges hinder a brand’s ability to respond quickly to stock outages, competitor discounts, or missed promotional opportunities.
Food Data Scrape’s Strategic Solution

Step 1: Multi-Platform Integration
Food Data Scrape began by identifying key Q-Commerce platforms in five core markets:
- India: Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart
- UAE: Talabat Mart, Carrefour Now
- Germany: Flink, Gorillas
- UK: Getir, Gopuff
- Singapore: RedMart, FairPrice
Each of these platforms had distinct architecture, delivery models, product categorizations, and user engagement patterns.
Step 2: AI-Based Scraping Engine
A custom AI engine was built using advanced NLP (Natural Language Processing) and Computer Vision models. Key data points captured included:
- Brand name and product variant
- Price, MRP, and real-time discount
- Banner placements and featured listings
- Page-wise product rankings
- Availability (In-stock/Out-of-stock)
- Product image detection and categorization
The AI engine was trained to recognize brand name inconsistencies (e.g., Pepsi vs. Pepsico), identify cross-listings, and flag private labels mimicking national brands.
Step 3: Data Cleaning, Enrichment & Normalization
The data was standardized across all platforms and countries:
- Converted all currencies to USD for comparison
- Harmonized product sizes and SKUs (e.g., “1L” = “1000ml”)
- Translated foreign language product names and descriptions
- Grouped duplicate entries and misspellings under a master SKU code
- Identified brand vs. private label vs. marketplace-exclusive SKUs
Step 4: Brand Visibility Scoring Framework
Food Data Scrape created a proprietary Brand Visibility Index (BVI) using multiple weighted factors:
- Shelf Rank Score: Based on which page the product appeared
- Banner Presence Score: Featured placement in app banners or carousels
- Availability Score: % uptime or stock availability
- Discount Visibility: Promotion frequency and % compared to competitors
- Coverage Score: Number of cities or pin codes listed in
This enabled the brand to rank performance not just by sales, but by presence and prominence.
Step 5: Interactive Dashboards & Alerts
- Real-time dashboards built using Power BI and Tableau
- Filters by country, category, SKU, and date range
- Drill-down capability to city and pin code level
- Email/SMS alerts for sudden stockouts, lost banner placements, or unusual discount spikes
- Historical trend graphs showing visibility changes over time
Sample Data Snapshot

Business Impact
1. Unified Global Visibility
The client could now monitor visibility by region, brand, and SKU in a single dashboard. This enabled better global strategy alignment and country-level performance reviews.
2. Improved Campaign Execution
By tracking banner placements and in-app promotions, the marketing team could measure ROI of digital campaigns and take corrective action in real-time.
3. Enhanced Inventory Optimization
Alerts for out-of-stock SKUs allowed supply chain teams to quickly restock high-performing regions, preventing revenue loss.
4. Competitive Benchmarking
Using the same framework, competitor brands were also tracked and scored. This provided a relative measure of performance across each category and platform.
5. SKU Rationalization
With visibility into poorly ranked or zero-visibility SKUs, the client rationalized their product portfolio and focused only on high-visibility listings.
Real Use Case: Amul on Blinkit India

Amul’s presence across Blinkit’s cities was fragmented. The dashboard showed: - 12% SKUs were out of stock - Banner promotions were absent in Tier-2 cities - Two variants had zero visibility despite being top sellers in retail
Action Taken: - Redistributed inventory to underperforming cities - Launched banner campaigns for underrepresented SKUs - Optimized pricing to compete with local private labels
Result: - Brand Visibility Index (BVI) jumped from 76.5 to 87.3 in one month - Sales improved by 12% QoQ in key markets
