Net Age Launches the New and Improved RetailX
Net Age has launched a new and improved RetailX, the daily retail intelligence platform for South African retailers, with faster data, AI product matching and smarter alerts.
On 10 August, Net Age launched the new and improved RetailX, our daily retail intelligence platform built for South African retailers. The rebuild focuses on the thing our clients ask for most: reliable, automated competitor price tracking that runs in the background and tells them exactly what changed.
What RetailX does
RetailX is a cloud-based platform that checks competitor prices every day and reports back on where your products stand. It monitors prices, stock levels and promotions for the products you choose, then sends alerts and daily summaries straight to your inbox. It is priced in Rands from 15.4 cents per product per day, every feature is included for every client, and there is no contract.
What is new in this release
- Faster daily collection. Our scrapers run every day, so pricing data is fresh enough to act on before the market shifts, not after.
- AI product matching. Competitor product URLs are found and matched automatically, which removes the manual searching that used to slow onboarding down.
- Stock-aware alerts. See when a competitor goes out of stock, or when stock is piling up, and adjust your pricing and promotions accordingly.
- Promotion and below-cost detection. Be first to know when a competitor drops a price, launches a promotion or dumps clearance stock below cost.
- Clearer KPIs. A cleaner dashboard shows your pricing, stock and margin position at a glance, with the detail one click away.
- Daily email reporting. The data comes to you. Log in only when you want to dig deeper.
Why we rebuilt it
Retail pricing used to be a Monday-morning spreadsheet job. Someone would open a handful of competitor sites, copy prices into a sheet and hope nothing important moved during the week. That approach quietly costs margin on the exact lines that matter most, your best sellers and highest-margin products.
The new RetailX turns that job into a background service. You choose the competitors and the SKUs that drive your revenue, and RetailX does the watching. Right-priced products convert faster, best sellers stop being quietly undercut, and your team spends its time on decisions instead of data collection.
Built and supported locally
RetailX is one of the tools we build and run ourselves, alongside the rest of our Net Age product range. It is tuned for local e-commerce and brick-and-mortar chains, billed in Rands, and supported by a team that understands the South African retail landscape. The full commercial terms are on our RetailX terms page.
