Spreadsheet Automation Architecture
Real-time Data Harvesting
Custom web scrapers extract SKU-specific pricing from 28 country domains nightly, with currency conversion at interbank rates.
Predictive Algorithms
Machine learning models analyze historical price movements to forecast:
- Seasonal discount probability
- Pre-increase purchasing windows
Cost Optimization Matrix
The system auto-calculates total landed cost across:
- Local VAT refund eligibility
- Lowest-volume shipping routes
- Tariff thresholds by destination
Example: Shipping 3 Speedy 30 bags from Paris to Shanghai via DDP incurs 18% lower duties than Seoul-sourced items.
