Inspiration

Amazon has a Chrome Extension that scans competitor's site and tells a user in real time when they have a better deal. Why shouldn't we?

I want to buy a Sofa, so I start at Amazon, and I browse and explore and I find Wayfair has the best deal.

What it does

Says, howdy, did you know, Wayfair has a better deal on this. It analyzes the PDP of a competitor and shows our exact or similar match. 6 million downloads of "Amazon Assist" imply there is an impact. We found out about this because an employee used it. We should do the same.

How I built it

JavaScript, HTML and soul.

Challenges I ran into

Cross site checks and permissions.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The team work, was amazing. Everyone stepped up and volunteered to help fill gaps.

What I learned

We can do it.

What's next for WayBetter (tm)

Make it fully real and connect with Competitive Intel

Desktop notification integration (so that users can get convenient order updates, price drops etc), and expanding the banner to include related products, and more A/B tests to keep all our BI experts engaged.
