Executive Summary

Marketplace sellers and retail pricing teams on Amazon and MercadoLibre today face continuous, high‑volume changes in competitor prices and product reviews that erode margins and complicate buy‑box strategies. This problem affects millions of accounts—an estimated 8 million e‑commerce sellers and retail teams globally—and supports a $4.8 billion addressable market for price‑intelligence and alert subscriptions. A viable product would be an automated monitoring and alert platform providing sub‑minute price and review change notifications, customizable thresholds, localized parsing for Amazon and MercadoLibre, multi‑market dashboards, and integrations into Telegram, Slack, repricers and ERP systems. Priced around a $600 ACV per account, it targets both high‑volume sellers and retail teams and benefits from two accelerating trends: marketplace concentration and the rapid adoption of real‑time messaging channels that shorten decision cycles. This market looks attractive now—market score 92/100 and revenue potential 78/100—because sellers are expanding cross‑border (notably into LATAM) and require multi‑market signals, while instant channels lower friction to act on alerts. To differentiate, focus on speed and accuracy (sub‑minute alerts, deduped signals), deep regional expertise for MercadoLibre, tight integrations to automate repricing, and clear ROI analytics tied to margin recovery. Be upfront about challenges: competition is medium, there are technical and legal risks around scraping and platform TOS, scaling real‑time monitoring is costly, and closing enterprise customers has a nontrivial sales cycle; if you can mitigate those risks and prove measurable ROI, the opportunity is worth pursuing.
