Web Extraction to Lead the Competition
Data Extraction Defined a Competitive Edge for the UK-based Broadband Company
“Preparing for the future avoids delays and keeps up the promises.”
A UK-based broadband company wanted to scale in 1200+ post codes all across the UK metro cities. Lacking competitors data did not enable it to analyse competition. There was one solution, which drove through web data scraping. So, it contacted us to help with the competitors' packages information. Our data scientist battled this struggle out and the broadband company got the requisite details. However, many technical errors were there, delaying the delivery. But, we foresaw challenges and got ready with smart moves.
Challenges
The project assessment left us with the feeling that the challenges are likely to be more. We've understood that the success would depend on the agile network. And, the web scraping was going to take place live over the internet. We faced these risks:
- The target was really gigantic.
- Managing connectivity to servers.
- Scheduled delivery time was short.
- Managing international working hours.
- Verifying them needed round the clock effort.
Solution Provided
Discovering challenges made the rest of the journey easy. However, coming across them was not like a cakewalk. But, we made it by brainstorming and preparing a plan of action. The roles were clearly aligned together with the following solutions:
- Defined the process.
- Understood technicalities.
- Did sampling & got approvals.
- Smartly handled the backlogs.
- Prevented delays by focusing on buffers.
Process Used
The data science being involved, it was not easy to achieve success in this project. We smartly finalised some techniques to make it easier. For sure, manual scraping was not in our mind. So, we picked these technologies to make it like a walkover:
- Extraction of relevant URL’s and mapping
- Distribution of links of the team
- Data extraction and mapping
- Quality Assessment
- Taking client's feedback
Result
All ends well. The data was fine. The project met its timeline. And, the customer was delighted with the performance of our data scientists, data analysts, process managers, etc. We nailed it from sampling to customer experience. His feedback was a proof:
- "I checked a sample of addresses this morning and everything is ok"
- "Brilliant work team!"
- "Thank you for your cooperation and hope we’ll have a chance to work together again!"
Benefits Client Get
The entire scraping work reached its end within 3 months. We used advanced technologies like Python and integrated libraries like Selenium, Pandas, Beautiful Soup, Ms-Excel, Webdriver that can help in meeting the goal quickly and seamlessly.
- We achieved a quick turnaround.
- Advanced technologies made it fast.
- The customer was extremely happy.
- Data enabled competition analysis.
