Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the SaleSeekr data engine and platform features.
Where does SaleSeekr get its data?
SaleSeekr utilizes automated pipelines to ingest publicly available pricing feeds and digital promotional flyers directly from supported retailers. We never rely on crowdsourced or user-submitted entries.
How often is pricing data refreshed?
Data synchronization scripts run continuously. As soon as a retailer updates their promotional catalog or changes active circular pricing, our pipeline extracts and indexes the new data structural updates.
Can I completely rely on the prices shown?
We aim for optimal precision across all indexes, but regional variances or localized inventory drops can occur. The retailer's official website or physical checkout terminal remains the final legal authority on transactional pricing.
Why do identical products look different across retailers?
Every grocery chain uses unique naming conventions, shorthand text, and varying unit measurements. SaleSeekr addresses this by passing raw parameters through an normalization engine, structuring everything into a unified category tree for fair comparison.
Do retailers pay to appear or rank higher on SaleSeekr?
No. SaleSeekr maintains full engineering independence. No retail chain can purchase priority visibility, sponsored placements, or altered ranking criteria. All sorting is calculated strictly by mathematical discount ratios.
Is a registered user account required?
Not at all. You can completely browse and filter active deals without an account. Authenticated users simply unlock advanced features like specialized price-drop tracking, custom watchlists, and localized store preferences.
Which geographic regions are currently supported?
Our core indexing covers Switzerland along with key target borders and neighbouring retail zones. We are incrementally scaling out processing pipelines to capture wider European cross-border markets.
