Pain Points (Public)

Businesses need structured product catalog data (manufacturer, model number, country of origin) harvested from corporate websites and delivered in spreadsheet format (Google Sheets or Excel) for downstream procurement or competitive analysis workflows, but lack the technical means to automate the extraction reliably across paginated or JavaScript-rendered product pages.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Build a targeted scraper using Playwright or Scrapy with rotating proxies to handle JavaScript-rendered product pages, extract structured fields (manufacturer, model number, origin), clean and deduplicate the records, and output directly to Google Sheets via the Sheets API or as a formatted Excel file with consistent column schemas.
