Bulk pricing and promotional discounts often rely on client side hydration. We use Playwright to execute JavaScript and capture the exact DOM state.

Hardware retailers track Toolstation pricing to adjust their own margins and run price match guarantees.
Contractors monitor branch stock levels for critical materials to optimise procurement and logistics.
