Observe

Right now, a rival is selling your stock for less.

Observe reads every competitor's whole catalogue every minute, matches it to yours down to the reticle and calibre, and shows you where you're undercut. With your suppliers' costs beside it, you only match the prices that still pay.

For Australian hunting, shooting and outdoor stores. No card needed to start.

The checking you'd never have time for.

Every product you sell, against every rival you pick, every minute of the day. Then Observe tells you what it means: where you're losing sales, where you're leaving money on the table, and what to do about it.

Matched to the exact model.

Observe pairs a rival's listing with yours by manufacturer part number, by your suppliers' codes, or by wording, weighing model numbers and spotting ex-demo stock and bundles that would throw a comparison.

Where a listing sells several reticles, calibres or sizes, each is matched on its own. Your MRAD scope is compared with their MRAD scope, not their cheapest option. Confirm a match, reject it or link one by hand, and your decision sticks.

You're $50 dearer on your reticle, not the $200 their cheapest option would suggest.

Every price, on the record.

Every listing keeps its price history from the day Observe first reads it, option by option. See who moved first, who followed, and how long a rival's sale really ran.

Every view exports to CSV, for the spreadsheet you already keep.

Add your suppliers, and it knows your margins.

Connect the distributors you buy from with your dealer logins. Every night Observe reads their catalogues for what each product costs you and how much they have in stock, and puts it beside every price.

Match a price only when it pays.

Your cost is worked out ex GST, for the unit you actually sell, even when a supplier prices ammunition per round. Beside each undercut you see your margin now, your margin if you match, and the price you can't go below.

Drag the price and see what's left.

    Connect your suppliers on Pro

    Enter your dealer logins. Observe reads each portal overnight for your costs and their stock.

    Your distributor

    Login sealed. Next read at 11:40 pm.

Careful with your accounts, and everyone else's.

  • It reads only what shoppers see.

    Observe opens your rivals' public product pages, one request at a time and about a second apart, and never where a store's robots.txt asks it not to. It never tries to get past a store's bot protection.

  • Your dealer logins stay sealed.

    They're encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment you save them, bound to your workspace and that supplier, and opened only to read that supplier's portal. Nobody can view them again, your own team included.

  • Your supplier accounts stay in good standing.

    Each run makes one sign-in attempt. A rejected login is put on hold until you fix it, so a portal never locks you out. Scheduled runs start between 10 pm and 6 am, when nobody's using the portal, and runs never overlap.

  • What's yours stays yours.

    Your matches, costs, suppliers and decisions are seen by your workspace and nobody else, other shops on Observe included. It all runs on servers in Sydney.

  • Bring the whole team.

    Invite staff to see everything and decide on matches. Admins also look after stores, suppliers and billing.

  • On the shop floor, too.

    Every view works on your phone, so you can check a rival's price while the customer's still at the counter.

One sale you keep pays for it.

Keep a single thermal scope sale from going to a rival and Observe has paid for itself, usually for months. Try it free for 14 days, no card needed.

Prices are in Australian dollars, with no GST added. The trial needs no card: checkout asks only for your billing address, and your ABN if you'd like it on your invoices. Add a card from Settings before the trial ends to keep going; without one, the trial simply ends and you pay nothing. Change plans or cancel any time. Subscribing means agreeing to our terms of service.

Questions shops ask.

Anything else? Write to contact@getobserve.com.au.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Observe reads your store's public catalogue the same way it reads your rivals', so there's no plugin, product feed or export to set up. Sign up, enter your store's address and pick your rivals.

Which stores can it watch?

Any Shopify or WooCommerce store, added by its address. Many of the hunting and outdoor stores Australian shops compare themselves with, on Neto, Magento and platforms of their own, are already read. For a store on another platform, get in touch and it will be added.

How does it read my competitors' stores?

It opens the same public product pages any shopper can, one request at a time and about a second apart, and never where a store's robots.txt asks it not to. It never signs in to a rival's site and never tries to get past a store's bot protection.

Will it slow my own website down?

No. Each store is read once a minute, a page at a time and about a second apart. Most stores answer a page that hasn't changed with next to nothing, so a quiet catalogue costs almost nothing to read.

How accurate is the matching?

A match on a shared part number is all but certain. A match on wording is scored, and only strong ones are kept; anything under about 75% is worth a glance before you act on it. Confirm or reject a match in one click, or link a listing by hand, and your decision holds through every rematch.

Which suppliers can I connect?

Observe reads the dealer portals of 30 Australian distributors of hunting, shooting and outdoor gear, for your costs, their stock and the units they sell in. Ask us whether yours is one of them.

Is it safe to give Observe my dealer logins?

Your logins are encrypted the moment you save them and used only to read that supplier's portal, overnight. Each run makes one sign-in attempt, and a rejected login is put on hold rather than tried again, so your account is never locked out.

Can my staff use it?

Yes. Invite as many people as you like. Members see everything and can confirm matches; admins also look after stores, suppliers, the team and billing.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your first 14 days are free, and starting them needs no card. Add one from Settings before they're up and you're billed monthly or yearly from then on; without one, Observe stops and nothing is charged. You can change plans or cancel any time.
