Data Accuracy
Even though many product research software differs from one another in terms of its utilities and functionality, data accuracy is often the deciding factor for sellers picking their ideal product research software on the market. Because it’s the core value of all the product research software, it will directly influence the decisions when finding potential products or taking the corresponding sales strategic plans.
JungleScout
Jungle Scout model mainly relies on the inventory numbers. When the inventory is over 999, out of stock, limited, or when restocking is happening or when the stock fluctuates in a wide range, that will cause inaccurate estimation of sales and revenue.
BigTracker
(1) BigTracker tracks 5 listings of each product, sums them up and analyzes the reason of buy box rotation every 15-20 minutes. (5 times more engineering resources than any other product research software)
(2) BigTracker gathers sales data each day to build sales models, and the sales models change every 15 days. That ‘s the key when the inventory fluctuates seriously and we could still keep the data accuracy.
(3) The result comes into nonlinear regression, which is called NURBS in engineering mathematics and BigTracker uses our state of art algorithm to analyze it.
So, the more days you track, the more accurate data you get.
Furthermore, based on our internal testing, Jungle Scout couldn’t estimate precisely if the number of orders is over 6,000 per month. On the contrary, BigTracker can estimate precisely even if the orders number is over 10,000 per month.
Please take a look at the screenshot below. The same products in the cell phone and accessories category. This category is one of the most competitive categories on Amazon.
Frankly, it is impossible that the estimate sales of this high ranking product are below 6000 per month in such competitive category.
