This project is for the creation of a new web based service to allow the quick and easy retrieval of historical FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) product pricing and promotional data sourced from scrapping the websites of large retailers (e.g. Walmart, Tesco). The data will be used by FMCG professionals in the industry to develop product strategies and analyse competitor activity. Top line concept Google Search for FMCG products, prices and promotions Services I require I need an experienced software developer who has worked on projects involving the following applications (in priority order) 1. Search – creating a simple front end search engine to retrieve data from very large csv or similar databases 2. User Interface – create a very simple and elegant UI – Google is the perfect example 3. Data scrapping from websites – creating software to pull certain data from websites e.g. retrieving product price information from amazon.com. I am happy to work with a team of developer who have the above experience. Overview The retrieval of historical FMCG product pricing and promotions helps industry professionals make decisions about future product and pricing decisions. Some examples of the use of this type of data: • Coca Cola reviewing competitor promotions by Pepsico to help Coke make future decisions about running different promotions in the future. • Tesco reviewing price information about products stocked by Asda/Walmart and then changing Tesco's product pricing to match or become more competitive versus Asda/Walmart. Please see the attached for full details - please read before responding to this bid!!!

England? why not say UK its London mate By the way I live in Swindon, and I have been doing search and search optimization for quite some time. I will be very happy to discuss this project in person as I may be able to collaborate on this. That said what you are looking is a product search engine. have you looked at other data sources for getting product price historic data as scrapping may not be easy because often these retailer websites have restricted robot file where not everybody can crawl their website and deep mine. I am interested in doing back end work of this product like search, scrapping and optimization( this is critical). Fronted work I can get done by my friend who has good php and js skills. My background I am experienced enterprise software consultant and working at oxford based company. I am trying to move away from my full time job to start my own hence this bid. Depending on your data volume and scale I can plan and suggest what platform we should be using. By the first impression Elastic search(do google please) is best suited for this kind of requirement and we'll need to use lot of tools like Apache Tika, nutch etc to parse the data in desired index document format. Also if we are expecting terabyte size data then we may need to think Hadoop based storage but that will jack up the cost. For front end php and new age js framework should be suffice. And it will cover facet display of search results, graph etc But let me tell you this project ma
