Steps of providing
data scraping services

Step 1 of 5

Free consultation

It's a good time to get info about each other, share values and discuss your project in detail. We will advise you on a solution and try to help to understand if we are a perfect match for you.

Step 2 of 5

Discovering and feasibility analysis

One of our core values is flexibility, hence we work with either one page high level requirements or with a full pack of tech docs. At this stage, we need to ensure that we understand the full scope of the project. Receive from you or perform a set of interviews and prepare the following documents: list of features with detailed description and acceptance criteria; list of fields that need to be scraped, solution architecture. Ultimately we make a project plan which we strictly follow. We are a result-oriented company, and that is one of our core values as well.

Step 3 of 5

Solution development

At this stage, we develop the scraping engine core logic. We run multiple tests to ensure that the solution is working properly. We map the fields and run the scraping. While scraping, we keep the full raw data so the final model can be enlarged easily. Ultimately we store data in any database and run quality assurance tests.

Step 4 of 5

Data delivery

After quality assurance tests are completed, we deliver data and solutions to the client. Though we have over 15 years of expertise in data engineering, we expect client’s participation in the project. While developing and crawling data, we provide midterm results so you can always see where we are and provide us with feedback. By the way, a high-level of communication is also our core value.

Step 5 of 5

Support and continuous improvement

We understand how crucial the solutions that we code for our clients are! Our goal is to build long-term relations, so we provide guarantees and support agreements. What is more, we are always happy to assist with further developments and statistics show that for us, 97% of our clients return to us with new projects.

Step 2 of 5

Discovering And Feasibility Analysis

One of our core values is flexibility. Hence, we work with either one-page high-level requirements or a whole pack of tech docs. In AI demand forecasting case studies, there are numerous models and approaches, so at this stage, we perform a set of interviews to define project objectives. We elaborate and discuss a set of hypotheses and assumptions. We create a solution architecture, a project plan, and a list of insights or features to achieve.

Step 3 of 5

Solution Development

The work starts with data gathering, data cleaning, and analysis. Feature engineering helps to determine your target variable and build several models for the initial review. Further modeling requires validating results and selecting models for further development. Ultimately, we interpret the results. Nevertheless, demand forecasting solution modeling is a process requiring many back-and-forth iterations. We are result-focused, as it's also one of our core values.

Step 4 of 5

Solution Delivery

AI demand forecasting solutions can be a list of insights or models that consume data and return results. Though we have over 15 years of expertise in data engineering, we expect the client's participation in the project. While modeling, we provide midterm results so you can always see where we are and provide us with feedback. By the way, a high level of communication is also our core value.

We understand how crucial the solutions that we code for our clients are! We aim to build long-term relations, providing guarantees and supporting agreements. Moreover, we are always happy to assist with further developments, and statistics show that 97% of our clients return to us with new projects.
