Data Science can help you achieve your business goals with tailored advice specific to your organization. Learn more about how Keiter Data Solutions solved a similar problem for one of our clients in the below case study.

 

Challenge and Opportunity

A technology company that sold aggregated data was seeking a way to collect data at scale in order to lower overhead costs. Instead of manual scraping, they needed an automated system to do it.

 

Approach

  • The client was spending approximately $10,000-$20,000 a month on data for its platform.
  • Using AWS Lambda and Python, our team was able to build the client a customized tool that could scrape data from the internet at scale.
  • The tool was more efficient and could collect more data in real-time while integrating it into the client’s API.

Results

The tool works effectively and saves the client hundreds of thousands of dollars in data collection fees.
