Competitor Overview for Costa Teams
A lightweight tool that gives Costa's sales teams and staff a quick, clear view of what competitors are focusing on, where their prices stand, and how trends are shifting. Updated automatically. No manual research needed.
The Problem
One tool that automatically watches competitor websites and gives your team a short, clear summary: what's happening, what's changed, where prices stand. Every day, without anyone lifting a finger.
What the tool delivers
Focused on web intelligence — clear, compact, actionable.
Competitor websites are scanned automatically. New offers, price changes, and focus shifts are captured as they happen.
"MSC is pushing Canary Islands, starting at €600, family focus." — That's the level of clarity your team gets. Short, useful, immediate.
See at a glance where each competitor's prices stand per destination. Spot undercuts and opportunities before customers do.
"Focus shifted from Mediterranean to Canary Islands over the last 4 months." — The system recognizes patterns and highlights them automatically.
These capabilities can be added later — the architecture supports them from day one.
Monitor competitor Instagram, Facebook campaigns. See what content they're pushing and what resonates with audiences.
Track competitor search advertising, keyword strategies, and geo-targeted campaigns for deeper market intelligence.

How It Works
Competitor websites are automatically monitored. New content, price changes, and offer updates are captured daily.
The system extracts the essentials: focus destinations, starting prices, key offers, target segments — and spots trends over time.
A clean overview shows what each competitor is doing right now. Alerts flag significant changes the moment they happen.
The system is designed as a modular architecture. Web monitoring is the starting point — but the same pipeline can ingest social media feeds, newsletter content, OTA pricing, and review data. When Costa is ready to expand, it's a matter of connecting a new data source — not rebuilding the system. This means the initial investment keeps its full value as the tool grows.
