Finding Out Before Your Customer Does
Stock, prices, uptime, reviews, competitors. How automatic monitoring tells you the moment something changes.
“We find out something broke when a customer tells us.”
What it actually is
Something that matters gets watched constantly. Stock levels, competitor prices, whether your site is up, new reviews, orders stuck in transit.
When it changes in a way you care about, you are told immediately, through whatever you actually check.
How it works
You choose what matters
The thing that costs you money when it goes wrong unnoticed.
It watches continuously
Every few minutes, all day, without getting bored.
You hear about it fast
Text, email or chat. Only when it crosses the line you set.
