PriceNark IV is the back end of ShopSavvy. It uses proprietary product search algorithms to deliver industry leading shopping results. The platform supports 33+ million product API calls per month and is housed in our data center in Dallas and in the cloud at Amazon. PriceNark makes those 33M calls to more than 40,000 retailers for more than 10,000,000 products. The technology was developed using .NET and leverages MySQL and Hadoop MapReduce to handle the more than 100+ million product attributes including price and inventory.

Using a proprietary ‘product karma’ system to deliver high quality results our system (according to one investment banking study) delivered 74 online and local results on average versus our largest competitor at 42. PriceNark V due in Q2 will expand product search sources for up to 10X better retailer coverage, product coverage, attributes and offers.
