To develop a robust, centralized database that collects, stores, and visualizes real-time pricing data from various online third-party vendors across southern Africa. This data will support a price scouting application by providing users with current prices and product availability at specific store locations.
# GigEfx Pricing Intelligence

## The Problem
Price scouting across African electronics markets is manual, slow, and inconsistent. Vendors in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Egypt each have different pricing, availability, and update cadences. GigEfx centralizes this into a single intelligence layer.
