Case Study -

I'm opening an e-commerce site and I want to extract product information from my supplier's site and save the data into my own database so that my clients can see the product info on my site.

Want to extract data from dynamic web pages on your targeted websites and save the content into databases or text files.

Collect web data from an online bookstore for a list of more than 40,000 books with all the ISBNs saved in a text file.

Tired of copying the contents from thousands of web pages and pasting them to your own file one by one.

Wasting too much time and money to manually collect information from the Internet

Here is a Solution -

We extract data for you!

What we do - We customize our software for each project, which extracts content from web pages from your targeted websites and convert the data to your required format into the database, text file or a spreadsheet.

What you get - Fast, accurate result of the information you want.

How it works - We designe the software for data extraction from both static and dynamic web pages, also it will be customized for your target websites so that it can extract the right content you're looking for.

Fast - Software is able to extract the required web data very quickly. For a job costing 30 human days, it can finish in only 2-4 hours. You can save your valuable time to meet your project due date and get an obvious time-to-market advantage over your competitors.

Lets explain this with example -

To get a complete company list from a targeted business directory website. The software should go to the main search page of the targeted website and automatically search for companies. After the search result is generated, it should extract content from the result web pages, separate different fields of the content (i.e., company name, address, phone number, email and website address), save the information into the database, and go to the next company until all companies are searched. The program should generate a database with the information of all companies searchable on this website.

It costs two days to extract the desired data and the final database contained the complete company list with more than 51,900 records. Indeed, the data extraction process lasted for only about 3 hours. Think of this: if a computer operator can copy content from web pages at a speed of 100 pages/hour and he works 40 hours/week, this project will cost him 13 weeks to finish!

Low cost - Compared with hiring people to manually copy the content from your targeted websites and paste the information to your own database, using our software will save you a significant amount of expense on human resources. The reason is very simple: now the job is done by computers instead of human beings.

Accurate results - How large the rate of man-made mistakes you can tolerate on the data you collect from the Internet? 1%? Or 0.1%? Actually, it should be absolutely ZERO! We can help you get the most accurate results that cannot be collected by human beings.
