We need an application to help us monitor competitors pricing. We sell IT/Computer goods online and prices can change daily. We want to develop a searchbot / spider to crawl over cost comparison sites such as [login to view URL] and pricerunner.com. There is nothing illegal in this - the information is provided for general use by the cost comparison companies. The application will run on a scheduled base and search for those products that are listed in our product catalogue.. Competitors pricing will then be imported into our own SQL database. Application must run on Windows, ideally be written in .net
