Price transparency: The price comparison engine

Why waste time looking at price comparisons yourself? If you had never wondered this before, you should be asking yourself this now. The company WorkIT is finalising their Widget which can be integrated into your Firefox or Internet Explorer web browser which will compare prices for you so that you can find the best price available. This is a revolution compared to looking for the best price yourself, making it something we are certainly getting excited about.

More then 120 sites referenced at the moment
Price Transparency for the time being references about 120 online sales sites, representing a large part of the French market, but not yet its entirety. The company WorkIT is adding the rest over time, with new sites always making their appearance. This gives the impression that the price comparator looks at a market that is as exhaustive as possible.

All the big online shopping sites are here!

The second search method requires you going directly to the affiliate online shopping sites or Price Transparency. From those that we tested, the function worked wonders (Amazon.fr, Pixmania.fr, Fnac.com, Cdiscount.com, Ubaldi.com, Rueducommerce.com, Surcouf.com, MisterGoodDeal.fr, Topachat.com, GrosBill.com, Multe-pass.com, WebDistrib.com, Materiel.net, LaRedoute.fr, 3suisses.fr, Clust.com, Darty.fr…). We hope to soon also see others like Decathlon.com, Wanarun.net and other large brands.

I already know what I am looking for

If you already know exactly what product you want to buy, as well as its reference, then the process will be made even easier. You simply need to go to any online shopping site and search for your future purchase. With Pixmania, as soon as we got to the search part, the widget recognised not just the object being searched for, but also provided a ranking of best price/site rapport. Our product, the Sanyo PLV-Z700 was ranked 6th out of 20. This means that Pixmania offered the sixth best (delivery included) for this product.

I directly see the best price and retailer

By looking through the product you want with the mouse, the pop-up will indicate the best price in order. Here, the winner was Toutpourlamicro.com which means you now just need to click on the green "Voir" button to verify the information. The advertising corresponds exactly to the offer that we previously found!
