A representative view
of the IAM market
The goal is a representative sample of aftermarket offers for BMW parts in a chosen country. The crawler discovers relevant shops and uses AI to extract comparable offers, prices and sources.
| Aspect | Traditional crawler | AIAM crawler |
|---|---|---|
| Page reading | Extraction rules for each shop’s layout. | AI reads different layouts and product descriptions without a template for each shop. |
| Offer validation | Matches depend on predefined rules. | Checks fit, quantity, variant and condition. Uncertain or unsuitable offers are excluded with a reason. |
| Market coverage | A fixed shop list and crawl depth. | Finds relevant shops, searches like a customer and stops at coverage targets. |
| Maintenance | Update shop lists and repair changed parsers. | Refreshes shop discovery and adapts to new layouts without shop-specific parsers. |
How it works
- Discover relevant shops
- Search BMW part numbers
- Read and verify offers
- Export prices and sources
Shop access and geography can limit the sample. Representativeness is the goal, rather than exhaustive coverage.
