Scalable and Instant Data Extraction and Automation Services

Project Overview

In today's digital era, our first instinct is to turn to the web to look up movies and shows. It offers endless information - from ratings and cast details to reviews and more. With this valuable data, writers can easily brainstorm new creative ideas and write content for stories that could become the next blockbuster.

Recently, a prominent author and film enthusiast approached us with a specific goal: building a comprehensive database of films featuring disability themes.

Our team developed an AI-powered data extraction solution that systematically collected and organized data from different authoritative sources, including Wikipedia, IMDB, and Google search results.

About the Client

As a writer in film and media research, our client wanted to study how disability is portrayed in movies. They needed to gather detailed film data - from cast information and accessibility features to audience reviews across different platforms - to support their creative process.

However, the manual collection of data was taking time away from their core work of writing. The client sought our services to automate this time-consuming process, allowing them to conduct more thorough research and come up with excellent content.

The Challenges

The client wanted to build a comprehensive database of films by gathering information from multiple platforms like IMDB, Wikipedia, and other Google search results pages. However, manual data collection from these various websites presented several challenges:

• Film platforms like IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes structured their data differently, making it time-consuming to find and extract relevant details from each place.

• The large volume of global film releases, including those focusing on disability, required constant monitoring for comprehensive coverage.

• Platform-specific search limitations like CAPTCHAs prevented third-party sources from scrapping data from websites.

• Differences in what qualified as a "film for disabled people" varied (e.g., films about disabilities, featuring disabled actors, or with accessibility features), creating complexity in data categorization.

• The platforms and the accompanying descriptions didn't specifically indicate if films included disability representation, making it difficult to identify and verify relevant content.

Below, we combine challenges related to manual podcast recording and data extraction for automated podcast creation.  

Challenges in Podcast Recording and Production

From issues faced in podcast recording and production processes to collecting data of dental organizations, here are the challenges that lead to the development of dynamic podcasting solutions:

1. Balancing Information with Promotional Content :
   Dental consumers prioritize informative content over promotional material, which makes it crucial to craft value-driven and engaging narratives. In a Pew Research Center podcast listener survey, 74% of all podcast consumers also stated that the main purpose of listening is to learn new things, indicating a clear preference for content with teaching objectives.
2. Maintaining High Production Standards : 
   Issues like poor sound quality, background noise, and inconsistent audio levels can reduce listener engagement by a great percentage. Post-production editing is also a significant component of podcast production costs. It often requires substantial time and resources.
3. Expensive Setup and Resource Allocation :
   Professional podcasting equipment costs can vary widely. On the low end, you can use a simple USB microphone that costs $50. From there, you can spend up to $2,000–$3,000 on studio-grade microphones and audio mixers. These expenses make manual podcast production unsustainable for businesses aiming to scale operations.
4. Time-Intensive Manual Processes : 
   Creating and editing podcasts manually can take 20–40 hours per episode. It leads to massive and annoying delays in campaign launches and limits scalability.
5. Data Collection Complexity : 
   Approximately 98.9% of all websites use JavaScript as a client-side programming language, which can complicate data extraction through conventional methods. Besides, most of the time, the data we need are enclosed in PDF or HTML format with inconsistent structures, which makes organizing the data for podcast production difficult.
6. Non-Standardized Terminology : 
   The use of different terms by different websites complicates the formation of a standardized database. Such variability does not present a well-defined standard for structured information extraction and, therefore, results in errors. To achieve effective message sending and receiving, ensuring data duplication is avoided and maintaining the completeness of the received data becomes vital.
   
   Podcast data duplications or missing values distort the accuracy and quality of mouth podcasts, which in turn requires extra data cleaning & validation episodes.
7. Time-Intensive Data Scraping : 
   Collecting data through multiple dental clinics can be tedious and cumbersome. This leads to prolonged delays in campaign launches and implies many operational complexities. Solving these issues implies establishing a plan of work that can help choose the best technologies for effective data gathering, decrease production costs, and improve the quality of the content.
   ‍
   These challenges are common, and they also hindered our client’s efforts and impacted their podcast recording and production processes.‍

Conclusion

With the help of automated podcast creation, businesses can ensure continued, consistent and constant steady revenue growth with the quality and degree of personalization that these advertisements will need to keep dental readers interested.

Project Overview‍

Over 75% of Americans face challenges in effectively managing their personal finances.  

Now more than ever, Americans want to gain greater and more detailed insights into their spending habits.

This case study explores how we helped mastercard  track and monitor daily credit card expenses, providing them with more visibility and control over their financial habits.

Objectives and Goals

Here are the key objectives and goals mastercard  wished to achieve with an advanced budget control solution:

• Our client wanted a clear picture of daily and monthly spending.  

• It was essential for them to understand their financial habits better and identify areas where they could save more.

• They wanted to reduce the time they spent manually tracking expenses. It would also free up more time to focus on their financial goals.  

Challenges and Pain Points

The client faced several challenges that highlighted the need for a more efficient budgeting tool. Some of these were:

• Inconsistent Expense Tracking: Manually tracking credit card expenses often led to missed entries and incomplete and incorrect financial records.  

• Complexity in Financial Reporting: The client couldn’t clearly understand their spending habits and how they aligned with their monthly budget.  

• Time-intensive Manual Processes: Our client’s ability to maintain an accurate budget was significantly impacted by manual recording.

Conclusion and Future Plans

Implementing an advanced and automated budget control and expense tracking system proved quite beneficial for the client. It helped them gain control over their finances and make proactive financial decisions. With the reduction in manual tracking tasks, they could focus on more important aspects of financial planning.  

Though we implemented this tool for an individual client, we can also tailor it for different organizational needs.  

Solutions Provided

To address these issues, we provided the following solutions:

• Automated Expense Tracking
  The client provided us secure access to their credit card expense data, giving us accurate insights into their financial habits and enabling the setup of an automated expense tracker. This automation was essential, as the client, a business owner with frequent travel, had varied spending across locations using a single card for both personal and business transactions. With automation, each transaction was recorded instantly, eliminating the risk of missing data and ensuring the client had a complete, accurate, and continuously updated expense record.
  ‍
• AI-Driven, Daily Expense Categorization
  We asked ourselves: How could we simplify this for the client? To make financial reporting more accessible, we implemented an AI-powered system to categorize transactions by expense type. Categories like ‘Entertainment,’ ‘Groceries,’ ‘Utilities,’ and ‘Travel’ were automatically generated, allowing the client to see a clear spending breakdown. This categorization also provided a detailed financial profile, helping the client understand their spending patterns and quickly spot high-expenditure areas, ultimately supporting their goal of informed budgeting and greater visibility into their habits.
  ‍
• Automated, Insightful Report Generation and Analysis
  Our system went beyond categorization, generating insights by analyzing spending patterns and pinpointing high-expenditure areas. The client wanted to eliminate manual tracking, so we introduced an automated daily email report, offering a concise, clear overview of spending patterns. This routine report allowed the client to passively monitor transactions, while our automation continued to track spending trends and identify emerging patterns, supporting their long-term financial planning goals.
  ‍
• Multi-Frequency Report Alerts
  To keep the client consistently aware of their spending, we implemented personalized daily, weekly, and monthly reports with alert notifications. These prompts made it easy to track short-term spending and observe broader trends, enabling the client to adjust spending as needed and supporting their long-term financial planning goals.

Results and Outcomes

The client achieved the following outcomes:

• Through the daily report, they noticed an average daily spend of $50 in the first month. This was broken down into different categories, such as groceries ($20), entertainment ($5), dining out ($10), etc. The client also made some occasional larger expenses, like $100 on weekends.  

• Our advanced budgeting helped them realize that by the end of the month, they had spent $1500 on their credit card. Out of this amount, $400 was spent on dining and entertainment when they had originally planned to spend $300 on these categories.

• Eventually, the client could adjust their budget and cut back on discretionary expenses the following month. It helped them save an additional $150. They also gained a clear understanding of how to reach their goal of saving $500 monthly.

Project Overview

Businesses like comic books are very niche markets. They are required to have access to up-to-date and accurate data. This keeps them competitive in the market and approaches the challenge better. Our client is a comic book retailer. He approached us with the challenge of streamlining the data sourcing.

The challenge area also includes poor inventory management and meeting customer demand. We implemented a comprehensive data scraping solution that allowed them to collect and organize the comic book data in real-time automatically. The challenges in detail and the solution by Relu are mentioned further for better understanding.

Challenges faced by the client

The challenges faced by the client are scattered to different areas of their business operations. The impact area is inventory, meeting customer demand levels, and competition. To come up with the solution we needed a present process scenario.

Firstly, the team was manually gathering the data from multiple distribution websites. This was both time-intensive and error-driven.

Secondly, the new comic book issue and special editions were constantly released. This created a hurdle to keep the inventory updated and make informed stocking decisions.

Thirdly, they manually extracted data, which gave them outdated and incomplete information.

Lastly, the lack of automation in the process made the entire transformation process slow for them in the event of any changes in comic book availability, reprints, or limited-edition releases.

Our Solution to their problems

To solve the challenges we designed a custom data scraping system that looked into the client’s needs first. This solution involved creating a web scraping tool that can gather live comic book data from different sources.

The solution also caters to the release date, pricing, availability, and special edition information. Relu also configured the tool to handle high-frequency updates. This allowed the client to access in real-time at the time of new releases and stock changes.

We equipped the system with useful filters that will capture relevant information and eliminate unnecessary data. This streamlined the process of inventory management.

In the end, we implemented an easy-to-use interface that helped the client to extract data in one structured format. This made the data analysis simpler especially at the time of identifying the trends and adjusting the inventory.

Results and Impact

Relu data scraping solution has measurable results for the client's problem. With live updates and accurate data on book availability to customer response, we reduced the missed sales opportunities.

This enhanced customer satisfaction rate and the client could offer new and in-demand comic book titles to them.

Moreover, the client noticed a reduction in the time spent on manual data entry. This gave time to most of their resources who can now focus on other strategic aspects of the business like marketing and customer engagement.

The solution also helped the client to prepare a tool that could adapt to future changes in the comic market, proving efficient data extraction is a powerful asset to any business.

Why can this solution work for any business?

The data scraping approach extends beyond the comic book industry. Businesses with fast-changing and updated products frequently need inventory updates and accurate information.

This solution is the blueprint for using data scraping to solve inventory issues, and customer management issues as well. With the list of solutions, businesses of all types can stay competitive by leveraging the data in their decision-making process.

Project Overview

Extraction and analysis of multiple reports is time-consuming, especially for 19 locations. Cameron Ray, the COO and Co-founder of Sparkle Express Car Wash Company, faced this issue. Relu stepped in to provide a solution that streamlined the extraction and analysis of operational and financial data, reducing Cameron’s workload.  

Company Background

Sparkle Express Car Wash Company offers top-notch car wash services in 19 different locations across the USA via their three different websites. The company relied on a manual process of data collection, extraction, and analysis.  

Challenges Faced By The Client

Sparkle Express Car Wash's distribution to 19 locations increased the number of reports to manage and analyze. The manual approach of recording and analyzing the data challenged the team with the compilation of revenue, labor count, and conversion from different locations. This not only took a toll on time but also introduced potential errors. Moreover, the key members couldn’t get the data at the right time to process as the company doesn’t have a dashboard.

Our Solution To The Problems

Relu Consultancy developed a custom script solution that automated data extraction from the three different websites used by Sparkle Express Car Wash. The solution then catered to three areas:

Data extraction scripts- The customized scripts pulled raw data from all the websites.

Data processing function- We introduced the functions to process the extracted data by generating it as per the metrics Cameron suggested such as ledgers, each location performance, and weekly reports from Monday to Sunday.

Automated report- We introduced an email function as well to send automated reports to all key members on Sunday. This clear approach helped key members with a clear overview of which location was performing well and which needed attention.

Results And Impact

The implementation of these solutions resulted in significant time savings and better data accuracy for Sparkle Express Car Wash Company.

The real-time data generation and weekly report helped them analyze each location's profit, performance, and areas of improvement. This solution is not only for streamlined operations but also a template that can benefit any business facing similar challenges in data management and reporting.

Relu Consultancy's solution gave Cameron and Sparkle Express Car Wash Company more time to focus on operations rather than report management and analysis. 

The challenge

The job market is huge and ever changing. Thousands of jobs are listed online, on various job portals every day. To list out these job alerts manually from job portals according to the requisite keywords, is extremely time consuming and tiring. In addition to this, it requires human resources exclusively dedicated to this work, which puts more financial strain on a firm.

Our client, suffering from the same issue, was looking for options to automate job listing based on keywords and organizations across different job search sites, primarily Google Job Search and welcometothejungle.com. The client wanted a job scraping tool, to scrap three main data points, the job title, the job URL, and the date when the job was posted, from these job search platforms.

The Solution

So, to simplify their search for employment opportunities, we came through with a job scraping software which would undertake web scraping on the websites mentioned by the clients in order to gather data on job listings in a simple, time and cost-efficient way.

Firstly, we created a job scraper bot to perform all the manual processes from searching for the companies and keywords on the listed job portals. We also built an API, which acts as a trigger that initiates the process.

Along with that, we integrated an n8n automation tool to give the process and environment a smooth and uninterrupted run. When the client clicks start in the n8n tool, it will initiate the process, and the scraper bot will run through the website and gather the required data.

When the scraper set is ready, the web crawlers start providing the data in the client’s required format. If the client provides the company name and keyword, the scraper will collect the job title, URL and data posted. If the company is not found, then it will give the result otherwise.

Advantages

• Swift Work Ethic: within a week we designed the technical aspects and set up the web crawlers, allowing the client to gather data in a shorter time.
• Industry Expertise: our hands-on experience in web scraping helped us design a solution that can quickly perform all the manual processes and control a vast amount of data.
• Affordable Alternative: the job scraper will be more affordable in terms of cost and time than the manual listing.

The challenge

If all the seller profiles are opened and checked manually, the task seems to be nearly impossible because of the huge number of sellers selling their products on bol.com.

The Solution

So, to fulfill their needs we developed a tool called ‘Bol scraper’ which automates the whole process of going through all the pages of the e-commerce website and extracting the details of the seller according to the client’s need. Bol Scraper is a GUI-based tool which means after the tool is delivered to the client, even a user without much technical knowledge can make changes to the parameters (such as the number of reviews, SKUs, and rating) for filtering out the sellers and operate it without any hassle. The client can either select the category through the UI which is to be scraped otherwise, he also has the option to scrape all the categories at once.

We use scrapy, a python-based framework, to scrape through all the pages of the e-commerce website. Along with that, we have integrated various extensions in the module to avoid getting blocked by the bol servers that may happen after making repeated requests for data within a small amount of time.

The scraper shows the details of the sellers meeting all the criteria in real-time as they are scraped through a table in the UI and the user has the option to export all the scraped data to a CSV file at any point during the scraping process.

Using this scraper, we were able to scrape more than 1000 subcategories from bol.com.

Advantages

• Thousands of pages can be scraped at once, allowing the client to gather data in a shorter time.
• The scraper can be used for lead generation and approaching different sellers according to the different requirements of the client.

The Challenge

There was a requirement of the details of golf courses which was all available on a website. If that data was to be used for any process, it was first required to be exported in a proper format from that website. This could’ve not been manually possible to do as there were hundreds of golf courses.

The Solution

So, this process was automated and details was extracted from the website and an approach was used to also include the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the location of the golf course. It takes few minutes to extract the details of hundreds of golf courses in a format required by the client.

Advantages

• A lot of time and human effort is saved through this process.
• Another similar site can be scraped with minimum changes in the main script.
• The client can get or update existing data within minutes through this process.

The challenge

The client requested that we generate leads from a Taiwan-based e-commerce website called “Shopee.” Our client wanted to expand their business by providing their delivery service to the sellers selling their products on this particular website. Therefore, they asked us to extract a list of all retailers and their details so that they can extend their services to them. They also asked us to find the e-mail addresses and phone numbers to contact the sellers.

Because of the large number of sellers selling their products on Shopee, manually opening, and checking all of the seller profiles appears to be nearly impossible.

The solution

As a result, we used web scraping and web crawling technologies to automate this process. Our data processing technology assisted in extracting the data much faster and without making the targeted website suspicious. To find the contact information we used our in house email and phone number finder code so that our client can contact his customers easily. When the process was completed, we provided a list of seller names, along with their number of followers, joining history, rating, page URL, usernames, product category, number of products sold, number of items sold, email addresses, and phone numbers. We provided this information in an Excel file that the client could easily access.

The outcome

We were able to extract information from that website from around 700+ sellers thanks to this scraper. EZIE can now directly contact the potential sellers and broaden their client base with the scraped data. Web scraping saved a lot of time, money, and effort for all the parties involved by searching and analyzing every detail of the sellers. Given that the entire procedure is automated, this method also produced accurate data, which also makes it more reliable.

The Challenge

The challenge lay in the intricacies of LinkedIn’s security measures. LinkedIn is renowned for its stringent security protocols, akin to other prominent social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. These platforms make scraping data from their backend APIs a formidable task. They employ a multitude of security checks and obstacles to prevent automated data extraction.

Additionally, the client had a specific set of requirements that included capturing data on the most recent posts from the target profile. This entailed recording critical details such as the post’s URL, date of post, the number of likes and reactions it received, the total number of comments, and the post’s caption. However, the client did not require the retrieval of images included in the posts. Furthermore, the tool needed to be capable of extracting data from the selected profile efficiently and quickly.

‍

While images were not included, this streamlined approach allowed for efficient and quick data
extraction. The tool operated seamlessly, collecting data from LinkedIn profiles for up to one year in a single run. This meant that users could access a year’s worth of posts from any profile, providing valuable insights for data analysis and sentiment assessment.

Conclusion

Our client presented us with a distinctive challenge: to scrape LinkedIn posts from a specific profile spanning a year. Despite LinkedIn’s robust security measures, we successfully developed a custom scraping tool that efficiently navigated the platform’s backend API calls. By mimicking human behavior and employing login cookies, we ensured the tool’s effectiveness and compliance with the platform’s security checks. The output of our tool met the client’s requirements precisely. It provided a dataset containing essential post details, enabling data analysis and sentiment assessment. This case study showcases our ability to tackle complex scraping tasks, even on highly secured platforms, and deliver efficient, customized solutions to meet our client’s unique needs.
