Kanstantsin is a serial entrepreneur with expertise in online retail. As an owner of several eCommerce sites, he identified with the pain that retailers went through when spending hours on competitor price monitoring and the lack of viable solutions on the market. Two years ago he started to develop a scalable technology with a vision to monitor an unlimited number of products against an unlimited number of competitors. This technology platform grew into Profitero and today it is a commercial product helping retailers track their product prices against the competition. As the technology now surpasses the monitoring of over 28 million products, it helps that Kanstantsin has a BSc with distinction in software engineering.
