Collect data from linked pages This example requires the SDI Spider to visit a web page, parse through links on the page and extract the data on the target page. The SDI Spider will then delimit the extracted data into a data file for use in databases, web pages, etc. Manually attempting this task would require at least one person working for days to get all the information on 500 different companies. The SDI Spider can accurately provide this data in hours! 2. Generate a directory from a web page This example requires the SDI Spider to go to a web page that contains a listing of businesses. The displayed companies are extracted and their individual information parsed, delimited and exported to an Excel spreadsheet for use in office applications like mailings, etc. The listed companies individual names, addresses, cities, states, zip codes, phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses and web-sites are all placed into an individual record that can be sorted in any manner. This process can take days or even weeks to execute. The SDI Spider can accomplish this in minutes! 3. Generate an inventory This example requires the SDI Spider to go to a web page that contains eCommerce data. The products on the website are parsed, delimited and extracted to an output file for use in a POS system or Internet catalog. Any permutation of pricing, naming convention, product codes or product attributes can be sorted and made available for input to databases or for use in competitive business analysis. The SDI Spider saves the data in a precise format that reduces errors in formatting generally occurring in manually input inventory data. The SDI Spider is equipped to re-visit the site, analyze changes and search the data on a recurring basis; providing continually updated data. This process normally requires many employees working full time, while the SDI Spider accomplishes this task covering over 70,000 items in less than two hours!
