The World's First Price Search Engine With Real-time Technology Goes Live

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 17, 2009 – The world's first price search engine with real-time technology was just launched, marking a new era in online shopping. The technical innovation from apnoti.com GmbH, based in Starnberg near Munich, Germany, checks all quotes from over 10,000 affiliated shops in real-time for every single product and price request. With smart.apnoti.com, price-concious, smart online shoppers can finally be sure that the prices found are completely up-to-date. And that pays off: price fluctuations during the day of up to 70 percent for the same product from the same internet dealer are not uncommon.

Behind the internationally unique and complex technology is a simple yet impressive business idea: because classic comparison portals update their data on average once a day at most, current product comparison concepts can lead to price distortions and misled customers. “Almost every consumer who has looked for, compared and bought online products and prices in the past, has already paid too much at one point because of out-of-date price data. That is now a thing of the past!” announces Gerold Herrmann, founder and managing director of the successful start-up company, adding: “With over 65 million items from more than 10,000 online shops, the number of relevant search results is already very impressive. The new and unique technology is making online shopping a true real-time experience because at smart.apnoti.com, the user decides when to request the price: “current’ no longer means today, but now”.

The young company has already made a name for itself among many online shoppers. In October 2008, Gerold Herrmann's team brought consumers the first automatic price notification service with real-time technology – apnoti.com. The price-concious can also profit from the internet company's free smart shopping features, which are released almost every week.

The new real-time price search at www.smart.apnoti.com was just launched in Germany, the United States, Great Britain, and France. The service, in English and German, is available free of charge to smart shoppers who want to make intelligent, well-informed online purchases at real-time prices.
