For many years, Arev has been analysing price surveys for companies, institutions and associations. Analytical tools have been developed that are well-suited for this type of analysis. Above, for example, you can see the results of a recent survey by ASÍ on over-the-counter medicines and other products in pharmacies.
The app has four analytical modules:
1) Comparison of individual shops and analysis of the greatest differences between them
2) Trend shows how prices in a particular store have developed over the past few years.
3) The increase in the shopping basket of individual stores is put into context with several key economic indicators, such as the index and the exchange rate, over the past few years.
4) Cash registers are used to analyse actual pricing in shops and where they rank compared to other shops.
The app contains information on food, medicine and books. In December, various Christmas products will then be added. Databases are updated within four hours of the publication of scans.
Further information about the app is available by sending an email to the address arev@arev.is.
