👋 As we dive into the Black Friday shopping frenzy, it's crucial to be aware of some tricks shops might use (last 30 days price was lower than the current discounted one). I've put together a quick demo showing how to use a simple script to check if the prices you see are genuine. 💡I'm considering turning this script into a Chrome extension to make it more accessible for everyone. #BlackFriday #ShoppingTips #aboutyou https://lnkd.in/d4gCskCm

The road to dollars on the asset sheet can be tough or slightly less tough, your choice. Why important? No cash on net income = layoffs, trade & marketing spend elimination, equity dilution, price increases, and reduced r&d/innovation. All of those accelerate negative cycles. When it comes to spend, it's tempting to "ready, fire, aim" and "spray and pray". Come in and spend without context then be forced to get tight and trim healthy spend. Ready, aim, fire. One shot. One hit. Plenty of ammunition left and actually more on the way.

Hotchpot literally means ‘a mixture of property.’ The concept of hotchpot has existed since the 12th century and its purpose is to ensure the fair distribution between beneficiaries.

YES! Shopping trolleys have jumped by 78% in the last year. YES! I've been shouting about this being a growth sector! But why has this happened? There are many reasons: 🏙The urbanisation of society. 🚌 More people are taking public transport. 🚙 Fewer people are driving. Fewer young people are taking driving tests. 🌍 Consumers are more aware of their impact on our planet. 👜Consumers don't want to struggle to carry shopping! I could go on with this list, but if you want to hear what consumers love about shopping trolleys then scroll to scroll 1:47:40 seconds and have a listen. https://lnkd.in/eBawxyaD WE ARE ON A FUNDRAISING ROUND AND WELCOME CONVERSATIONS WITH #INVESTORS. About our sector and traction so far. The shopping bag sector is worth over £0.5bn in the UK. Globally the shopping bag sector is forecast to grow from $10bn to $17.6bn in the next four years. Yet there is no go-to brand. We have proof of traction. We have stress-tested our business processes. We have ambitious plans. We are raising under SEIS with expected x20 ROI and we foresee a bright future. Come, join the Stroli revolution.

Ever dream of snagging a top-of-the-line laptop for R55? Well, that dream almost became reality for some lucky Makro app users this weekend! 🤑 😍 I'm sure we all saw the news about Makro's recent pricing error on their online and mobile shopping apps. While some might see it as a funny story of unreal discounts (R55 for Laptops and Coffee machines), it highlights a critical issue in eCommerce: the importance of robust Software Quality Assurance practices. As not to not stir up any godship or slander, not much is shared with the public when incidents like this happen, so we can't debate on exactly how to prevent the cause of this "Glitch", as they describe it, regardless here's what concerns me from a QA perspective: ☕️Testing Procedures: Were there thorough regression tests conducted after the implementation of a new system? Utilizing automated testing tools for various scenarios, including pricing validation, can significantly reduce the risk of errors. 📅 Data Integrity: Pricing is a core component of any online store. A glitch causing such a massive price drop suggests potential issues with data integrity or validation. 🔢 What can we do as testers to prevent such embarrassing situations for our clients? ✅ Data Mocking: Data mocking allows us to simulate various pricing scenarios during testing. Developing comprehensive test cases that specifically cover pricing logic and data integrity is crucial. This includes testing different pricing rules, promotions, and scenarios where pricing data might be manipulated. ✅ Real-time Monitoring: Implementing automated monitoring systems can provide real-time alerts to pricing anomalies. This allows testers to quickly investigate and address any potential issues before they impact customers. While Makro's terms of use and the CPA ultimately protect them in such situations, wouldn't it be better to avoid these glitches altogether? What other preventative measures could testers implement to ensure data integrity and prevent pricing errors? Let's discuss! 🤝 Here are some users discussing and sharing their thoughts on the glitch from twitter: https://lnkd.in/dZZATBRP #QualityAssurance #SoftwareTesting #DataIntegrity #eCommerce #QA #SoftwareQuality #PreventiveMeasures #PricingErrors #RealTimeMonitoring #DataMocking
