Spadout is capable of indexing any store on the internet with no action from the retailer. Spadout does not use datafeeds or any client side technologies. Spadout has developed in-house bots and uses a server farm to index millions of prices per day.

Veta4, an in-house application, gives Spadout the competitive edge by automatically predicting currently unlisted products and automatically adding them. We do not manually add any products or prices at Spadout.
