Pronto Inc. is one of the newest businesses created by InterActiveCorp (Nasdaq: IACI). Pronto recently went into the Beta testing phase. The purpose of Pronto is to make life easier for the online consumer who may be distraught by the abundance of online merchants.
Pronto grabs product listings and prices from thousands of these online retailers including Newegg, Jr.com, and EWorldSale. Results can also be filtered by categories, merchants, and brands. Products can be sorted by highest-lowest prices and vice-versa. Oh! And one more thing! You can set Price Alerts (arrives via e-mail or Shopping Messenger) for certain products that is grabbed by Pronto. Here is an example of me setting a Price Alert for a $299 Black Sports Coat made for an iPod on Amazon. I’m willing to pay $1 and not a penny more!!
What I like about Pronto is the fact that there is a large database that surrounds the website. Users are able to browse through over 45 million products and select from thousands of merchants across the globe. This essentially expedites the online shopping experience as a whole and we all know that “Time is Money!”
