I am delighted to be able to show you some imminent and significant upgrades to PriceTRAX, the cellular device intelligence database providing weekly updates of unsubsidized, pre-paid and post-paid contract pricing from over 300 operators and retailers across 43 countries.

Firstly, for PriceTRAX subscribers, the new Retailer tab shown below provides a single place to view the device portfolios of each mobile retailer, something that wasn’t possible via our website until now.

The new tab provides a major new facility for retailer product portfolio analysis for tracking both your competitors and industry partners.  

Secondly, for users of SpecTRAX and PriceTRAX, I am delighted to announce a major upgrade to the data download functionality given by two new tabs:  'SIMPLE DOWNLOAD' and 'ADVANCED DOWNLOAD'.

Both of these new facilities allow more finely defined datasets to be downloaded for powerful off-line analysis as shown below in the ADVANCED tab.

Finally, for now, regular users of the PriceTRAX tool will notice the new 'RETAILER PRICING' tab sits alongside 'DEVICE PRICING' and 'OPERATOR PRICING'.  All three tabs have two new drop-down data options - 'PREPAID AND UNSUBSIDISED' and 'CONTRACT' - providing much simpler access to all of the data.

If you would like to have a demo of these new features just e-mail me or the SpecTRAX team and we will arrange it.
