Wondering if it is possible to create a macro script to search various online sites for product pricing. We have several contracted vendors, plus purchase from a couple of non-contracted vendors. I'm trying to figure out how to search across all of these at the same time to find best pricing rather than one at a time.
Thanks.

Re: Is this possible? Price Checking tool
How you do this is going to depend very much on how the websites in question work. Each site will need a different script and the methods use may vary. And one can't comment on feasibility without seeing the process required for each.
As to whether they can happen at the same time or one after the other this again is going to depend on the site. E.g. is client side simulation needed or will an HTTP request work. Maybe consider using multiple virtual machines and run different processes on each one.
