Sdeal: deals so good they're a steal
Sdeal (say it out loud) is personalised deal discovery for New Zealand: automated scrapers watch retailers around the clock, a growing catalogue tracks hundreds of thousands of products with millions of price-history rows, and subscribers get the deals that matter to them by WhatsApp, SMS and email. Today the live site lists 161,000 deals from 183 merchants.
A deals site is only as good as its data. Sdeal's scraping fleet visits retailer sites on a continuous schedule, extracts products, prices and offers, and reconciles them into one catalogue - so a "70% off" claim can be checked against a genuine price history rather than a made-up RRP. That's what 3.07 million price-history rows are for: honesty at scale.
Every category is covered - wine and spirits to fashion, beauty, electronics and home - with deals ranked by genuine discount depth.
Sdeal is not just comprehensive, it is fast. Everything is cached, so API responses come back in single-digit milliseconds, and users scroll through thousands of products with no noticeable page load at all - the catalogue simply glides.
We believe it is the fastest e-commerce deals directory in New Zealand. If you can find a quicker one, we would genuinely like to see it. Challenge us.
Subscribers tell Sdeal what they care about and get matching deals pushed to WhatsApp, SMS or email - through messaging infrastructure we built and run ourselves, with no per-message platform fees eating the economics.
The whole operation - scraping, matching, ranking, alerting - runs unattended on scheduled jobs, monitored by the same AI operations tooling that runs the rest of our estate.
