Improve PHP code to set prices from competitors prices

Project Title: Improve PHP code to set prices from competitors prices

Overview:
I am looking for a skilled PHP developer to improve our current pricing algorithm, which is based on competitors' prices. The goal is to automate the process of setting prices by regularly tracking and updating them from a specific list of competitors.

Requirements:
- Experience with PHP development and strong knowledge of algorithms
- Familiarity with competitor tracking and price comparison techniques
- Ability to create a reliable and efficient system for retrieving and processing competitor prices
- Understanding of database management and integration to store and update prices
- Proficiency in real-time data processing and handling large datasets
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Specific Competitor Tracking:
As I have a specific list of competitors that I want to track, the ideal candidate should be able to incorporate this list into the algorithm and ensure accurate price updates.

Frequency of Price Updates:
The price updates should be performed on a daily basis to ensure the most up-to-date and competitive pricing.

Deliverables:
- Improved PHP code that efficiently retrieves and processes competitor prices
- Integration of the specific list of competitors into the algorithm
- Reliable and automated system for daily price updates
- Documentation on the implemented changes and instructions for future maintenance
