This automation saves my client 12k/yr mininum
So for this specific client through a Skool post in an AI group and ended up being the middle-man developer on this project. They have thousands of player contacts and constantly need the latest data. I made a simple dashboard where they just hit Start once a day, and it does the scraping automatically with puppeteer. It runs 5 puppeteer browsers in the background (images and extra requests off to keep CPU low) and uses proxy support so nothing when rate limits occur I just rotate the proxy. In about 5 hours it scrapes 2,500+ players and updates their Monday board with stuff like nationality, current club, market value, agency, contract dates, ID, and more, all in one place. A little small case study: Time comparison - Manual: 2,500 profiles ร 2 mins = 5,000 min (โ 83.33 hours) - Automation runtime: ~5 hours (handsโoff) - Human time saved per run: โ 78.33 hours Cost framing - At ยฃ12/hr data entry: 83.33 hrs ร ยฃ12 = ยฃ999.96 saved per run - Calendar time reduction: ~94% faster (83.33h โ ~5h)
