Claims:1. A method for normalizing unit of measures of a product, the method comprising:

retrieving, the product information from a plurality of websites using a web scrapper, wherein the plurality of websites include website of product from a plurality of retailers;
extracting, by a processor, the unit of measures (UOM) string from the product information, wherein the unit of measures (UOM) string includes a unit of the product and a quantity of the product;
identifying, by the processor, a standard unit using a UOM standard lookup dictionary;
converting, by the processor, the extracted unit of measures string in to the identified standard unit using a unit conversion API module; and
normalizing, by the processor, the converted standard unit of measures by removing the space between the unit of the product and the quantity of the product, results in generation of a normalized unit of measures.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of comparing the normalized unit of measures with a retailer’s normalized unit of measures.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the product information is retrieved using a real time or a batch mode retrieving operation.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the product information includes at least one of a brand name of the product, number of units of the product, quantity of the product, unit of measures of the product, product name or type of the product.

5. A method for improving a product matching efficiency for deciding a competitive pricing of the product, the method comprising:
retrieving the product information from an item master;
normalizing a unit of measures string for the product, wherein the unit of measures (UOM) string includes a unit of the product and a quantity of the product;
appending the product description with normalized unit of measures;
retrieving the product information from a plurality of retailers from their websites using a web scrapper, wherein the plurality of retailers having the same product in their website;
extracting unit of measures (UOM) string from the plurality of retailer’s product information;
identifying a standard unit using the UOM standard lookup dictionary;
converting the extracted unit of measures in to the identified standard unit using unit conversion API;
normalizing the converted standard unit by removing the space between the unit of the product and quantity of the product, results in generation of a normalized unit of measures;
indexing the normalized unit of measures of the product and retailer’s product in a database; and
searching on a search platform to match the product with the products of the plurality of retailers.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the indexing is performed using Apache Solr.

7. A system for normalizing a unit of measures of a product, the system comprising:

a web scrapper for retrieving the product information from a plurality of websites, wherein the plurality of websites include website of product from a plurality of retailers;
a database; and
a processor, the processor comprising,
an extraction module for extracting a unit of measures (UOM) string from the product information, wherein the unit of measures (UOM) string includes a unit of the product and a quantity of the product,
an identification module for identifying a standard unit using a UOM standard lookup dictionary,
a unit conversion API module for converting the extracted unit of measures in to the identified standard unit, and
a normalization module for normalizing the converted standard unit by removing the space between the unit of the product and quantity of the product, results in generation of a normalized unit of measures.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the product information is stored on a big data analytics framework.
