make some additional features to a web scraper for opencart

So what we have is an opencart store for which we have purchased this extension for web scraping:

[login to view URL]

You can download the trial version to check it out which is the same core thing as the pro version but with scraping limitations.

We need some additional features but the original developer is too busy and we need them asap. So basically what I need is someone with expertise in this type of scripting that can easily get familiar with this extension and be able to add more websites of our suppliers to scrape from as well as change some things from the exisiting ones.

But, before we get to the tweaks, fixes and additional website scrapers, the task I need accomplishes first is to create a "category matching" feature for the incoming scraped products to match the local store categories. This feature may or may not be connected to the multiscraper, depends on the method you choose to implement. The objective of the "category matcher" is to have the incoming scraped products match a local category as best as possible. I think the best way to accomplish this is to make the category matcher while the multi scraper does the scraping, before entering opencart. (you can get category used in source website, and find similar text from local categories, if no match, then use titl). In both cases we need to use synonyms from some API to make sure it ALWAYS finds a suitable category for each product.

After this I will need couple tweaks
