Tracking advertised prices across multiple retailers and marketplaces is essential, but raw data alone isn’t enough. Brands need to analyze pricing trends over time to identify risks before they escalate.

Key Insights About Pricing Data:

Violation Hotspots: Identify which retailers, or platforms have the highest concentration of MAP violations.

Seasonal Trends: Detect pricing fluctuations before key shopping periods (e.g., Black Friday, holiday sales) to enforce MAP more effectively.

What we do for you:

• Automate Price Tracking – Our service provides historical pricing data, not just snapshots.
• Segment Data by Retailer Type – Differentiate between authorized, unauthorized, and third-party sellers to tailor your enforcement approach.
• Leverage Visualization Tools – Graphs highlight patterns that would otherwise be difficult to spot in spreadsheets.

By consistently analyzing pricing trends, brands can shift from reactive enforcement to strategic price protection.

Many MAP violations follow predictable patterns, and by analyzing historical pricing behaviors, brands can anticipate future violations before they escalate.

How Data Helps Prevent Violations:

Identifies High-Risk Sellers – By reviewing past violations, brands can pinpoint retailers most likely to break MAP policies again.

Detects Early Signs of Price Erosion – A series of small price drops across multiple sellers may indicate an impending wave of MAP violations.

Improves Response Time – Visibility for sudden price changes helps brands address violations before they spread.

What we do:

• Track Seller History – We keep a record of past violations to identify repeat offenders.
• Monitor Unauthorized Resellers – We watch for new third-party sellers listing your products, as they may not follow MAP guidelines.
• Early Warning Systems – Our automated notifications for price changes can help prevent widespread violations.

By proactively monitoring trends and retailer activity, brands can take preventive action and reduce enforcement workload.
