Step 1
First, we onboard all of your brand’s products into our database. During this process, we match each ASIN or UPC with the correct marketplace URL and MAP price, ensuring compliance with MAP Enforcement. This process can take 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of work involved.
Step 2
Next, we begin monitoring your listings 24/7/365 for preliminary data. This is the data intelligence we will use to get the first glance at your marketplace. We will provide you with a real-time dashboard that displays the results.
Step 3
Thirdly, we focus on notifying authorized sellers of MAP and UPP violations through a structured and effective process. Leveraging timestamped screenshots and real-time monitoring, our platform sends customized email alerts, ensuring sellers are informed of violations promptly—often within 24 hours of detection.

During this phase we work closely with the brand to create a Do Not Sell list and offer suggestions for preventing future grey market sales.
MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) enforcement for authorized sellers involves ensuring that retailers comply with the brand’s set minimum price. It helps maintain consistent pricing across all sales channels, preventing price erosion and protecting brand value.
Consistent MAP enforcement ensures fair competition among authorized sellers and maintains brand reputation. When sellers follow MAP guidelines, it reduces pricing conflicts and creates a level playing field, which also helps in retaining buy box control on platforms like Amazon.
MAP enforcement focuses on getting authorized sellers to comply with your pricing policies, while unauthorized seller enforcement involves identifying and taking action against sellers who are not permitted to sell your products at all. Both approaches aim to protect your brand, but MAP enforcement specifically targets price consistency among approved sellers.
When an authorized seller violates MAP, we may issue warning notifications, request corrective action, and engage with the seller directly. If non-compliance persists, we can escalate through formal notices, reduce product access, or take other steps to encourage compliance.
Yes, enforcing MAP among authorized sellers can help in maintaining the buy box on Amazon and other platforms. Consistent MAP compliance reduces price undercutting, which is a common factor affecting buy box eligibility, helping your listings stay competitive.
