MAP Monitoring

Take your MAP under control

Modern e-commerce is similar to the wild west. Online retailers are willing to constantly dump their prices to attract new customers. In the process, they often ignore their vendor's Minimum Advertised Price (MAP). Once one of the distributors starts ignoring MAP, it usually takes less than two weeks for everyone else to break the code too.

Disrespecting the MAP may kill the niche, tightening profit margins or worse, making the product unprofitable. The problem is that monitoring MAP across retailers often requires a tremendous amount of time.

We can help you with this, solving this problem for you.

How Does It Work

We can create bots that will monitor prices among your distributors. Once an inappropriate price is published, we automatically generate a report for you and/or your distributor asking for that price to be adjusted.

All we need is your MAP API feed and a list of your distributors.

Development and First Run

Usually, it takes us between 1 and 5 business days to create a monitoring bot depending on the complexity of the website and its bots protection. Thereafter, we will provide you with a result sample to review. Once a green light is received, we will put bots on an automated schedule.

Maintenance

In the scrapping world, we work with the front end of websites. They tend to change from time to time. That is why we run daily checks on the websites we work with and adjust our bots accordingly.
