The Challenge: Upholding MAP Policy Across Diverse Marketplaces

Monitoring Need: As their business grew manifold across various online platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Allegro etc., Portwest encountered the challenge of keeping track of whether the retailers are adhering to the pricing policies or not. They faced twin challenges- to monitor price and sales volume of their products and spot the unauthorized retailers who would manipulate prices at will and violate the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP).
Inadequate Existing Solution: Portwest used Zyte for data extraction initially but quickly realized the limitations. They noticed that data success ratio was around 60% and the costing for data scraping shot up which was unsustainable for them. So their existing solution was inadequate in different ways. What they needed was a more accurate and robust tool which could tackle large quantities of data extraction across different marketplaces. They also needed a solution that was more affordable.
