Automated Reseller & MAP Violation Monitoring Platform
Safeguard your brand equity and protect authorized dealer margins. Track advertised prices across hundreds of e-commerce storefronts, detect unauthorized discounting, and compile timestamped audit evidence.
Business Challenges We Help You Solve
Real-world obstacles that hinder commerce teams without automated data intelligence.
Unauthorized Reseller Price Slashing
Rogue third-party sellers acquire inventory through gray channels and list below MAP, devaluing brand equity.
Friction with Authorized Retail Partners
Compliant brick-and-mortar and premier online partners express frustration and demand concessions when rivals violate MAP.
Hidden In-Cart Discounting Tactics
Violators circumvent simple monitoring by hiding discounted prices behind "See Price in Cart" or checkout promo codes.
Lack of Defensible Legal Evidence
Without timestamped screenshots, seller store URLs, and historical logs, enforcing dealer agreements is difficult.

We capture precise advertised price points, identify seller storefront entities, and store defensible screenshot records to empower your brand protection and legal teams.

Responsible Monitoring vs Legal Enforcement Disclaimer
MaaTech Analytics provides factual data monitoring and automated evidence collection of publicly advertised retail prices. We do not provide legal advice, issue formal legal notices, or guarantee that an advertised price constitutes an actionable breach of contract. Reseller policy enforcement, antitrust compliance, and distributor actions remain the sole responsibility of the brand in consultation with qualified legal counsel.
Monitoring covers publicly viewable listing prices subject to platform access permissions.
