The Client

Our client is a renowned US-based electronics seller with a strong presence on Amazon and other marketplaces. They sought our e-commerce marketplace data scraping services to identify unauthorized sellers on Amazon and other platforms through digital surveillance. By leveraging our advanced data scraping techniques, the client could monitor product listings, detect counterfeit items, and ensure compliance with their brand standards. This proactive approach helped the client maintain their market integrity, protect their brand reputation, and ensure a secure shopping experience for their customers.

Key Challenges

When the brand began experiencing a significant increase in unauthorized sellers across Amazon and other marketplaces, they needed to take action. Their data needed to be updated, preventing them from identifying these unauthorized sellers, which created problems for both genuine sellers and customers, as it became difficult to differentiate between legitimate and counterfeit products. The brand decided to partner with us to tackle these issues. The challenges were twofold: proactive identification of unauthorized sellers and enforcement. We were tasked with the identification of unauthorized sellers. The brand had over 280 products sold in multiple countries through various marketplaces and distribution partners. Unauthorized sellers acquired products from the brand's supply chains and other sources, with new sellers continuously emerging. Some sold counterfeit products, leading to negative reviews. Additionally, their existing data supplier's delivery schedule could have been more reliable, and previous tools failed to stop unauthorized sellers' revenue leakage.

Key Solutions

The customer recognized the need for help removing unauthorized sellers from their marketplace and contacted us for assistance. We provided a comprehensive solution that enabled the client to identify unauthorized sellers on Amazon and other marketplaces through digital surveillance. Leveraging our proprietary technology and expertise, we quickly and efficiently identified these sellers, allowing the client to take prompt action against them.

We developed a custom e-commerce marketplace data scraper to monitor the brand's presence across all marketplaces and countries where their products were sold. The scraped data was automatically sent to the customer's database daily. The customer's team utilized their bespoke data analytics tool to compare this data with their internal databases, pinpointing unauthorized sellers.

Subsequently, the unauthorized seller data was shared with the enforcement team, which managed cease and desist notices and other enforcement activities. Thanks to our ECommerce Product Data Scraping Services, the client successfully identified and removed unauthorized sellers within three months.
