The problem

Undetected MAP violations damage brand value and trust

Unauthorized discounting erodes your product's perceived value, undermines authorized retailers, and creates channel conflict. Without automated monitoring, violations go unnoticed for weeks — or longer.

01

Manual checks are impossible at scale

With hundreds or thousands of products across dozens of retailers, manually scanning for MAP violations is impractical — you'll miss most violations.

02

Stale data means late reactions

By the time you discover a violation, it may have been active for weeks, damaging relationships with authorized partners and your brand's premium positioning.

03

Evidentiary challenges

Retailers often change prices quickly. Without automated screenshots and timestamps, you lack the proof needed to enforce your MAP policy effectively.

The solution

Continuous MAP monitoring with instant alerts and evidence

ScraperScoop's MAP Compliance Monitoring solution automatically scans thousands of retailer and marketplace listings daily — matching your SKUs to advertised prices and flagging any violation of your Minimum Advertised Price policy.

How Luxe Audio stopped chronic MAP violations and protected brand value

Luxe Audio, a premium headphone brand, struggled with unauthorized discounting on Amazon and third‑party marketplaces. Their team was manually checking prices weekly — and consistently missing violations.

After deploying ScraperScoop's MAP monitoring, they received real‑time alerts on violations, complete with screenshots and price history. Within 90 days, they reduced violations by 85% and restored pricing integrity across all channels.
