Case study · Ecommerce and marketplaces
Protect buy box share and catch unauthorised sellers early
Listings across several marketplaces were repriced by rules nobody could audit, and unauthorised sellers were undercutting MAP. DataplexLabs monitored listings, sellers and buy box ownership, then fed clean signals into repricing and enforcement.

Client details are anonymized at the client's request.
The challenge
- Buy box losses were noticed only in the weekly sales drop.
- Unauthorised sellers and MAP breaches were reported by distributors, not detected.
- Listing content and images drifted from the brand catalogue over time.
What we did
- 1
Tracked listings, sellers, buy box ownership and price history across marketplaces.
- 2
Flagged MAP breaches and unauthorised sellers with evidence for enforcement.
- 3
Audited listing content, images and attributes against the master catalogue.
Results
Buy box and seller changes visible the day they happen.
MAP enforcement backed by dated, documented evidence.
