Automated MAP Compliance & Buybox Tracking Across 18 Marketplaces
The Engineering Challenge
A leading consumer lifestyle brand suffered significant margin erosion due to over 400 unauthorized third-party marketplace sellers undercutting Minimum Advertised Price (MAP). Internal Python scripts regularly failed due to Amazon & Walmart CAPTCHAs, missing over 65% of daily price fluctuations.
