Unauthorized Sales on the Rise
Companies suffer as individuals resell their products to consumers on e-commerce websites, such as Amazon and eBay, without company permission. Aggregators and online sellers also source products at a reduced rate only to offer them at a discount to your minimum advertised price (MAP). Essentially, no company of any size or industry is protected from this.
Unauthorized sales cost companies millions of dollars in revenue each year, all while failing to keep the legitimate distributors happy and attract others. This is a critical issue as the potential damage is done to your brand over time.

“Before FieldWatch we had one employee in charge of searching the internet manually and then leveraged people across the local regions to do manual search as well. The key reasons for selecting FieldWatch were its technology, global language capabilities, and giving us the ability to gather and make the information immediately available, so we can take action. FieldWatch was a better fit to our work process related to flexibility and switching of parameters in a timely fashion. The ease of use, especially the ability to quickly modify keywords, is really important. The process and workflow are now closely aligned to the way we work.”
