Authorized seller program
Structure and documentation for who may resell your brand, on which channels, at what price. The foundation every enforcement action rests on.
Brand protection
Brand protection and MAP enforcement.
Unauthorized vendors are more rampant than ever. The last thing you want is someone selling your brand without proper storage, quality controls or care. We build reports that show who, how, where and when unauthorized sales occur. Our goal is to be your authorized reseller and partner: we sell your products the right way ourselves, and help you clear out the sellers who do not.

How we hold the line.
Consistent pricing across all retail channels is invaluable. The more confidence your customers have in the value you offer, the more they buy.
MAP monitoring
Ongoing price tracking across marketplaces and web retail. We pay attention to pricing so you do not have to, and we flag drift as it starts.
Unauthorized seller reporting
Reports that show who, how, where and when. Seller identity, listing and channel, pricing history and timing, packaged so your team can act rather than guess.
Listing & content control
Ownership of titles, imagery, A+ content and variation structure so your brand reads the same everywhere it appears.
Test buys & evidence
Where it matters we buy from the unauthorized seller, document condition and packaging, and keep the paper trail intact.
Channel policy
Written channel rules covering pricing, packaging and territory, so the standard is stated up front rather than negotiated after a violation.
Our distribution policy
Brand first, always.
Some of what we buy, we also supply to vetted contractor and government accounts, by introduction only. We only supply your products to wholesale accounts you approve, and every reseller we supply is bound by your MAP policy as a condition of buying from us. Accounts you have not approved cannot buy your line from us.
The process
How enforcement actually works.
01
Baseline
We map every seller currently on your listings, what they charge and where they likely source. You get the honest picture before anything changes.
02
Monitor
Continuous price and seller tracking. New entrants and price drops surface as they happen rather than at a quarterly review.
03
Report
Documented findings with seller identity, channel, pricing history and timing. Formatted for your legal or brand team to use directly.
04
Enforce
We hold MAP on every channel we sell through and support your enforcement actions with evidence. Clean channels reward the sellers who follow the rules.
Where we help most.
Brands with price erosion
Your MAP is published but nobody holds it, and every quarter the street price drifts a little further down.
Brands with a gray market
Product is appearing through channels you never sold to and you cannot tell where the leak is.
Brands with no authorized program
You have never formally documented who can resell you, which makes every enforcement conversation harder than it should be.
Brands losing the buy box
Too many sellers on a single ASIN, racing each other down, and your own authorized partners cannot win the sale.

Brand protection questions.
Yes, and that is usually step one. Written channel rules covering pricing, packaging and territory give every later conversation something to stand on. Enforcing a policy nobody has stated is very hard. Our MAP policy guide walks through what to put in one.
Up to a point. With your written permission we will issue cease and desist notices to unauthorized sellers on your behalf, which resolves a good share of cases on its own. Beyond that we stop: we are not attorneys and we will not pretend otherwise. Anything further, from platform IP complaints to litigation, needs your legal team, and we hand them the evidence in a form they can act on.
No. We monitor the marketplaces and the web retail where your product actually turns up. Amazon is usually the loudest but it is rarely the only leak.
We hold MAP on every channel we sell through. It would be difficult to ask you to take our reporting seriously otherwise.
