Real-time identification of and effective action to address non-compliant sellers
(PRWEB) April 29, 2016
Ottawa, Canada: 360pi, the leader in price and product intelligence, and MarkMonitor, the leader in enterprise brand protection, today announced a partnership that helps the world’s leading brands identify and address online threats to their revenues and reputations.
The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that ecommerce sales grew by 14.6% last year and now account for 7.3% of all retail sales. This is a mixed blessing for brand manufacturers, delivering unprecedented ability to connect directly with shoppers, but also a loss of visibility into and control over their own supply chain. As well, it’s estimated that over a third of U.S. ecommerce purchases now go through marketplaces, into which brands have extremely limited insight and where the majority of seller violations occur.
“In the age of ecommerce, literally anyone can become a seller, making the threat of unauthorized and non-compliant sellers greater than ever,” said Jenn Markey, VP of Marketing, 360pi. “We help brands identify the violators in real-time, and our relationship with MarkMonitor lets them take effective action to address with turnkey case management and legal support.”
“We are extremely pleased to work with 360pi to be able to deliver our clients with real-time insight into who is selling their products, where, and at what price,” stated Anil Gupta, Vice President, Marketing, MarkMonitor. “Armed with this information, we are able to quickly identify and address unauthorized and non-compliant sellers on their behalf.”
