MAP/MSRP monitoring: oversee distributor pricing
MAP/MSRP monitoring tells you automatically whether your distributors are selling at the recommended price. Violations surface immediately, no manual checking required.
Comprice is a price monitoring platform built for manufacturers and brand owners too. Distributor pricing oversight, distributor profiles, product availability matrix, automatic alerts.
Who it's for
- Manufacturers. Track whether distributors follow the recommended price (MAP/MSRP).
- Brand owners. Protect brand value from price erosion.
- Importers and marketing teams. Product availability matrix across all channels.
The problem it solves
As a manufacturer, you set MAP/MSRP carefully. But when distributors sell below it, the product loses value. Other distributors lose motivation and the price drop spreads.
Manual detection becomes impossible quickly. With 20 distributors and 100 products, hand-checking is no longer viable.
- You don't know who is selling below MAP/MSRP and when
- You don't know which distributors have removed a product from their catalog
- Manual checks take time and the data is stale instantly
How MAP/MSRP monitoring works
1. Set the recommended prices
Add MAP/MSRP for each product alongside the product data.
2. The system finds distributors automatically
AI detects every e-shop carrying your products. New distributors are surfaced as they appear.
3. Prices update multiple times a day
The system tracks each distributor's price in near real time. Comparison against MAP/MSRP is automatic.
4. Violations are detected immediately
Email arrives the moment a distributor goes below the recommended price.
5. Reports show the full picture
Who, where, when, and how far below MAP/MSRP they sold. All in one view.
