What is MAP enforcement?
MAP enforcement occurs in the event when MAP monitoring software detects a re-seller violation of the MAP policy. Although re-sellers and distributors can violate MAP policies, suppliers can penalize them according to the agreed-upon terms, or simply terminate contracts if they do so, since this is not illegal in and of itself. Such sanctions include withholding orders or canceling contracts.
What is a MAP violation?
MAP violations occur when a reseller advertises a product below the price that was agreed upon in the MAP policy agreement. When resellers offer discounts to potential customers in a competitive online retail market where there are many sellers, this can happen. MAP violations increase when non-compliant re-sellers use repricing software that temporarily violates the MAP or automatically lowers prices when the competition does.
How do you monitor and enforce a MAP policy?
Monitoring and enforcing MAP policy automatically can prevent problems before they get out of hand. MAP monitoring services relieve you of the MAP enforcement burden and are more efficient than manual and time-consuming monitoring.
MAP violations need to be tracked at a large scale, given the sheer amount of online platforms where potential non-compliance can occur. The best way to do so is by working with specialized MAP violation monitoring software and services that can scan large amounts of data across marketplaces, detect mispricing, and notify infringing re-sellers and distributors automatically.
