Leading FMCG Brand Reduces MAP Violations by 68% Across Indian Marketplaces

About the Client

Client Overview

One of India's top 10 FMCG conglomerates with 200+ product lines across personal care, home cleaning, and packaged food, selling through Flipkart, Meesho, BigBasket, JioMart, and 50+ regional marketplaces.

Industry: FMCG / Consumer Goods | Region: India | Duration: 90 Days

The Challenge

What Problems Were They Facing?

• Unauthorized sellers on Flipkart and Meesho were undercutting MAP prices by 12-25%, eroding brand equity and creating channel conflict with authorized distributors.
• The brand protection team could only manually audit 30 SKUs per day across 3 platforms, leaving hundreds of violations undetected for weeks.
• Authorized distributors began threatening to drop the brand due to inability to compete with unauthorized seller pricing on major marketplaces.
• No centralized system to track MAP compliance across 50+ marketplaces and thousands of third-party sellers simultaneously.

Our Approach

How Actowiz Solved It

• Deployed Actowiz MAP monitoring across Flipkart, Meesho, BigBasket, JioMart, and 12 additional Indian marketplaces with daily price sweeps.
• Built a centralized MAP compliance dashboard identifying every violation by seller name, marketplace, discount percentage, and violation duration.
• Implemented automated violation reports sent daily to the legal and brand protection teams with escalation workflows based on violation severity.
• Created seller intelligence profiles tracking repeat offenders, pricing history, and estimated sales volume to prioritize enforcement actions.
• Provided evidence-ready violation documentation formatted for marketplace takedown requests and legal cease-and-desist notices.
