Unauthorized sale
Sites that do not belong to the brand but offer its name or products for sale become findings.
See the web shops beyond the marketplaces.
Counterfeits are not only sold on marketplaces. Authex finds independent web shops that use your brand or product photos through search and reverse image search, and records each site with evidence.
Scope
Independent stores and sites selling under their own domain.
Stores built on e-commerce platforms and sites selling under their own domain are scanned. Scans can be targeted by country and language; sites that do not sell, such as forums, news or dictionaries, and large marketplaces are kept out of this scope.
- Search engines
- Reverse image search
- Price deviation
- Product code match
Detection
What it catches.
Copied image
An exact match with the brand's own product photos or logo raises a finding to critical.
Unauthorized dealer
Sales activity by sites not on your authorized seller list is tracked separately.
Evidence
What is recorded for every finding.
- Screenshot of the site and capture time
- Source address and image similarity score
- WHOIS and SSL certificate details
- The platform the site runs on
Process
From finding to outcome.
Scope is defined
Brand name, products, official images, authorized sellers and allowed domains are entered.
Scans are scheduled
Channels, countries and scan frequency are chosen; scans then run on that schedule by themselves.
Findings are reviewed
Findings are ranked by risk level; the team confirms, reviews or dismisses each one.
Action is tracked
A confirmed finding gets an action record, a notice draft and an evidence package. The right holder or their lawyer files the notice, and the process is tracked on the record.
FAQ
Questions about E-Commerce Monitoring
Will our own site and our dealers' sites become findings?
No. The brand's official and allowed domains are never flagged.
How is this different from marketplace monitoring?
Marketplace monitoring looks at listings on platforms such as Trendyol or Amazon. E-commerce monitoring covers independent stores selling under their own domain.
Can we focus on a specific country?
Yes. Scans can be targeted by choosing a country and language.
