Sales-monitoring service for manufacturers
Where in the world is your product being sold, who is selling it, and for how much?
Kansoku is a sales-monitoring service for manufacturers. It reads sales pages around the world every day and brings who sells your products, at what price, and whether they are authorised onto one screen.

What manufacturers run into
By the time you notice, it has already happened.
- Sellers you have never heard of are selling your product
- Your price is collapsing abroad
- Stock is reaching markets you never contracted
- You learn about problem listings only after they appear
The same product page can show a different price and a different seller depending on the country it is opened from.

What it does
Watch, find, act and keep the record — in one service.
Matching against your authorised sellers
Sellers are matched to your authorised-seller list by store identity and sorted into matched, not on the list and could not confirm.
Discovery of new listings
On the major Japanese marketplaces, candidate listings you have not registered are searched for every day and laid out on the Find new listings screen.
Price changes and price erosion
Every rise and fall is kept day by day, with the gap to the price you registered for your own product laid out.
Owner, request draft, re-check
Set an owner and a deadline, draft the request and approve it, then observe again to confirm.
Watching for recurrence
Closed listings stay watched; if one comes back, it is linked to the original case and you are told.
Daily and weekly reports
A morning email and a weekly report arrive on their own. The weekly report can be printed or saved as a PDF, and the outcome report exported as CSV.
The record

Reports that arrive, and a screen that sums up
The right rhythm for each reader.

Every morning
Morning email
Price changes, and new listings by sellers not on your list, in the hands of the person in charge that same morning.
Every week
Weekly report
Matching results, the listings to look at first, price drops, new sellers and progress on cases in one report. Monday morning, by email (Japanese or English) and on screen.
Any time
Outcome report
Pick a period and total what was found, time to action, how cases ended and time spent. Export as CSV for reviews and budget approval.
A record that lasts
What was on screen, at that moment, from that country.
Not just a URL: the time, the country, the seller, the price and the page itself are kept together.
A record you can use as it is, for internal reports and for explaining a case to the parties involved.

The machine finds, a person decides
The judgement stays with you.
Kansoku finds and records. Whether a listing is counterfeit, unauthorised or a breach of contract is decided by a person — by you.
By industry
Each industry is watching for something different.
Cosmetics
Unauthorised sellers and price erosion, and a record of each listing for when a person investigates a possible counterfeit.
Health foods
Resale abroad, distribution into markets you never contracted, price gaps between countries.
Consumer electronics
Sellers, prices and stock by model number, and parallel imports.
Luxury brands
Which sellers and which countries you are sold in, and the price in each.
B2B components
Sales outside contracted territories, distributor activity, overseas distribution.
