Brand protection
Listings by sellers outside your authorised list, and below your registered price, as a consumer in another country sees them — captured with a record.
What you see only from that country
Listings by sellers outside your authorised list, and listings below your own price, are shown to consumers in that country. A listing that does not appear from your own desk can still be visible from there.
Many listings are served to visitors from particular countries — language, currency and delivery settings decide what is served. Kansoku reads from a connection in that country.
What can be captured
| Listings by sellers outside your list | On the sales pages you registered in each country, sellers who are not on your authorised list |
| Listings below your registered price | Sellers cheaper than your own price, and by how much |
| Recurrence | A closed listing coming back at the same store |
| The weekly picture | A weekly report of matching results, price drops, new sellers and progress on cases |
The machine finds it. A person decides.
Stated plainly: the machine detects listings appearing, their price, their stock and their disappearance, and stores the page as it stood. Whether something is counterfeit, or outside your authorised network, is for you to decide.
Import your authorised-reseller list and each seller is matched as a match, not on the list, or cannot be identified (a store name alone is never a match). What arrives each morning is what changed since yesterday. It is material for a decision, not the decision.
A record that is already there makes the difference
A takedown notice needs more than a sighting, and so does an internal review. Both need what was displayed, in which country, on which date.
Kansoku's Browser API opens the page from an address in that country and stores the rendered page and a screenshot as retrievable artifacts, with the retrieval time, the country of the address used, and a request identifier alongside.
A record of when, from which country and what was displayed builds up automatically at the moment of discovery.
Public surfaces, recorded as published
What Kansoku records is what anyone can see without an account. We record public surfaces exactly as they are published.
The test-buy step in anti-counterfeiting work is carried out by you or by an investigations firm. Kansoku covers the discovery and the record that precedes it.
Who uses it
- Brand owners monitoring exposure across markets continuously
- Authorised distributors tracking parallel imports into their territory
- Legal and IP teams needing records they can check later when preparing notices or considering legal action (whether a record is admitted as evidence is for counsel to judge)
- Investigations firms and law firms running clients in separate workspaces
