Promotional Compliance — Verify Every Retailer Activates Your Promo Price

Launch promotional campaigns with confidence. ShoppingScraper monitors every retailer in your network and shows you, in a single color-coded matrix, who activated the correct promo price, who deviated, and who failed to list the product entirely.

Challenges

Sound familiar?

Trade marketing teams spend days manually checking if retailers activated the correct promotional price — and still miss violations.

Without real-time visibility, you only discover non-compliance after the campaign ends, when the revenue is already lost.

Retailers who fail to activate promotions or list incorrect prices erode margins and undermine brand positioning.

Building compliance reports from spreadsheets is error-prone and impossible to scale across hundreds of SKUs and dozens of retailers.

No single system connects your promotional calendar, target pricing, and actual shelf prices — until now.

How It Works

Get started in minutes

1

Create a Promotion Campaign

Use the 3-step wizard to set campaign details — name, start and end dates, duration presets, and monitoring schedule. Then select the retailers you want to track, grouped by parent company for fast selection.

2

Set Target Prices per Product

Choose the products in your campaign and define the Promo Price and RRP/MAP for each. Upload hundreds of SKUs at once via CSV or add them individually.

3

Monitor the Compliance Matrix

Once the campaign goes live, ShoppingScraper checks every retailer on schedule. The Product x Retailer compliance matrix shows color-coded statuses in real time — green for compliant, yellow for price deviations, red for not listed, and amber for out of stock.

Why Promotional Compliance Determines Campaign ROI

Brands invest heavily in promotional campaigns — negotiating with retailers, funding price reductions, and coordinating across channels. Yet studies show that 30-40% of trade promotions fail to deliver expected ROI, often because retailers do not activate the agreed-upon pricing. Without automated verification, non-compliance goes undetected until it is too late. ShoppingScraper closes this gap by monitoring every retailer in your campaign and surfacing deviations within hours, not weeks.

  • Detect retailer non-compliance on day one of a campaign, not after the post-mortem
  • Quantify exactly how much revenue is at risk from incorrect pricing or missing listings
  • Build an evidence trail of compliance data to strengthen retailer negotiations

From Spreadsheet Chaos to a Single Dashboard

Most trade marketing teams rely on a patchwork of manual checks, retailer screenshots, and Excel files to track promotional compliance. This approach does not scale — especially when campaigns span dozens of retailers and hundreds of SKUs. ShoppingScraper replaces the spreadsheet chaos with one real-time dashboard. The compliance matrix gives you the full picture at a glance, and the export options let you share results with stakeholders in the format they prefer.

  • Replace hours of manual price checks with automated, scheduled monitoring
  • Share compliance reports with category managers, sales teams, and leadership in seconds
  • Compare compliance rates across campaigns to identify consistently underperforming retailers

Campaign Intelligence That Improves Over Time

Every campaign you run through ShoppingScraper builds your compliance intelligence. Historical data reveals which retailers consistently activate on time, which ones need follow-up, and which ones ignore promotional agreements altogether. Use these insights to optimize your trade spend, renegotiate terms, and focus co-marketing budgets on partners who deliver results.

  • Track compliance trends across quarterly and seasonal campaigns
  • Identify top-performing retail partners based on activation speed and price accuracy
  • Use historical compliance data to forecast campaign ROI more accurately
