Compliance and brand protection

In regulated categories, compliance decides whether an offer can go live at all. This is the area where the expensive part is rarely the mistake - it is not knowing the process.

GPSR

The EU General Product Safety Regulation requires manufacturer details and an EU responsible person to be shown with the offer. With a portfolio spread across several markets that means a very large number of forms to complete.

We do it in bulk, across all EU markets at once: we pull the list of violations, check the resolution path for each one, submit the data and confirm the filing. Instead of weeks of clicking - a process run that can be repeated whenever new products appear.

Transparency

The programme protecting against counterfeits and unauthorised sellers. We run the full process, including the stage where implementations most often stumble - operational validation (OPR):

  1. Enrolling the brand and productsEnrolment, then generating unique codes in the portal.
  2. Applying codes to packagingA production stage. The code is a Data Matrix, not a QR code - it is denser and readable at a smaller size, so it takes less space on the packaging. That difference matters in the brief to the printer.
  3. Starting validationLabelled goods arrive at the warehouse, where staff scan the codes on intake and verify readability and placement.
  4. Scan thresholdThe minimum number of correct scans required depends on the product's volume.
  5. Protected statusOnce the transition period ends, the platform blocks every seller without valid codes.
Two things worth knowing in advance. First: starting validation opens a thirty-day sell-through window for other sellers, but it does not pause your own sales - your labelled stock keeps selling normally. There is no need to plan for a month of downtime. Second: the same mechanism is the most effective way of removing third-party sellers from your product pages. Infringement reports work case by case and have to be repeated; this closes the problem for good.

Brand Registry

Brand enrolment unlocks A+ content, protection tools and part of the advertising toolkit. We handle the formal side, with two traps that most often derail the schedule:

Violations and appeals

We monitor account health and policy violations, prepare appeals and see cases through to a decision. That covers suppressed listings, blocks and intellectual property matters. Speed is what counts here - the longer a listing stays down, the harder it is to rebuild its position once restored.
