Online marketplaces have significantly disrupted traditional retail patterns and created a new competitive landscape. Many brands struggle in this new environment to control online sales, preserve product quality, brand image and overall brand equity. Companies of all types across virtually every product vertical find themselves grappling with channel conflict, brand erosion, negative consumer experiences, negative reviews and lost sales across their entire channel map – both online and offline.
