1. Challenge

The mineral elements of which the sanitary products manufactured by Tolsa are composed have undergone price variations in recent years. This generated in the company the need to have constant information on what was going on in order to remain at the forefront of its vertical.

With the main objective of having constant, real-time market information, the brand began to find out what its distributors were doing and how its competitors were performing.

2. Solution

Monitoring of distributors and competitors in 8 countries

Tolsa worked together with flipflow to establish for each Sanicat reference in its catalog the daily monitoring of all retailers and vendors. Both their own and those of the main competitors found in 8 countries, including information on prices, promotions and formats (including studies by material and volume).

Real-time monitoring of 3P sellers in marketplaces

It also had to be clear who the seller was within the marketplaces, so flipflow set up daily monitoring of all sellers in the buy boxes and their activity. This gave the company visibility into each distributor, but also into offline distributors entering marketplaces as sellers that could cause channel conflicts.

Impacted teams:

Daily price integration with CRM of sales network

An integration with the CRM was also developed for the sales team via API with flipflow so that the sales teams of the company in each country could have in their CRM real-time information on their own and competitors’ prices.
