Find out first.
Act with evidence.

Octatail watches where your products are sold, preserves every listing as evidence, and hands your team the next action.

The Octatail Overview, running on illustrative data for a fictional brand.

01 · The problem

The grey market doesn’t just steal sales.

It takes the things that are hardest to win back — quietly, one listing at a time.

01

Your pricing power

Every listing 30% under your price teaches customers to wait, and gives your honest retailers a reason to demand discounts. Once your price slips, it rarely comes back.

02

Your name on the wrong product

Diverted stock arrives with the wrong claims, the wrong region and no valid warranty. When it disappoints, the buyer blames you — and the review sticks to your brand.

03

Your hold on the market

A market you don’t watch is a market someone else sells in. Unchecked, grey channels grow, and your partners lose faith in the rules — market by market.

02 · How it works

One loop. From first sighting to closed case.

Octatail runs the same five steps for every product you protect. Your team steps in only where a decision is needed.

01 / Monitor

Every site, on schedule.

Monitoring agents check the marketplaces and web shops where your products appear. When a site changes, Octatail adapts and re-checks it — you see reduced freshness on that site, never a silent gap.

02 / Decide

Decide per seller, not per listing.

Findings group every listing by seller and rank it by severity: what was found, how deep the undercut, how sure the match. Authorize a seller once, or confirm it is unauthorized, and every listing follows.

03 / Prove

Evidence that holds up.

Every capture is a preserved, timestamped snapshot of the live listing — screenshot, page source, extracted details and the price at that moment. Asset Fingerprint recognizes your official images wherever they are reused.

04 / Act

Drafted by Octatail. Sent by you.

Confirmed problems become cases. Each case bundles the evidence for one seller, prepares a takedown draft for your review, and records the outcome. Nothing is sent automatically.

05 / Understand

See the market, not just the listings.

Intelligence turns every decision into a picture leadership can read: who controls your distribution, where pricing power erodes, and how your reputation holds up — authorized versus everyone else.

03 · Intelligence

The questions your board asks. Answered on one screen.

These are live product panels, running on illustrative data. Hover the seller network to trace who sells what, or any chart to read its values.

04 · Evidence

A screenshot isn’t proof. A preserved capture is.

Enforcement fails when evidence is thin. Octatail keeps a record your marketplace contacts, distributors and legal team can act on.

Preserved capture of a grey-market listing for a fictional product
Chain of custody
From capture to outcome, every step on the record

Captured, not claimed

Full-page capture, page source and extracted details — preserved with the exact time of capture, whatever the seller changes later.

Matched to your catalogue

Every listing is matched to a product in your catalogue, with a confidence score your team can check.

Your images, fingerprinted

Asset Fingerprint checks listing images against your official library — Exact, Visual and Semantic Fingerprint.

05 · Security & privacy

Confidential by default.

Octatail handles brand-sensitive intelligence — who sells your products, where, and at what price. It is built to keep that inside your team.

Isolated per brand

Every record belongs to one brand account. Another account cannot see it, search it or guess its way to it.

Roles that match your team

Owners manage access. Team members run the operation. Client users get a read-only view of findings, evidence and reports.

Every decision on the record

Authorizations, dismissals, cases and outcomes are kept with who decided and when.

Nothing sent on your behalf

Octatail drafts takedowns. Your team reviews them and sends them.

Internal notes stay internal

Case notes and suspected sources are never shown to client users, and shared reports leave them out.

Hardened sign-in

Rate-limited sign-in, single-use reset links that expire in an hour, and sessions held in HTTP-only cookies.

Your data is used to deliver the service you engaged us for. We don’t sell it, and we don’t use one client’s data to benefit another. Questions about data handling: hello@octatail.com.
