The CEO was spending ~6–8 hours per week reviewing listings after receiving complaints from partners.

In one instance: 2 distributors dropped 8% below MAP. Avg product price: €1,100. 40 units sold before detection → ~€3,520 margin erosion.

They switched to Market Edge (€240/month).

+€27.4k

Margin / month

An FMCG distributor managing 14,000 products across 12 competitors assumed pricing was aligned with the market.

Market Edge revealed 17% of SKUs priced below market average
Underpricing spread across long-tail, high-volume items
Gaps often between 1–4% — invisible individually, significant at scale
After correcting 480 SKUs → +€27,400/month recovered margin
Small price gaps. Massive portfolio impact.

With high-volume, low-margin goods, even small pricing gaps matter — but manual checks only covered top sellers.

~€200k

Revenue / year

A bearing distributor received an urgent request: LBA 80 SKF — €200/unit, 8 pieces required, no longer in production.

Identified remaining stock across the market
Fulfilled an 'impossible' order with proof
Kept a positive margin (+5%)
Converted urgency into long-term revenue

Instead of declining the order, they used Market Edge (€650/month) to monitor competitors and identify distributors still listing available stock.

They sourced the remaining units, added a 5% margin, and fulfilled the order.

Long-term impact: the client became a recurring customer, generating ~€200,000/year in additional purchases.

Procurement

Smarter Procurement – Avoiding a Low-Margin Order

Avoided a low-margin €78k order by focusing on products competitors didn't have — resulting in ~€15.6k profit.

Gross margin

A bearing distributor was preparing a large restocking order.

Avoided near-zero-margin inventory
Rebuilt the order around stock gaps
Order value: ~€78,000
Applied margin: ~20% → ~€15,600 gross margin

Read full story ›

Initial plan: purchase 20 bearing SKUs worth ~€78,000.

Market Edge showed 4 competitors already selling those SKUs at near purchase cost — margin would have been minimal.

They shifted the €78k order toward 15 products competitors lacked — securing ~€15.6k in gross margin.
