Biscuits SKU Pricing & MAP Monitoring India

 


integration

Actowiz Solutions delivered SKU-level pricing intelligence and MAP compliance monitoring for India's biscuit category across e-commerce, grocery, and quick commerce — covering Parle-G, Britannia Marie Gold, Sunfeast Dark Fantasy, Hide & Seek, and Bourbon.

Client Overview

The client is a top-3 Indian biscuit manufacturer with a portfolio spanning glucose biscuits, cream biscuits, premium cookies, and digestive variants. With Parle-G's ₹10 ubiquity, Britannia's premium positioning, and Sunfeast's aggressive premium-mass play, the brand needed continuous visibility into category pricing dynamics.

Industry & Geography

Industry: FMCG / Biscuits & Bakery

Geography: India (multi-channel, multi-city coverage)

Business Challenges

Mass + Premium Pricing Complexity

Single SKU portfolio spanned ₹10 entry packs to ₹200+ premium imported cookies — each tier needed different competitor benchmarks.

Family-Pack Discount Wars

800g Parle-G and Britannia Marie family packs had volatile pricing, with discounts changing weekly on Blinkit and BigBasket.

MAP Violations

Third-party sellers on Amazon and Flipkart routinely listed biscuits below MAP, damaging modern trade relationships.

Combo Pack Bundling

Britannia + Bournvita, Sunfeast + Tea bundles needed separate combo tracking.

Project Objectives

  • Track real-time pricing across 50+ biscuit SKUs from 6 brands

  • Monitor MAP compliance and detect violations within 1 hour

  • Capture family-pack and combo-pack discount patterns

  • Benchmark premium cookies (Dark Fantasy, Bourbon, Pure Magic) against international brands

  • Enable digital shelf analytics — share of search & buy box visibility
