Case Study: Swiss Marketplace Group blocks millions of bots daily with DataDome

Swiss Marketplace Group blocks millions of bots daily with DataDome

Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG), Switzerland's leading digital marketplace operator, faced a persistent challenge from competitors scraping and republishing listing data from its flagship platforms, Homegate and ImmoScout. Their existing patchwork of defenses could not keep up with evolving bot techniques, and they required a solution with near-zero false positives to avoid impacting legitimate users. They selected DataDome's Bot Protect service to address this threat.

DataDome implemented its purpose-built bot protection, which fit seamlessly into SMG's server-side cloud infrastructure. The solution now blocks millions of scraping bots daily with minimal false positives, protecting valuable data and stopping competitor theft. DataDome also provided superior visibility into automated traffic and was highlighted for its smooth user experience and excellent collaborative engagement model with its Threat Research team.
