Case Study: 3PM Solutions achieves rapid, scalable detection and removal of marketplace fraud with Google Cloud Platform

3PM Solutions Using data to detect, remove, and protect against online marketplace fraud

3PM Solutions is an eCommerce brand‑protection company that helps manufacturers and retailers detect and remove counterfeit, grey‑market, and misrepresented products on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart. The business faced massive, unstructured data volumes and slow, maintenance‑heavy infrastructure (Hadoop/HBase took weeks to set up and required ongoing manual upkeep), making it hard to quickly identify fraudulent sellers and protect brands at scale.

By migrating to Google Cloud Platform—using Cloud Bigtable, Compute Engine, Cloud Dataproc, Cloud Vision, App Engine and GKE—3PM automated data management, accelerated analytics, and added ML‑driven review classification and image matching. The move eliminated weekly maintenance, cut customer onboarding from days to minutes, enabled analysis of 160 million reviews across 2 million sellers in under four hours, supported 600% customer growth without adding headcount, and retrieves brand data from over a billion listings in seconds.
