Case Study: CarBoat reduces bot scraping and form spam with ShieldSquare

CarBoat Beats Scraping and Form Spam with ShieldSquare

CarBoat, a major French automotive marketplace and part of the Axel Springer group, was struggling with bad bots that scraped unique listings and advertiser contact details, generated fake leads, hurt user experience, and skewed analytics. To address these challenges, the company turned to ShieldSquare’s bot management solution.

ShieldSquare deployed an intent-based Deep Behavior Analysis (DBA) bot management platform with multiple integration options and managed service support. The solution enabled CarBoat to block sophisticated bots, feed fake data to competitor scrapers, and protect seller information, leading to a 50% reduction in bot management costs, a 17% increase in unique listings, and more accurate analytics.
