Supplier deduplication

Automatically deduplicate repeated supplier listings

BuyerPilot groups matching seller records before ranking, giving buyers a clearer comparison of unique suppliers rather than repeated offers.

Why duplicate suppliers distort a shortlist

One seller can publish many similar products. Ranking each listing independently can make that seller appear several times and push other viable suppliers out of view.

How BuyerPilot consolidates repeated records

The protected backend compares marketplace-specific supplier identifiers and normalised seller information, then combines matching products into one supplier record before final ranking.

Products remain traceable

Deduplication does not erase the associated offers. Eligible CSV exports and source links preserve the products connected to each consolidated supplier.

Deduplication runs before scoring

The supplier is consolidated first, then quantity-aware pricing and available credibility signals are processed for the final comparison.
