Solutions for Consumer Packaged Goods Brand Protection Teams
Counterfeit Goods Don't Stay
In One Channel. Your Intelligence
Shouldn't Either.
Human Expertise. Amplified.
A fake version of your product appears in a Telegram group. By Friday it's in 12 countries through grey market distributors you've never heard of. The counterfeiting threat facing CPG brands in 2026 is no longer a manufacturing problem — it's an intelligence problem. Hubstream connects your enforcement data, distributor intelligence, and marketplace monitoring into one network view, so your team can see the operation and dismantle it.

Why One Channel
Enforcement Doesn't Work
Grey market and counterfeiting threats move across channels simultaneously. So should your intelligence.
Multiple
Disconnected Dots
Each channel managed separately — the cross-channel operation stays invisible
A Connected
Threat Network
What You Get
Four things CPG brand protection and anti-diversion teams get from Hubstream — that channel monitoring alone can't deliver.
Find the Source
of Diversion.
Every grey market symptom has an upstream cause.
Grey market and counterfeit activity in CPG almost always traces back to an authorized distributor or supply chain leak. Hubstream connects your distributor audit data, marketplace intelligence, and enforcement records so you can follow the product back to its source.
- Distributor intelligence linked to enforcement
- Product traceability across channels
- Root-cause identification, not symptom management
Connect Distributor Audits
to Marketplace Enforcement.
Your authorized network and your enforcement data belong together.
The gap between distributor audits and marketplace enforcement is where grey market operations hide. Hubstream bridges that gap — so when you see suspicious marketplace activity, you can immediately cross-reference your authorized distribution network.
- Authorized distributor data linked to enforcement
- Unauthorized reseller identification
- Channel integrity monitoring
Map Grey Market Networks
Across Channels.
Grey market activity doesn't stop at a single channel.
Grey market operations span social commerce, dark channels, and unauthorized exporters simultaneously. Hubstream maps the full network — from the Telegram group to the customs seizure to the marketplace listing — so you see the operation as a whole.
- Multi-channel grey market mapping
- Cross-border network visualization
- Social commerce + marketplace + customs — connected
Protect Pricing Integrity
with Intelligence.
Diversion intelligence your commercial team can act on.
Grey market activity erodes your pricing strategy and your authorized channel relationships. Hubstream gives your brand protection and commercial teams the intelligence to identify where product is leaking, at what scale, and what it's costing you.
- Pricing integrity monitoring
- Commercial impact quantification
- Board-ready enforcement reporting
Global CPG Brand
Discovering that an authorized distributor was the source of a grey market operation across Southeast Asia.
"We'd been chasing grey market sellers across four countries for over a year. Connecting our distributor audit data with our customs and marketplace enforcement records showed us we'd been looking at symptoms, not the cause."
- 01 / Connected grey market seller activity across four Southeast Asian markets to a single authorized regional distributor operating a parallel export business.
- 02 / Provided packaged intelligence to the commercial team enabling contract termination and legal action against the distributor.
- 03 / Supported customs intelligence-sharing with three national authorities, resulting in coordinated interception of unauthorized shipments.
- 04 / Eliminated the primary source of grey market supply, reducing unauthorized resale volume significantly within two quarters.
