# Watch both sides of your market at once.

A marketplace can look healthy in total while one side quietly thins out. Adea watches sellers and buyers every night, tells you when a gap opens, and gives you the list of people to talk to.

Comparing categories, cities and kinds of seller

## What Adea watches in a marketplace.

Adea learns what a normal week looks like on each side of your market, per category and city. It only speaks up when one of them leaves normal.

- **New listings a week ** The supply side. A fall in one category hides easily in the total.

**1,975 **

- **Regular sellers who listed nothing ** Sellers who list every week and suddenly don't. The first sign a seller is leaving.

**38 **

- **Searches that find nothing ** Buyers who looked and left empty-handed. Where demand is waiting for supply.

**27% **

- **Orders a week ** What both sides together turn into. Moves last, after the damage is done.

**1,341 **

- **Days from listing to sale ** How fast things sell. Rises when buyers fall away, falls when supply runs short.

**9 **

- **New buyers who buy twice ** Whether buyers come back after their first purchase.

**24% **

Asked in plain words

Which categories have more searches than listings right now?

The answer

Sofas and chairs: 9,920 searches a week, and 27% of them find nothing that fits.

Sofas and chairs ** ** 27% 247 new listings a week

Dining tables ** ** 16% Searches up 12% since August

## Lists your team works through.

When an answer is a group of sellers or buyers, Adea turns it into a list that keeps itself up to date. Each row has an owner and a status.

## Questions owners ask

### Can Adea change listings, fees or orders?

No. Adea only reads. It can't change anything on your platform, and it never writes to your sellers or buyers on its own: it writes drafts and lists, and you decide what goes out.

### Our marketplace is built in-house. Does that work?

Yes, that's the usual case. Adea reads your own database and learns which tables hold sellers, listings, searches and orders. If you connect your code too, it can tell you which change moved a number.

### How does Adea know a seller has gone quiet?

It learns how often each regular seller usually lists, and notices when someone who lists every week suddenly doesn't. It tells you when the number of quiet sellers leaves its normal range, not about every single seller taking a week off.

### Can Adea see both sides of the market at once?

Yes. It watches supply and demand per category and city, so a gap in one category shows up even when the totals look fine.
