How does SpearTrace help e-commerce & marketplaces teams?+
Marketplaces handle huge volumes of user images and documents. SpearTrace screens listing photos, refund evidence and seller identity media at volume and returns reasons that trust-and-safety teams can use.
What changes compared with the current approach?+
Edited receipts, recycled photos and synthetic seller identities pass because no team can inspect them all. Sensors screen every upload, rank risk with reasons and send only the borderline cases to people.
Can it run on-premise or air-gapped?+
Yes. Analysis runs on your own hardware, and the platform can be installed with no connectivity. Reports are exported as signed PDF and machine-readable JSON.
