Replacing Two Amazon Analytics Subscriptions for an Agency
The problem
An Amazon agency managing more than 40 seller and vendor accounts was paying about $31,468 a year ($2,622 a month) for two analytics platforms: one for P&L reporting and one for Buy Box monitoring. The tools were expensive, their data lived in someone else's system, and cancelling meant losing years of reporting history.
What we built
A platform the agency owns. A managed data feed pulls Amazon settlement and sales reports into the agency's own PostgreSQL database, where a P&L engine produces per-SKU profit with landed costs and currency handling, reconciled against Amazon's own settlement totals and flagging any missing inputs. Buy Box changes post as alerts in Slack. Staff use a dashboard and API with per-person logins, and nightly backups and health checks run automatically. Before the old subscriptions were cancelled, more than five years of history was exported and kept.
