Seller Labs Data Warehouse: Enhanced Amazon Seller Reports For Informed Decision-Making

As an online retailer, you are looking for a shortcut to success on a daily basis. Therefore, data-driven decision-making is crucial for Amazon sellers at each level of their eCommerce game.

Whether you choose the best time for your advertising campaigns, nail best-selling products across your sales channels, determine your advertising budget, or develop your brand-building strategy, you need a reliable source of information empowered by robust ETL tools (Extract, Transform, Load).

This is where data management software makes its case. At Seller Labs, we’ve seen firsthand how manual data collection and analysis can be overwhelming.

That’s why we rolled out our new Seller Labs PRO Data Warehouse designed to do the heavy lifting of data quality management and back your business decisions.

This article expands on Amazon data management, stresses its importance for your Amazon business, and highlights the main benefits that online sellers enjoy with the Seller Labs Data Warehouse in their corner.  

Let me fill you in one step at a time.

Why Is Managing Data Important for My Amazon Business?

Since no one can hit their target with their eyes closed, online sellers can’t go without credible data management systems and the powerful insights derived from them.

In terms of Amazon sales, the better your product data quality is, the better product pages tend to perform.

Not managing your product data properly can lead to unfortunate consequences, namely:

• Cart abandonments
• Poor product discoverability 
• Insufficient or excessive ad spend 
• Inability to leverage your ever-expanding Amazon data catalog

In contrast, a well-performed Amazon sales data analysis enhances the entire online business performance by driving conversions, winning the top spot in the Amazon search results, and tracking buyers’ behaviour.

How Can I Manage My Amazon Data?

Given that Google Sheets is one of the most popular applications used to create and edit business reports, there are two main methods that Amazon sellers generally use to manage their data:

1. Inputting data into the Google spreadsheets manually.
2. Using a data aggregation and data management solution integrated with their Amazon Seller Central account for the automated data collection.

Google Sheets are relatively intuitive, customizable and accessible for any online business to use, regardless of its size.

However, the biggest problem with a spreadsheet-based data catalog is its scalability. The bigger the database is, the more complex data management becomes. Eventually, automation is required to scale catalogs effectively.

Against this background, a robust data management tool like Seller Labs Data Warehouse can take all the hassle out of building reliable Amazon reports based on a scalable database.

What is Seller Labs Data Warehouse?

Seller Labs Data Warehouse is a new Seller Labs PRO tool designed for large and small Amazon sellers who lack time to create real-time reports on their own.

As the name suggests, our data management solution has much in common with how data warehouses integrate data.

As for Seller Labs Data Warehouse, it imports, centralizes, and consolidates large amounts of organized data by pulling multiple Amazon APIs from Seller Central including Advertising, FBA, and Selling Partner API.

This data management tool also collects your business data from the Seller Labs PRO database and automatically combines all your Amazon data into a spreadsheet-based or visual report.
