Amazon Vendor Analysis

Overview

Vendor Analysis

On the Vendor Analysis page, you can perform time series comparisons for different metrics at different levels.

You can use this module to answer the following questions, among others:

  • Which Child ASINs had the highest absolute sales increases/decreases this month compared to the previous month?
  • Which brands had a higher/lower contribution margin this month than last year?
  • In relative terms, which marketplaces have gained/lost the most this year?

Period comparison (total)

Vendor Analysis

The chart shows the time course of a selected KPI within a certain period. In the filter settings, you can change the critical figure under KPI.

In the table, you can compare the following key figures with the values from the previous period:

  • Shipped COGS: CoGS is the cost of shipped goods incurred by Amazon when purchasing the item from the Vendor.
  • Shipped revenues: The Shipped Revenue is the revenue that Amazon makes with your products. It is based on Amazon's selling price to the customer, and the time the product was shipped to the customer.
  • Shipped units: The units shipped are the number of product units shipped to Amazon customers.
  • Customer returns: Goods returned by customers are the number of units produced by customers.

In the chart and the table, we show the current value and the value of the previous period. In addition, you can see the absolute and relative changes in the values.
