What do you resell on Amazon and what kind of automation tools are you looking for?

We run a startup that helps brands to automate their ecommerce and we are focusing on Amazon. The challenge here is that for automation/AI we need a sizeable data and it's hard to get revenue with bad forecasts.

We have been on this for 2 years and our forecasting is improving along with revenues. You can drop me an email if you would like to chat further.

Hi Ganesh, I couldn't find a direct email from your profile.

We resell name brands on Amazon, we work with brands to resell their products on Amazon. One of the most often request is MAP violator takedowns, we need a way to monitor brand's listings on Amazon to find people who violate MAP pricing.

Another request is sales opportunity. Like what listings could use improvement, and what listings can use more adspend. With Amazon, you can reverse engineer a lot of this stuff, it's presenting it to the brand in a seamless manner that's the hard part. I'd be happy to discuss more. You can get my email in my profile.

Indeed we can use "reverse engineer" or ML models to get more ideas. I wrote about using Deep Learning to predict sales here: https://towardsdatascience.com/predicting-amazon-sales-using...

We work with sellers in a slightly different way: We are more focused on best geography and time to sell a product. In essence we predict how much you will sell in future and in what locations. I will drop you an email and we can talk further.
