Executive Summary

Staying on top of analytics is crucial for achieving success on Amazon. Having the most up-to-date information and insights allows you to make informed decisions that maximize profitability. Amazon has unlocked the gates to a new world of secure and compliant third-party apps with their launch of Emerald Apps. Now, sellers can access powerful analytical tools directly through Amazon Seller Central. These apps provide timely personalized notifications, allowing sellers to react much quicker than before.

Personalized Notifications

Monitoring inventory analytics, performance metrics, sales figures, and repricing data is essential because it helps you manage operations. Keeping up with every statistic can be overwhelming. Even if you check the information daily, chances are it is already outdated!

Emerald apps provide customized real-time insights, empowering you to make well-informed decisions. Get alerted whenever a sale is made or if inventory reaches a specific threshold. Select your preferred parameters and create custom notifications. Changes in prices, inventory, buy box position, and other statistical information can be tracked through these apps. As soon as your defined requirements are satisfied, these apps notify you, allowing you to modify your operational strategy. Hence, Emerald Apps are the future!

Third-Party Solutions

Amazon verifies all the third-party apps on the seller central app recommendation tab. Therefore, security is not an issue, and sellers only need to check the functionality and features of apps. BuyBoxBuddy, InventoryLab, Zapier, and Seller Siren are some of the most popular apps. However, there are more apps in the recommendation tab on seller central. We highly advise you to research every app before using it.

BuyBoxBuddy

BuyBoxBuddy is an Emerald app designed to provide inventory and pricing analytics. Its intelligent pricing algorithms and custom notifications help sellers to overtake their competitors. The application determines the best price for any product and helps to win the buy box. Moreover, it also provides an inventory breakdown and suggests options to deal with inventory issues. You can also pre-set pricing strategies that automatically kick in when competitors change their prices. Down-to-the-minute responses and updates provide firm control over business performance. It is the perfect solution for an Amazon seller wanting to monitor inventory and pricing analytics.

BuyBoxBuddy has partnered with Amazon to bring you a new and improved way of managing your business. Thanks to this beta program, we’re offering personalized notifications that optimize the process.

InventoryLab

InventoryLab is an all-in-one solution for Amazon FBA sellers. It helps in everything from product research to accounting, making it easy to keep track of analytics while running your business. They offer a 30-day trial period, and we suggest you try out their solution. All you need to do is to enable the app from the emerald program tab. After that, you will receive notifications directly in the Amazon Seller Central tab. Not only will this software help you run your business, but it will also suggest methods to improve your performance. 

In addition to analytical monitoring, InventoryLab also helps you with administrative tasks. You can create custom accounting reports and print shipping labels with this tool. It is more diverse and perfect for Amazon FBA sellers managing everything themselves. In comparison to BuyBoxBuddy, it is less analytical but more administrative. Choose the tool that fits your needs!

What Metrics Matter Most to You?

Emerald apps provide a ton of statistical information but do not cover every analytical aspect. There are still several statistics that are not included in these apps. Hence, you cannot get a notification about every statistic. Checking analytics is still necessary, and decision-making still depends on sellers. It shows that apps cannot replace the critical decisions made by sellers. Besides inventory, repricing, and sales, apps do not cover many other metrics. What metrics would you like to see in the future? Do you want Emerald apps to cover anything else? Let us know in the comments.

Benefits of Personalized Notifications

No Bottlenecks

With personalized notifications, you can stay ahead of the competition and seize every opportunity for success. React quickly to new developments in the marketplace with up-to-date statistical updates. Even a few seconds count when it comes to nabbing Amazon’s buy box. There are no bottlenecks, and every action depends on statistics. This added layer of agility helps businesses act with real-time precision.

Execution of Pre-Set Strategies

Emerald apps provide an effortless way to maximize the success of your Amazon strategies. Utilize these valuable tools by setting custom execution points for any pre-set Amazon strategy, allowing you to make adjustments as soon as sales reach certain thresholds. You no longer need to execute strategies the old way. Automation and quick reaction will maximize the chances of strategic success. Let Emerald apps handle your Amazon strategies!

Convenient Amazon Account Management

Amazon account management is a tricky task; that is why sellers outsource management to service providers. Emerald apps help in account management, providing essential statistical updates. Without automation, Amazon account management becomes a manual process. Automation allows account managers to focus on other managerial tasks. These innovative apps ensure that sellers remain updated without sacrificing crucial hours of the day.

Conclusion

Emerald apps are transforming the way Amazon sellers take control of their online business. These powerful tools offer personalized notifications and make it easier to manage inventory, adjust prices, and review reports – streamlining an otherwise complex process. Countless benefits await sellers who embrace this game-changing technology; it makes the entire process smoother with increased convenience.
