Why integrate Amazon Vendor Central to Amazon Redshift

On Amazon vendor central, a supplier/vendor can check his orders, product returns, inventory, advertisements, and more.  However, once he sells his products on Amazon, the website controls the pricing besides other operations. And in case the vendor fails to follow specific Amazon’s logistical guidelines, then Amazon can take up a share of the vendor’s profits. So, vendors must maintain their stock levels, fulfill the orders quickly and keep track of product returns.  Suppose a large section of customers returns a specific product, Amazon will give warnings or discontinue their association with the vendor in such a case.

Therefore, a vendor/supplier must pull all these data into a data warehouse like Redshift for deeper analysis.  Vendors can have all their data consolidated in the data warehouse and analyze every category separately. Especially the product returns and inventory stock. However, manual integration is not recommended as it will be highly time-consuming and inaccurate. Therefore, Daton, an ETL tool, can help vendors seamlessly pull their data to the data warehouse for calculation and deeper analysis to optimize business performance.
