The situation
The operating challenge behind the growth opportunity
- Core issue: Despite consistent investment in Amazon advertising, performance had plateaued.
Campaigns were active, but there was no unified system connecting data, decisions, and execution.
- Listings were not fully optimized to support ranking and conversion
- Organic and paid strategies were not aligned
- Reporting was fragmented, limiting real-time decision making
- Revenue leakage from reimbursements was not addressed
Growth required more spend, not better performance
Eva implemented a Commerce Intelligence System designed to connect every layer of growth into one continuous loop
