"Granular data and analytics of your Ecommerce business is important for brands, but getting access to real-time data on your competitors' sales, promotions, and orders is a game-changer," said Paul Srivorakul, Group CEO of aCommerce. "Providing brands with end-to-end data is important in optimizing their Ecommerce business and automating processes that help save costs and grow sales. For example, when a particular brand or product starts selling well, our system immediately alerts marketing to increase advertising spend, then triggers customer service to increase support, then contacts the supplier to place a larger order, and alerts logistics to prepare for an increase in orders," he added.
