The challenge

Many dashboards, but no clear answer

Separate data sources, different time periods and changing definitions make performance difficult to assess. Teams spend time reporting without knowing which deviation deserves attention first.

Our approach

One consistent KPI framework

We define metrics, sources, periods and ownership unambiguously. Focused monitoring highlights trends and anomalies and connects them to practical review and decision routines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which KPIs belong in Amazon controlling?

The selection depends on the objective. Common metrics include spend, CPC, conversion, ACoS, TACoS and available Vendor signals such as Shipped Revenue and Shipped COGS.

How often should KPIs be reviewed?

Operational warnings may be monitored frequently, while strategic trends need longer periods. Cadence depends on volume, risk and decision speed.

What is a good TACoS?

There is no universal value. A suitable range depends on margin, growth stage, category, organic contribution and portfolio objective.

Does a dashboard replace analysis?

No. A dashboard organizes signals, but root-cause analysis, context and decisions are still essential.
