Looker BI + Amazon Merchant Services Automated Data Integration

Looker Amazon Seller Central

We are excited to announce Looker users can now leverage our Amazon Seller Central MWS e-commerce data integration. The Openbridge MWS data integration is a code-free, fully automated data integration that unlocks critical seller central performance data within the Looker platform

Why Looker users want to tap into Amazon MWS data

How are the leading Amazon sellers supercharging sales? They tap into performance data from a data source called Amazon Merchant Services (MWS).

These “pro” sellers recognize data is the secret to unlocking e-commerce insights. They connect to Amazon MWS for this data. These pros know when customers may be more likely to purchase which means they can optimize ad spend, inform inventory management decisions, target special offers, promotions, and other tactics. Email marketing, customer service, user experience, conversion rates, cross-selling…all get a boost when using your Amazon MWS data to optimize your e-commerce marketing strategy.

Using Amazon MWS data reduces uncertainty in efforts to drive revenue and profitability. Not using data means greater difficulty allocating products across sales channels, including non-Amazon sales channels, to meet customer needs. Without the data, it is harder to boost sales by attracting potential customers and more difficult to foster loyal customers. This leads to missed opportunities understanding purchase frequency, recency and spending levels of customers.

Sudden changes in demand created in by an ever-changing and highly competitive Amazon Marketplace requires a data-driven solution. Our fully automated, code-free pipeline service delivers your MWS data to a private cloud data warehouse or data lake. This is just the type of automation your analysts and data scientists are looking for, especially when paired with a business intelligence platform like Looker!

Data Lake Icon: Visual Reference

Image
Data Lake Icon If you were looking for some data lake icons or data lake logos, our creative team created a few for Openbridge. Data Lake Icons In terms of consistent visual representations of a data lake, we were not happy with what was available. Rather than create a unique AWS data lake icon or an Azure data lake icon, we wanted these to apply generally across all platforms. As a result, we created a set of icons that reflect a data lake conceptually. We included a modified icon that reflects our data lake formation process: data lake logo Data Lake Icons Use Cases The following are some examples of how the icons are used Openbridge : Using the icon in animation in a data lake introduction visual block Using the icon in the “ what is a data lake ” page header Using the icon in the “ why data lake ?” graphic Using the task icon to describe formation & architecting data lakes Looking for data lake providers or a data lake roadmap?

Why Timeszones Cause Amazon Seller Central Confusion

Image
Timezones are a confusing topic when it comes to a global marketplace like Amazon. For example, a customer in New York places an order on March 11, 2021, at 1 AM (EST), but it is March 10, 2021, at 10 PM (PST) in Seattle. What when did the order occur? March 11th or March 10th? Another wrinkle is that Amazon defaults to using a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standard in its systems. In our example above, the timestamp of the order would be March 11th, 2021, at 8 AM! Seller Central User Interface So, where does a chunk of the confusion arise? Amazon Seller Central. The Seller Central interface displays information in the Pacific timezone (PST). However, Amazon stores information in its systems using UTC. Per Amazon: “Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) formats date- and time-related data similar to the RFC 3339 standard, which defines a subset profile of ISO 8601 for use in Internet protocols and standards. This section will clarify just how you should format and use d

PrestoDB vs PrestoSQL & the new Presto Foundation

Image
PrestoDB Last year we posted an introduction article on Presto . So what is new in the Presto world since then? A ton! PrestoDB moves to the Linux Foundation In September 2019, the official PrestoDB Foundation was started by Facebook, Uber, Twitter, and Alibaba. A formal, official foundation is what was needed for the Presto ecosystem to prosper. The formation and transition to a formal foundation under the Linux Foundation’s auspices was a significant first step to deal with confusion in the community. Kudos to Facebook, Uber, Twitter, and others in making this a reality. Having open, shared, and community-driven organization is critical to future success Presto. You can read more about these principles and roadmaps  here . Revisiting PrestoDB vs. PrestoSQL Why is a formal, independent foundation necessary? Presto Foundation established a set of much-needed guiding principles for the community. In the post last year, we highlighted some confusion about the two principle Pr
