Fantastic data share for Amazon agencies

“Nova has become a core part of how we run our Amazon agency. Data Share puts clean, structured Amazon data straight into our own stack, so we no longer maintain those pipelines ourselves. The hourly updates mean we spot changes during the day instead of managing accounts on yesterday's data.”

The P&L view captures everything Amazon-related

“The P&L view is the big one. It captures everything Amazon-related with the granularity to track down every unexpected expense, giving me a real profit statement I can run the business off of. No more guessing margins or waiting for end-of-month reconciliation.”

Exactly the kind of tool e-commerce needed

“Nova is exactly the kind of tool the e-commerce industry has needed for a while. Fast-moving, responsive, and adding value to every Amazon business at every turn. The team is always open to hearing feedback and new ideas.”

Just go for it. You won't regret it

“The Nova team has built something truly special. The days of clunky Looker Studio dashboards are over. They are communicative and collaborative, and work hard to make the platform as helpful as possible for their users.”

Nova is great

“Nova keeps us up to date across all of our client accounts and provides a unique set of analytics. The data is live, which lets us make quick decisions faster than with other tools. The events feature is excellent for logging listing changes and running lift tests.”

Replaced hours of reporting with one dashboard

“I manage multiple brands and Cockpit, P&L and Day-to-Day are now part of my daily workflow. What used to take hours across multiple tools I now see in one place. Antoine and Maxime are clearly building this with real seller challenges in mind, and they listen.”

Highly recommended

“Running an agency that manages a large portfolio of Amazon brands, what we value most is the people. Nova has been a real partner from day one, adapting to how we work. Multi-store management sits in one clean place and the team actually listens to feedback.”

Nova has made tracking our Amazon profit easier

“Nova has made tracking our Amazon profit and performance so much easier. The near real-time data updates mean we're not stuck working off yesterday's numbers, and it's saved us a lot of manual spreadsheet work. Support has been quick and helpful whenever we've had questions.”

Amazon data refresh questions

Refresh times, history depth and Amazon's own delays.

It depends on the source. Orders stream in about 20 seconds. Orders with their confirmed price, fees and refunds refresh every hour, ad spend every 2 hours, inventory every 8 hours, and traffic, reviews and Search Query Performance as soon as Amazon publishes them.
Yes. Amazon sends each order about 6 seconds after it is placed, and Nova's Live page shows it about 20 seconds after the order is placed, with units and sales. Sales use your usual price until Amazon's order report confirms the exact amount.
Up to 2 years for orders, fees, refunds, returns and reviews, 15 months for PPC, 13 months for Search Query Performance, and 12 months for traffic, storage fees and Subscribe & Save. Stock, offers and Best Sellers Rank start the day you connect.
Amazon's Advertising API only serves about 60 days of most reports. Nova goes back 15 months with an in-house import of your advertising history, so year over year PPC comparisons hold.
Amazon settles sessions and page views about two days after the fact. Nova reads them every day and shows the newest complete day, so a partial day never looks like a drop.
Amazon publishes review counts four to five days late. Nova leaves those days empty instead of showing zero, and fills them in as soon as Amazon publishes them.
Your AI assistant reads the same source tables as the Nova app, refreshed on the same schedule. In Data Sharing, orders and units also arrive in real time, and the other tables keep their report schedule. Streamed PPC data is coming to the app, the MCP and Data Sharing next.
