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.”

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.”

Amazon advertising analytics questions

Break-even ACOS, wasted spend, and what Nova does with your ads data.

It depends on the job. Bid automation tools change bids to hit a target ACOS. Nova shows whether each campaign, search term and product makes money after Amazon fees and cost of goods, so you know which target to set in the first place.
Your profit margin before advertising, as a share of sales. Below it, an ad sale still makes money; above it, each ad sale loses money. Nova calculates it per campaign, target and product from your fees, refunds and cost of goods.
ACOS divides ad spend by ad-attributed sales. TACOS divides ad spend by total sales, organic included. Nova shows both per SKU, so you can see when ads grow sales and when they only replace organic ones.
Open the search terms view, sort by spend and look for terms with clicks and no sales. Nova shows the target that triggered each term, its match type and whether it is already negated, so the next negative keyword is one click away in Amazon Ads.
Yes. The Ads products view shows spend, sales, ACOS, break-even ACOS and profit per child ASIN. The Cockpit puts PPC sales, PPC spend and TACOS next to organic sales and net profit for every SKU.
Not today. Nova reads your Amazon Ads data and changes nothing in your account. Managing bids and campaigns from your AI assistant is coming soon.
Yes. Nova's MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini your campaigns, targets, search terms, placements and products with break-even ACOS and profit after ads, across 23 Amazon marketplaces.
