The Fivetran Problem for Amazon Data

Fivetran is the pipe. You still need a warehouse, modeling and a BI tool before anyone sees an Amazon P&L. Here is what that adds up to.

01

Raw tables, not a P&L

The Selling Partner and Ads connectors land Amazon reports in your warehouse as raw tables. Turning them into COGS-aware profit per SKU is modeling work you own.

02

Four Tools, Not One

Fivetran is just the pipe. You still need a warehouse, dbt for modeling, and a BI tool like Looker or Tableau. That's four subscriptions before anyone sees a dashboard.

03

Costs stack up beyond the pipe

Fivetran bills on monthly active rows, and the warehouse, the BI licences and the engineering time all sit on top. Whatever the pipeline quote says, the stack costs more than that line.

04

Weeks Before First Insight

Raw tables require dbt modeling, dashboard building, and QA before your first insight. That's 4-12 weeks of work. Nova gives you dashboards in minutes.

One app instead of four

No warehouse, no modeling layer, no BI licence for your Amazon P&L. Your own invoices will tell you what that is worth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform

For Amazon data, yes. Nova replaces the entire Fivetran + warehouse + dbt + BI tool stack with a single in-browser app. If you use Fivetran for Google Ads, Shopify, or Salesforce, keep it for those. Most customers use Nova for Amazon and Fivetran for everything else.
Nova charges a flat rate per Amazon seller account starting at $29/mo, dashboards included. Fivetran bills on consumption (monthly active rows) and sits on top of a warehouse and a BI tool you pay for separately, so the totals depend on your volume and stack. Compare Nova's flat rate against your own Fivetran, warehouse and BI invoices.
No. Nova is a browser-based app. Connect your Amazon accounts via OAuth, and your dashboards are ready within minutes. No warehouse, no dbt, no BI tool to configure.
Yes. While Nova's core product is the in-browser analytics app, you can export data in CSV format or through our data delivery service for teams that also maintain a warehouse.
Minutes. Connect your Amazon accounts, and your dashboards populate immediately. Historical backfill completes within 24-48 hours.
Fivetran's Amazon Selling Partner and Amazon Ads connectors do sync Amazon data, including orders, settlement, FBA fee and returns reports, into your warehouse as raw tables. What they do not ship is the modeling on top: COGS per SKU, fee classification into a P&L, contribution margin, and dashboards. That modeling work is yours to build. Nova ships it ready to use.
