Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) can be a highly effective ad platform, but it’s cumbersome and inefficient to make optimizations or access basic reports. Active management of AMS campaigns can be extremely time-consuming in itself, which combined with the platform interface’s singular view of performance – the Lifetime date range – can lead to both a lot of wasted time and less-than-optimal performance.
That’s why we developed a tool suite specifically for AMS management, CAPxAMS.
The trial version of CAPxAMS allows you to analyze Sponsored Products campaigns with ease & impressive speed. Some benefits include:
- Custom Date Ranges
- Intuitive Filtering
- Quick Trend Analysis
Custom Date Ranges
One of the main challenges with AMS is around basic reporting. We made CAPxAMS easy for you and your team to view how your campaigns are performing across different periods of time. Set your own date ranges in CAPxAMS to discover insights into how things are changing week-to-week or day-to-day for each Sponsored Products campaign.
Intuitive Filtering
We focused on ease-of-use in CAPxAMS. One of the key drivers is being able to filter across campaigns and keywords using all kinds of fields and metrics that matter to your business goals and your optimization strategy.
With CAPxAMS filters, you can search text, select options, and create custom ranges for data based on what’s currently available on the page. You can filter your data using the sliders. Each slider has 2 draggable dials – an upper (right) and lower (left). By default, the sliders represent the range of your data. When you hover over it, you can see the highest and lowest values for the date range and view selected.
You can even Save your filters for easy access next time you log in.
Quick Trend Analysis
We’ve designed CAPxAMS to include an executive dashboard that displays high-level account performance. AMS managers and Sales reps can use this to get a pulse on overall sales performance.
