"Granular data and analytics of your Ecommerce business is important for brands,but getting access to real-time data on your competitors' sales,promotions,and orders is a game-changer," said Paul Srivorakul,Group CEO of aCommerce. "Providing brands with end-to-end data is important in optimizing their Ecommerce business and automating processes that help save costs and grow sales. For example,when a particular brand or product starts selling well,our system immediately alerts marketing to increase advertising spend,then triggers customer service to increase support,then contacts the supplier to place a larger order,and alerts logistics to prepare for an increase in orders," he added.
