Ever wondered how Amazon offers the Earth’s biggest selection and still manages to offer lower prices every day to their customers? Their retail business teams work with a massive array of vendors and business financial performance metrics to expand selection and drive costs lower. Given the rapid growth of our business, this requires their category leaders, financial analysts, site merchandisers, and vendor managers to quickly analyze vendors, categories, and brands, diving deep into data showing business efficiency down to the unit sale level. The technology that enables this has huge visibility and impact and is critical to Amazon’s continued profitability and growth.
