Amazon agencies have long faced and managed the complexities of managing thousands of SKUs and multiple clients. I believe that the need for effective account monitoring tools has never been greater. Amazon has become more complicated, added more rules and made more changes that could negatively impact sellers. Traditional systems, while useful for individual sellers, often fall short at the agency level. Suppressed listings, orphaned ASINs (and reviews), shifts in review sentiment can erode client trust and impact profitability if not addressed promptly. Thankfully, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how agencies tackle these challenges.
Simon Ellicott recently highlighted this shift in his insightful post, “ACCOUNT MONITORING: Why AI Driven Solutions are the Future for Amazon Agencies in 2025.” Simon underscores the pressing need for AI-driven tools tailored to agency-specific needs, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize account monitoring. His perspective perfectly aligns with why Marc Pfeiffer and I created Catalog Defender: to provide Amazon agencies with a simple, intelligent solution designed to be scaled to thousands of ASINs and brands. The intention is to streamline the detection and notification system to allow agencies to become proactive in the management of their client’s brands.
Traditional account monitoring solutions often fall into two categories:
For agencies managing multiple clients, these limitations result in inefficiencies and the risk of clients noticing problems before the agency does. As Simon aptly put it, this gap can undermine an agency’s value proposition.
AI offers a smarter, scalable approach to account monitoring. Here’s how:
When Marc and I developed Catalog Defender, we had one goal: to empower Amazon agencies with an AI-driven tool built for their unique challenges. Unlike traditional systems, Catalog Defender scales seamlessly across multiple accounts, providing tailored alerts and actionable insights. Our focus on proactive management ensures that agencies are always one step ahead, delivering exceptional service to their clients.
AI is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a necessity for Amazon agencies striving to stay competitive in 2025 and beyond. As Simon Ellicott pointed out, the shift toward AI-driven account monitoring is fueled by the need for efficiency and risk mitigation. Catalog Defender embodies this transformation, offering a powerful solution to the challenges agencies face today.
