Reason Automation (reasonautomation.com) is a data processing & automation start-up specializing in Amazon analytics and reporting. 

We understand all facets of enterprise e-commerce data—from which KPIs matter, to building reliable data pipelines, to structuring that data for analysis. Our team ran weekly business reviews and deep dives for some of Earth’s largest consumer brands.
