About Zamaz
Zamaz is a technology driven e-commerce business that
originates, acquires or licenses, operates and scales small and
medium-sized brands with category-winning products on global
marketplaces. With ever prolific customer data sources, the advent
of turnkey e-commerce website platforms, such as Shopify, and a
thriving ecosystem of third-party software integrators, the options
available to launch and build brands that can be marketed, sold,
and shipped online quickly and globally with limited risk have
never been more compelling. Such marketplaces, led by Amazon and
eBay, also provide connection to millions of consumers, and have
become a first-choice route-to-market for a generation of micro and
small and medium-sized enterprise businesses.
Zamaz mines and analyses data from such online retail technology
platforms which provide significant insights into consumer shopping
behaviour and trends and enable the business to deploy, market and
sell an optimised portfolio of brands, products, packs and prices
aligned with active, real-time consumer needs and demands
principally on UK and EU Amazon marketplaces.
