The expensive myths about budgets

Many teams treat budgets as a static spreadsheet. Those habits block growth and hide risks until it is too late.

  • “Set it and forget it” ignores the daily volatility of marketplace demand.
  • “More spend equals more revenue” overlooks ACOS efficiency and inventory readiness.
  • “Manual control is safer” slows reactions to spikes, letting competitors capture the moment.

How Amplasa’s pacing engine works

Amplasa continuously compares live Mercado Libre spend against your strategy so budgets stretch further without surprises.

  • Real-time monitoring tracks burn rate versus target and flags overspend risk.
  • Autopilot rules engine automatically adjusts bids and budgets based on your ACOS targets, keeping spend aligned with performance goals.
  • Autopilot rules can automatically adjust budget allocation and pause underperforming campaigns based on configurable ACOS thresholds.

Because the engine is aware of campaign objectives, it preserves profitability goals while unlocking incremental reach.

Guardrails that prevent surprises

  • Real-time alerts notify you when campaign metrics cross thresholds, so you can act before budgets are wasted.
  • ACOS threshold alerts when efficiency drifts beyond agreed limits.
  • Autopilot rules engine can automatically pause campaigns based on ACOS performance, with autopilot simulation to preview impact before applying changes.

Guardrails turn budget conversations from reactive firefighting into proactive planning.
