Amazon Logistics & Inventory Planning

About the service

Our team guides you through creating and sending shipments to Amazon’s warehouses, tracking those shipments, and setting up systems to replenish inventory at the right times. In short, we handle the behind-the-scenes supply chain work so you never have to worry about inventory headaches on Amazon.

We are also supporting you with your FBM set-up, ensuring we are compliant with strict Amazon policy and don't face issues with account due to FBM complexities or incorrect set-up.

Amazon logistics and inventory planning is relevant if:

  • You frequently run out of stock or alternatively hold too much inventory that doesn’t sell.
  • You’re unsure how to interpret Amazon’s restock recommendations or how to forecast future demand.
  • Creating and managing FBA shipments (labeling, routing, tracking) is time-consuming or error-prone for you.
  • Your inbound shipments to Amazon often get delayed or stranded, and it’s impacting your sales.
  • You’re facing Amazon restock limit challenges or low Inventory Performance Index (IPI) scores due to inventory mismanagement.
  • You sell on multiple Amazon marketplaces and struggle to plan inventory for each region.

Our process

Our approach to Amazon logistics is both technical and hands-on, covering every step from forecasting to delivery:

1

Demand forecasting

We analyze your sales history, current trends, and upcoming events (promotions, seasonality) to predict future sales. Using this data, we calculate how much stock you’ll need for the next 30, 60, 90 days, etc. This prevents guesswork and ensures you don’t overstock or understock.

2

Replenishment planning

Based on the forecasts, we create a reorder schedule. We account for supplier lead times and Amazon check-in times, setting reorder points so inventory arrives before you run out. Our replenishment system might include safety stock levels and automated alerts when it’s time to reorder.

3

FBA shipment guidance

We handle the creation of FBA shipments in your Seller Central (or guide your team through it). This includes optimizing shipment plans (which fulfillment centers to send to), printing Amazon-compliant labels, and arranging pickup or delivery to Amazon’s warehouses. We ensure shipments are prepped according to Amazon’s requirements to avoid delays at the warehouse.

4

Shipment tracking & issue resolution

Once shipments are sent, we monitor them until Amazon checks them in. If any shipment becomes delayed or units seem lost, we follow up with Amazon support to investigate and reconcile issues. You’ll always know where your inventory is in the supply chain.

5

Inventory performance optimization

We continuously monitor metrics like sell-through rate and IPI. If IPI is low or storage limits are tight, we adjust the plan (e.g. run promotions to clear excess stock, or throttle ads if stock is too low) to improve inventory health. We aim to keep your IPI high so you have maximum storage and avoid overage fees.

6

Multi-market coordination

For brands selling in multiple countries, we coordinate inventory distribution globally. We can help set up programs like Amazon’s Pan-EU FBA or NARF (Remote Fulfillment) if appropriate, or simply plan separate stock for each marketplace, all using our central forecasting model.
