Service 06 / 06
Operations and compliance
This is the half of Amazon that nobody puts on a website, and the half that decides whether the rest of it works. Stock in the right place, listings inside policy, and a clean account health record — maintained continuously, not repaired in a panic.
What is included
Everything on this list is work we perform, not a menu of upsells.
- Demand forecasting and replenishment. Unit forecasts by SKU with lead times and safety stock built in, so purchase orders are placed against a number rather than a feeling.
- FBA shipment planning. Shipment creation, box content, labelling, carrier selection, appointment booking and inbound placement decisions.
- Receiving reconciliation. Every shipment checked against what Amazon actually received, with discrepancies claimed.
- Restock limits and capacity. Allocating limited capacity to the SKUs that earn the most margin, not simply the ones that sell the most units.
- Stranded and unfulfillable inventory. Cleared weekly. Stock that cannot be bought is stock you have already paid for twice.
- Aged inventory management. Monitoring long-term storage exposure and deciding, with you, between promotion, removal and liquidation before the surcharge lands.
- FBM and Seller Fulfilled Prime. Where you fulfil yourself: handling times, shipping templates, on-time delivery rate and valid tracking rate.
- Returns and customer experience. Return reasons read every week and fed back into listings, packaging and product, rather than filed away.
- Reimbursement claims. Lost, damaged, overcharged and incorrectly-weighed inventory identified, claimed and tracked to resolution, inside Amazon's own policy windows.
- Account health and policy compliance. Order defect rate, policy violations, listing and claims wording, product safety and compliance documentation — reviewed before something ships, not after a suspension.
- Case management. Every Seller Support case logged with its ID, owner, age and status, and escalated when it stalls.
What you receive
Deliverables and cadence, written into the service agreement.
- A rolling replenishment plan you can order against
- Shipment plans created and tracked to receipt
- A weekly exceptions report: stranded, aged, at-risk
- A reimbursement log with claimed and recovered amounts
- An account health review with any risk flagged early
