Amazon FBA Inventory Management Software De-Risks Multichannel Growth


Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inventory management becomes challenging as order volumes grow, especially for multichannel sellers. Inventory management software (IMS) helps you avoid stockouts and future-proof operations.

Spreadsheets and disconnected systems can’t scale


Manually checking your FBA inventory and deciding how much stock to send takes a great deal of time. Add multichannel sales, and it becomes a logistics nightmare to keep the right amounts in stock.

Stockouts and overpaying for storage hurt margins


You can’t sell what you don’t have in the FBA warehouse. Yet if you overstock, Amazon storage fees add up. Without accurate forecasting, it’s hard to determine timing and how much to send.

Eliminate stockouts and lost sales


Accurately forecast demand, plan the right inventory per location, and automatically replenish your FBA inventory when stock runs low.

Stop overpaying for Amazon storage fees


Identify slow-moving inventory and adjust your purchasing strategy. Remove FBA stock that isn’t selling and list it on other channels.

Easily create and prep FBA shipments


Create transfer orders with one click. Speed up transfer picks with a barcode scanner. Automate FBA labeling and instant status updates.

“Inventory levels are adjusted as soon as product is received, and as soon as it's picked for an order. I can see what's on hand, what's on order, and even how many days' worth of product I have. Stock levels take BOMs into account. That's huge.”
