Amazon Operations & FBA
FBA routing, prep compliance, replenishment and the operational discipline that keeps stock available without funding dead inventory.
What actually goes wrong
Stock-outs reset ranking. Overstock funds Amazon's warehouse. Most operations swing between the two because replenishment is driven by gut feel.
Why this matters. Availability is a ranking input. Treat it as a growth lever, not a logistics chore.

Ranking held through demand spikes.
Less dead stock
Storage fees stop funding slow movers.
Cleaner inbound
Fewer receive errors and prep chargebacks.
Right channel per SKU

We manage the Amazon-side operation and the instructions your 3PL or warehouse works to. We do not own warehouses, which means we have no incentive to route volume anywhere except where the margin is best.
