INTRO

Hey there Amazon sellers, Chelsea Cohen here. Thanks for stopping by to check
out our Amazon inventory management software demo.

I’m one of the founders of SoStocked.com. As you probably know, SoStocked is an
inventory management, forecasting, and tracking software. What you might not
know is that I built SoStocked to scratch my own itch. Well, it was more of a
severe headache than a simple itch.

Read More

I spent five years wrangling spreadsheets and other software that just didn’t
work well for an Amazon business. Such a nightmare. Everything was either too
cookie-cutter, too time-consuming, or too expensive. Ain’t nobody got time for
that!

I dreamed of inventory software that would be built from an Amazon seller's
perspective someday. Made by someone who was actually in the Amazon trenches
selling day-to-day. Someone who understood the nuances of FBA, warehouses,
wholesale, bundling, PAN-EU, seasonality, stock-outs, SOPs, marketing, IPI, etc.
These details matter because they create a diverse set of needs among Amazon
sellers. Experiencing the Amazon inventory pains (not just theorizing about
them) helps to tackle the problem correctly.

One of my experiences was the nightmare moment I realized too late that I was
going to stock out (enter nightmares of ridiculously priced air shipments and
lost rankings). 🤦‍♀️ The problem was that I under-ordered because my
spreadsheet wasn’t smart enough to factor “stock out days” and forecasted the
wrong order amount.

Or how about the time I over-ordered by thousands of units 😱 because the
inventory system I was using at the time didn’t accurately account for a “past
sales spikes anomaly”? My product had been mentioned on the gifts segment of a
morning news show, and that one day of sales threw off the calculation and next
year’s order was forecasted incorrectly. There I was, stuck with dead stock. It
cost me thousands in extra-storage fees, extra marketing to move the inventory,
and tied up capital that could have made money in better products.

The list goes on: over-ordering, under-ordering, ordering late, transferring
late, tracking orders/payment, juggling spreadsheets, managing bundles,
following up on POs, multiple marketplaces, and costly warehouse recounts, etc.
I was tired of stressing and guessing when it came time to forecast orders. I
needed a solution that used “good” data and not just “gut” feel—something that
could accurately and correctly track, manage, and forecast Amazon inventory.

So I rallied software programmers and 25 top Amazon sellers together to build
SoStocked.com. We curated the best of their suggestions, spreadsheets, and
systems and then spent 1.5 years turning them into a software that makes
inventory management more effortless. A software that is much smarter than a
manual spreadsheet, but also more customizable than a cookie-cutter algorithm.

ADJUSTED VELOCITY

Use SoStocked to take control of these top 10 Amazon inventory management &
forecasting pains: over-ordering, under-ordering, ordering late, transferring
late, tracking orders/payment, juggling spreadsheets, managing bundles,
following up on POs, multiple marketplaces, and avoiding costly warehouse
recounts.

 * Apart from verifying whether a stockout has occurred, you can also use
   SoStocked to look at stockout patterns and identify when your sales are
   significantly lower than the average. So if your sales are 70% less than the
   daily average for any one day, that day is going to be flagged as a potential
   stockout. This helps to catch things such as suspensions; for example, you
   have inventory in stock at Amazon, but you stopped making sales because your
   listing was shut down. You can choose to include or exclude each flagged day
   based on what is most valid and helpful to your business.
 * Similarly, you can locate sales spikes (the times when you sold higher than
   the average) and decide whether to include or exclude them from your
   forecasting data.
 * With the ability to cherry-pick the information you want to exclude from your
   forecasting, you can easily use your last year's sales data with SoStocked
   and exclude the periods where you stocked out, so you don’t repeat the same
   mistakes twice.
 * When you exclude a stockout period, SoStocked replaces it with an average of
   what you should have sold if you had not stocked out.
 * You can even use SoStocked for forecasting new launches by overriding with a
   manual velocity option.

BUFFER STOCK

Buffer stock, or safety stock, is like a false zero alert that acts as a trigger
to tell you to order before you hit a stockout. For example, if your buffer
stock is 250 units, you'll be alerted to order so that your inventory arrives
before you hit 250 units, NOT before you hit zero.

Set your buffer stocks based on the number of days or number of units. The
number of days is preferred, however, as it's going to fluctuate based on your
inventory needs for that time period.

MIN/MAX RESTOCKING

Min/Max Restocking sets a range for your high and low stock settings which makes
it extremely easy to know how much to order and by when. It is an inventory
optimization technique used in some of the most streamlined warehouses and is
great for VAs.

Just set the minimum and maximum days or units of stock for FBA and your
warehouse, and SoStocked will always help you stay within that range.

INVENTORY TIMELINE

Inventory Timeline is a game-changer because it helps you to visualize your
sales and inventory patterns over time which is vital for planning and inventory
strategy."

SIMULTANEOUS FORECASTING

Simultaneous forecasting is the forecasting of both supplier orders and
warehouse transfers at the same time. If you use a 3PL, you really need to have
2 forecasts going for every SKU at all times, or maybe even a 3rd if you can
express ship during emergencies.

With SoStocked, you can have a transfer forecast and an order forecast for each
product. Then in cases where you’re running short and need to air ship, you can
also get express lead time forecasting to figure out how much stock you need to
send by express/air versus regular shipment.

FORECAST MODELING

Forecast Modeling refers to combining your past sales history and future
marketing plans to create projected sales, testing to avoid future stockouts,
and to ensure accurate ordering. This is the core feature of the SoStocked
software because it's not just past data that you need to include in your
inventory management and your projections, you also need to include your future
marketing plans.

There are several tools inside of SoStocked that allow you to add your marketing
plans into your inventory planning.

 * Future Lightning Deals allows you to project your future inventory needs by
   setting a date or date range and the total extra number of units that you
   plan to sell within that time frame. It can also be used for things like
   email marketing.
 * Seasonal Sales Spikes allow you to add a boost to a specific period of time,
   by just setting the date range, giving the spike a name, and specifying a
   percentage. You can also add seasonal depressions by just putting the
   percentage in negative and it will show you the new velocity based on that
   negative percentage. This feature can be applied to one SKU at a time or
   across your entire catalog.
 * Additional Sales Growth can also be added to an individual SKU or to your
   entire catalog.

SYNC TO SCALE

Currently, the biggest mistake that Amazon sellers tend to make is marketing
without considering the impact on inventory.

“A good marketing plan can turn bad fast when it is so successful that it causes
you to stockout.”

That's why putting marketing plans into your inventory planning is extremely
important because when you're out of inventory, you're out of business and that
can negatively impact your cash flow.

This is where our Sync to Scale philosophy comes in as it allows you to factor
in your marketing plans, put them into your inventory planning which then moves
along into your cash flows, thereby making it a cohesive machine that allows you
to scale a lot faster.

IPI RESTOCK LIMITS

In light of the new changes that have gone on with the Inventory Performance
Index and any limitations that Amazon might have put on your inventory, we’ve
added settings in SoStocked that allow you to use your restock limit as the max
limit for sending into Amazon.


PURCHASE ORDERS

With SoStocked, you can also create purchase orders and send them directly to
your supplier right from within the software. This allows you to easily account
for things like what's in production, what's in route, and what’s arriving to
your warehouse.

KPI DASHBOARDS

SoStocked also has a variety of dashboards that tell you what you have, where
it's at, where your inbound shipments are, what inventory you have on hand, any
future stock outs that might be occurring; and also the ability to filter all of
your data, add any columns that you need in each individual report, move these
columns around, and save these as individual new dashboards so that every piece
of information that you need is simply a few clicks away.

WHY WE CREATED SOSTOCKED

clunky and prone to human error. And other software's algorithms couldn't be
fine-tuned to fit our business.
