Frequently Asked Questions

Addressing Performance
What kind of performance improvements can I expect from Amazon Seller Central optimisation?
Our focus is on tangible operational and commercial metrics. This can include improved Buy Box percentage, higher Inventory Performance Index (IPI) scores, reduced Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS), fewer stranded inventory incidents, and a decrease in Amazon policy violations, all contributing to better overall profitability.
How do you identify areas for optimisation within our current Seller Central setup?
We conduct a deep dive into your Seller Central account performance reports, operational workflows, and existing integrations. This diagnostic phase identifies bottlenecks, manual tasks, non-compliant practices, and data inconsistencies that are hindering performance.
Do you need access to our Seller Central account?
Yes, for a comprehensive optimisation engagement, we require appropriate user permissions to analyse current data, audit settings, and implement agreed-upon changes directly. All access is governed by strict security protocols and mutual agreements.
The Optimisation Process
What is the typical timeframe for an Amazon Seller Central optimisation project?
The timeline varies based on the scope of work and the complexity of your current setup. Quick wins can be implemented within weeks, while a full strategic roadmap with phased automation and process re-engineering might span several months. We agree on clear milestones upfront.
Will this impact our day-to-day Amazon operations?
Our approach is designed to minimise disruption. We work collaboratively with your team, implementing changes incrementally and providing clear communication. Any significant changes are scheduled to avoid peak trading periods.
How do you ensure the optimisation results are sustainable?
Sustainability is built into our process. We don't just implement; we establish robust SOPs, provide training for your team, and build reporting dashboards to ensure continuous monitoring and internal capability to maintain the optimised state.
Working with Cogent2
How does Cogent2 measure success in an optimisation engagement?
Success is measured against the specific KPIs and objectives agreed upon at the start of the project. This could include metrics like increased sales, improved profit margins, reduced operational overhead, or enhanced account health scores.
What kind of ongoing support do you offer after optimisation?
Beyond the initial project, we can provide ongoing advisory, performance monitoring, and further phases of optimisation as your Amazon channel evolves. Our goal is a long-term partnership that supports your strategic objectives.
