Operational disruptions on Amazon are frequently symptoms of underlying project failures. We diagnose these patterns to put your marketplace strategy back on track.

ASIN Merging Disaster

Symptoms

  • Product pages showing incorrect content or reviews
  • Lost sales due to merged ASINs pointing to wrong stock
  • Customer complaints about product discrepancies

Root Causes

  • Poor product data governance upstream
  • Lack of monitoring for ASIN changes
  • Reliance on manual Seller Central updates
Amazon Seller CentralERPPIM

Impact: Significant revenue loss and brand damage due to incorrect product listings and customer confusion. The team papers over it until peak.

Cogent Approach: We audit data sources and synchronisation methods to ensure ASINs are correctly structured and protected. We implement proactive monitoring for marketplace content changes.

Stranded Inventory Black Hole

Symptoms

  • FBA inventory showing as 'stranded' or 'unfulfillable'
  • Stock visible in ERP but not purchasable on Amazon
  • High carrying costs for inaccessible FBA stock

Root Causes

  • Mismatch between product identification (SKU, UPC, EAN) in ERP and Amazon
  • Improper FBA shipment plans and labelling
  • Unresolved Seller Central case logs
Amazon Seller CentralERPWMS

Impact: Crippling cash flow impact from unavailable FBA stock and wasted inventory costs. This breaks first during growth.

Cogent Approach: Our consultants analyse the end-to-end inventory journey from ERP to FBA. We identify data discrepancies and refine FBA shipment processes and reconciliation protocols.

PPC Overspend Spiral

Symptoms

  • High Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS) with low ROAS
  • Campaigns driving irrelevant traffic
  • Budget disappearing without conversion

Root Causes

  • Broad match keyword reliance without negative keywords
  • Lack of routine performance review and optimisation
  • Disconnected product availability from ad spend
Amazon AdsAmazon Seller CentralBI Tools

Impact: Direct drain on profitability and eroded marketing budget. Can scale in an uncontrolled environment.

Cogent Approach: We conduct a granular audit of Amazon Advertising campaign structures, keyword targeting, and bidding strategies. We integrate ad spend data with real-time inventory and sales to optimise budget allocation.

Cascading FBA Shipment Errors

Symptoms

  • Frequent FBA receiving bans or penalties
  • Shipments routinely rejected or delayed at Amazon FCs
  • Increased manual effort to resolve FBA discrepancies

Root Causes

  • Inconsistent barcode labelling at source
  • Incorrect box content information
  • Lack of process adherence for FBA compliance
Amazon Seller CentralWMSERP

Impact: Severe operational bottlenecks, compliance risks, and potential account health degradation leading to sales disruption.

Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions About Project Rescue

Project Diagnosis
How quickly can you assess our stalled Amazon Seller Central project?
Our initial assessment typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity and available documentation. We prioritise rapid diagnosis to limit further commercial impact and identify immediate stabilisation points.
What kind of projects do you rescue?
We intervene in a range of Amazon Seller Central projects, including new FBA launches, complex marketplace integrations (ERP, WMS, PIM), advertising strategy overhauls, and significant data migration efforts that have stalled or failed.
What are the common signs an Amazon Seller Central project needs rescuing?
Key indicators include missed deadlines, budget overruns, recurring data errors, lack of clear ownership, blame culture, poor communication across teams, and a direct impact on Amazon metrics like account health or IPI score.
Recovery & Future State
How do you ensure the project doesn't fail again?
Beyond immediate fixes, we address root causes, implement robust governance, introduce clear KPIs, and often integrate advanced monitoring with CogentAI to provide early warning of future deviations. Our aim is to hand over a resilient system.
Will we need to replace our existing team or vendors?
Not necessarily. We assess the current team and vendor capabilities fairly. Our focus is on identifying gaps, defining clear responsibilities, and often upskilling existing resources. Replacement is a last resort, not a first step.
What is the typical duration of a project rescue engagement?
The duration varies significantly based on the project's health and complexity. Stabilisation might take weeks, while a full rebuild and handover could span several months. We agree on clear milestones and exit criteria from the outset.
