Why Cogent2
Retailers often rush directly to implementation, assuming Amazon Seller Central will conform to their existing ERP or WMS logic. This leads to costly rework, missed sales, and compliance risks down the line due to fundamental mismatches in operational behaviour.

Operational Intelligence
Many operational headaches on Amazon Seller Central originate from insufficient upfront solution design. We identify and mitigate these common failure points.
Impact: Lost revenue, negative seller performance metrics, FBA stockouts leading to lost buy box.
Cogent Approach: We design precise source-of-truth rules for inventory, accounting for FBA vs. FBM, reserved stock, and defining the appropriate update frequency.
Impact: Reduced conversion rates, increased customer queries, account health warnings, and reduced ASIN performance.
Cogent Approach: We architect a clear content hierarchy, establishing primary source systems for all product data and defining automated syncs for critical attributes.
Impact: FBA stockouts, increased storage fees, reduced in-stock rate, and substantial operational overhead correcting errors.
Cogent Approach: We design precise FBA inbound shipment workflows, integrating WMS data where possible and establishing strict adherence protocols for your fulfilment team.
Impact: Financial reporting inaccuracies, missed opportunities for cost optimisation, and a lack of trust in financial data.
Cogent Approach: We design robust reconciliation routines, mapping Amazon's complex fee structures to your financial system and automating data extraction for auditability.
