Impact: Lost sales from unavailable inventory, capital tied up in excess stock, increased operational costs from storage fees and expedited shipping.
Cogent Approach: Provide practical, hands-on training on FBA inventory workflows, including shipment planning, reconciliation, and managing aged inventory. Establish clear standard operating procedures (SOPs) for inventory updates within Seller Central and wider systems.
