Inventory Planner — FBA report analysis

Know what to reorder and what to liquidate, this week.

Connect your Amazon seller account. From your FBA inventory report you see which SKUs run out inside your lead time (with suggested quantities), which are overstocked, and which aged units are stacking storage fees and surcharges. Nothing to export.

Included in every OptimalCentral plan — part of a 30-tool suite, one subscription, from $99/mo.

What you get

Stockouts, overstock, and fees: one plan covers all three.

Running out costs the sale and the rank. Sitting on stock costs fees. The plan assigns every SKU the move it needs.

01

Reorder quantities, not vibes

Sales velocity against available plus inbound stock gives each SKU its days of cover. Reorder-now and reorder-soon SKUs get a suggested quantity that covers your lead time plus target cover.

02

Your lead times, your buffer

Set supplier lead time and target stock cover per run. A safety buffer (14 days by default, 28 for products in launch mode) accounts for how long reorders take to land.

03

Aging & fee radar

Units aged past 181 days, projected aged-inventory surcharges, and next month's estimated storage cost, per SKU and account-wide, from Amazon's own estimates.

04

Liquidation calls

Overstocked SKUs with aged units are flagged for action (price cuts, deals or removal orders) before aged-inventory surcharges eat the margin.

Connected account · Brand plan

On a connected account, hear about trouble the day it starts.

On every plan, the plan above comes from the Sync from Amazon button once your seller account is connected. On the Brand plan (and your 14-day trial) we also scan your FBA inventory daily.

05

Daily inventory alerts

An alert the day a SKU crosses into trouble: heading for a stockout, overstocked, facing aged-inventory fees, stranded, or losing sell-through week over week.

06

Changes, not reminders

A SKU overstocked for a month stays on the page, not in your inbox. You hear about it once, the day it tips over. The first scan after you connect sets the baseline, so old problems don't flood you on day one.

07

Same rules as the plan

Alerts use the planner's reorder and overstock rules, so an alert and the plan always agree on "reorder now". The planner page opens with the latest scan's current risk.

Purchase orders

From reorder point to purchase order.

Turn this week's reorders into supplier orders without retyping a SKU, then track each order until the stock reaches Amazon.

08

One draft per supplier

Tick the SKUs to reorder and get one draft purchase order per supplier. Quantities round up to each supplier's minimum order and case pack; your saved unit costs are filled in.

09

Yours to send

Download the order as Excel or print it to PDF, and send it yourself. We never contact your suppliers or create shipments for you.

10

Tracked until it lands

Mark an order as sent, or tell the planner you ordered elsewhere. The reorder flag changes to Ordered, then to In transit once a sync shows the units inbound at Amazon. If nothing is inbound by the end of your lead time, the flag turns red again. On the Brand plan you also get an email alert.

How it works

One connection. One plan. This week's moves.

1

Connect and sync

Connect your Amazon seller account once, then press Sync from Amazon. We pull your FBA Manage Inventory Health report, which carries stock, velocity, age and fee estimates. Nothing to export.

2

Get the plan

Each SKU gets velocity, days of cover, suggested reorder quantities, order-by windows, and a status: reorder now, reorder soon, healthy, overstock, no sales, or unknown when Amazon leaves a number blank in the report.

3

Act on fees

Severity-ranked findings: what to reorder this week, what to liquidate and how, and what storage fees say about the account.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Which data does the planner use?

One Amazon report: the FBA Manage Inventory Health report, pulled from Seller Central through your Amazon seller connection. It holds available and inbound stock, units shipped over the last 7, 30, 60, and 90 days, inventory age buckets, and estimated storage and aged-inventory fees. Nothing to export. The raw report is analyzed and discarded, never stored.

How are reorder quantities calculated?

Sales velocity (units shipped over the last 30 days, or the last 90 or 7 if a SKU shipped nothing in 30) against available plus inbound stock gives each SKU its days of cover. You set supplier lead time (default 30 days) and target cover (default 60 days). Reorder-now: cover at or below lead time plus safety days. Reorder-soon: cover within 30 days beyond that. Both get a suggested quantity that tops you back up to lead time plus target cover.

What does the aging and fee analysis show?

Each SKU's units aged past 181 days, the aged-inventory surcharge Amazon projects for them, and your estimated next-month storage cost. Overstocked SKUs that also carry aged units are flagged for liquidation (price cuts, deals, or removal orders) before fees stack.

Do I need to connect my Amazon account?

Yes. The planner reads your FBA inventory report through an Amazon Selling Partner API connection you authorize once and can revoke any time. It only reads that report; it never changes your account. Connecting works on every plan; each plan you build uses one run from your allowance. From the Brand plan, a daily inventory scan also alerts you the day a SKU crosses into a risk state.

How many plans do I get?

10 (Pro), 30 (Brand), or 100 (Enterprise) inventory plans per billing period. The free trial includes 1. Past plans stay viewable without using quota.

Stockouts and storage fees are both planning failures.
