Owner OS for E-commerce importers
Alarms for E-commerce importers
“I find out we overpaid on freight, ran out of our best seller, or burned ad money after the month is already closed.”
You place a PO months before the stock sells, pay a forwarder to get it here, and hope the 3PL and FBA receive it on time. Margin slips in the gaps between those steps: a freight quote nobody compared, a duty line that changed, a reorder placed a few weeks too late. Every one of those signals already sits in your inbox, Seller Central, Shopify, and your books, just not in one place.
Eight alarms we build for E-commerce importers
- Freight quote swingsCompare every forwarder quote against your lane history and other forwarders before you book, so a padded ocean or air quote gets caught in time.
- Stockout before the reorder landsKnow which SKUs will run out before the next PO arrives, using real sell-through on Amazon and Shopify plus your factory lead time and transit.
- Buy Box loss or listing suppressionGet flagged when an ASIN loses the Buy Box, gets suppressed, picks up a new seller, or has stranded inventory, before days of sales slip away.
- Ad spend efficiency driftSpot campaigns, search terms, and bid rules that are quietly raising ACOS and TACOS, so ad spend goes back to what actually sells.
- Landed cost creepRebuild landed cost per unit on every PO from factory price, freight, duty, and fees, and flag when it drifts past what your pricing assumes.
- 3PL receiving delays and count gapsMatch every inbound shipment to its packing list at your 3PL and FBA, and flag slow receiving or short counts while you can still file a claim.
- Return rate spikes by SKUFlag SKUs and variants whose return rate jumps, group the return reasons, and tie the spike to a factory batch so you can act fast.
- Cash tied up in slow inventoryFind the SKUs holding your cash with weeks of supply, aged storage fees, and next PO payments in view, so you can clear them on purpose.
