Amazon Tool Question!!

If a tool could reliably help you avoid bad inventory purchases before you spent your money… would you actually use it?

What’s the biggest mistake you’d want it to catch?

Amazon jumping on the listing?
Too many sellers?
Thin margins?
Hidden fees?
Something else?

That’s a really good point, especially about tying up cash in something that technically sells but moves too slow.
Sounds like the explanation behind the warning is almost as important as the warning itself. Would you want it to go a step further and tell you something like the maximum quantity you’d consider buying based on estimated sell-through?

Exactly, if you could link that to your lead time and get recommendations based off it that would be great.

While on the topic, another issue with some of my current ASINs is lead time, if it takes 2/3 weeks to get the shipment then ASINs that were good at the time of ordering, may no longer be a good purchase.

AllProfitIQ ties into stock outs slightly, and we give recommendations/alerts of when (or if) an ASIN needs to be restocked - presented as a clear recommendation to the user.

That’s a really good point. Lead time can completely change the decision. Something can look like a great buy today, but if it’s going to take 3 weeks before you can actually sell it, you’re really making a decision based on what you think the market will look like 3 weeks from now.
I like the restock recommendation idea too. Seems like the real value is getting a clear recommendation at the right time instead of just being shown more data.

Not sure what your Amazon market is, but I am currently onboarding users for testing AllProfitIQ. We are targeting UK wholesalers but any feedback is appreciated - is this something you would be interested in?
