The challenges

Managing large diverse inventory

Efitness, selling a wide range of products on Amazon, sought help with inventory management, including sales forecasting and classifying inventory by value and profitability impact.

Selecting

bestsellers

Predicting market trends is crucial when managing a large variety of products and maintaining a competitive edge. Winning the market requires a perfect storm: the right product in stock and the right price.

Festering

logistics issues

FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) entails handling inventory storage, order fulfillment, and shipping, which can be time-consuming. Lost or delayed orders may result in negative feedback or A-Z claims.

Persisting negative reviews

Efitness experienced significant logistical and return challenges, resulting in negative reviews, especially during peak seasons as order volumes increased.

Our action plan

1

Tailoring on data

Efitness offers a wide range of products at various prices and sizes. By focusing on smaller, moderately priced items with high sales potential, we were able to maximize success. We also closely tracked customer behavior and seasonal trends.

2

Changing from FBM to FBA

Fulfillment by Merchant was hindering Efitness’s sales growth. Switching to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) significantly boosted sales, product movement, and saved time. Additionally, FBA reduced costs for some products, improving margins.

3

Boosting Account health and reducing negative reviews

We identified the root causes of account health issues and negative reviews. Working with sellers, we implemented new procedures to prevent future problems. We also removed unfair or inaccurate reviews and introduced a semi-returnless refund policy for items with high return shipping costs.

4

Implementation of return labels

Approximately 30% of negative reviews were related to shipping or returns. EXPANDO addressed these issues by offering prepaid labels and returnless refunds, simplifying the return process for customers. This improved the overall shopping experience.
