As an Amazon vendor there are always surprises!

Vendor teams have access to lots of data, however it can often be a challenge to see the wood for the trees when it comes to profitability.

So usually they just don't know or see when the surprises are coming.

By the time I'm called in to help, margin is already below target..

Funding is locked in

Prices are confirmed

Plans are agreed

So I'm often asked how do we get ahead of this so we can spot risks early?

My standard response...

Track margin at line level..and set the following alerts..

When a SKU drops below break even

When funding becomes permanent

When sales and volume increase, slow or decline at sku level

Good margin management is about seeing and solving the problems before they hit you!
