How It Works
How We Do It
Changelog from my journey
I've been working on Aceternity for the past 2 years. Here's a timeline of my journey.
Step 01
Step 01
Sales Velocity & Sell-Through Analysis
We pull your historical sales data and calculate daily, weekly, and monthly sell-through rates for every active ASIN. This forms the baseline for all forecasting models and identifies products at risk of stockout or overstock.
Step 02
Step 02
Demand Forecasting & Seasonality Modelling
Using your sell-through data combined with category-level seasonality trends, we build 90-day rolling demand forecasts. Peak periods like Q4, Prime Day, and Black Friday are modelled separately to ensure you are never caught short.
Step 03
Step 03
Reorder Point & Safety Stock Calculation
We calculate precise reorder points and safety stock levels for each ASIN based on supplier lead times, Amazon's receiving delays, and your acceptable risk of stockout. These parameters are documented in a live replenishment model.
Step 04
Step 04
FBA vs. FBM Hybrid Planning
Where appropriate, we design hybrid FBA/FBM strategies to maintain sales continuity during inventory transitions and to protect your account from BSR drops during peak replenishment windows.
Step 05
Step 05
IPI Score Monitoring & Storage Fee Optimisation
We monitor your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score weekly and take proactive action — including removal orders, FBM transfers, and promotional pricing — to keep your score above 700 and avoid FBA storage restrictions.
Step 06
Step 06
Monthly Inventory Health Reporting
Each month you receive a complete inventory health report covering sell-through rates, projected stockout dates, recommended reorder quantities, storage fee exposure, and stranded inventory alerts with resolution actions.
