Description

SoStocked is an advanced inventory management, forecasting, and tracking software specifically built for Amazon sellers. Developed from an Amazon seller's perspective, it addresses common pain points like over-ordering, under-ordering, late orders/transfers, and the complexities of managing inventory across FBA, warehouses, and multiple marketplaces. Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all algorithms, SoStocked provides a customizable platform that functions intuitively, similar to a spreadsheet but with significantly enhanced intelligence and automation.

The platform enables users to gain deep visibility and control over their inventory processes. It focuses on using accurate data, factoring in nuances like stockout periods, sales spikes, seasonality, marketing plans (like Lightning Deals), and lead times. By allowing users to adjust velocity calculations, set buffer stocks, manage purchase orders, and track inventory across various locations, SoStocked aims to streamline operations, prevent costly mistakes like stockouts or excess storage fees, and ultimately help Amazon businesses scale more effectively by synchronizing inventory planning with marketing strategies.
