As an Amazon seller, you know the importance of having your products delivered quickly and efficiently to your customers. However, you might not be aware of the benefits of using Amazon’s Inventory Placement Service (IPS) to improve your inventory management and shipping processes.
Global Parachutes offers IPS as part of our suite of Amazon seller services. IPS is an optional program for FBA sellers that allows you to ship all of your inventory to a single Amazon fulfillment center (FC) instead of spreading it out across multiple FCs. Amazon will then handle the distribution of your products to other FCs based on customer demand, without any additional cost to you.
So, what are the benefits of using IPS? Here are a few key advantages to consider:
- Reduced Shipping Costs
When you use IPS, you can save money on shipping costs because you only have to send your inventory to one FC. This can be especially beneficial if you sell large, heavy, or bulky items that are expensive to ship.
- Faster Delivery Times
IPS allows Amazon to distribute your inventory more efficiently based on customer demand. This means that your products can be delivered to customers more quickly, which can lead to higher customer satisfaction and increased sales.
- Improved Inventory Management
By using IPS, you can gain better control over your inventory management. You can track your inventory more easily since it is all stored in one FC, and you can also avoid stockouts and overstocking of certain products.
- Increased Buy Box Share
Amazon uses several factors to determine which seller wins the Buy Box, including price, fulfillment method, and seller metrics. By using IPS, you can improve your fulfillment method, which can help you win the Buy Box more often and increase your sales.
Global Parachutes can help you set up IPS for your Amazon business and provide ongoing support to ensure that your inventory is managed effectively. Our team of experts has years of experience working with Amazon sellers and can help you optimize your inventory management and shipping processes to maximize your profits.
In conclusion, if you’re an FBA seller looking to streamline your inventory management and shipping processes, IPS could be a valuable tool for your business. Contact Global Parachutes to learn more about how we can help you take advantage of this program and improve your Amazon selling experience.
