amazon ops audit
amazon ops audit
overview
description
This isn't a generic template or theory session—it's a practical deep-dive specifically into *your* Amazon operations. Over 2-3 weeks, we'll systematically map your current workflows, identify where your time is leaking, and build you a custom playbook to reclaim 10+ hours per week. You'll walk away with clear workflows, defined ownership, and a 30-day roadmap your team can execute independently. No fluff, no wishful thinking—just actionable systems that work for 7-figure sellers dealing with real inventory, supplier chaos, and team handoffs.

features
Full breakdown of where your time actually goes across Amazon tasks (inventory, suppliers, catalog, support, reports) so you see every recurring task that should be delegated, automated, or deleted
Visual map of your operating system from supplier → inbound freight → FBA/FBM → listings → orders → returns/support, including every handoff between team members and tools
Review and redesign how you forecast, reorder, and route stock (FBA, 3PL, FBM), including clear reorder rules and a weekly “inventory rhythm” so you stop checking Seller Central 10 times a day
Standard paths for the most common fires (listing suppressions, account warnings, bad batches, shipment delays, negative reviews) with “if this, then that” flows and clear owners.
Define exactly who owns which recurring tasks (POs, shipment creation, listing updates, customer messages, reconciliations), with SLAs and simple checklists
Design a 30–45 minute weekly ops meeting structure, with a fixed agenda and dashboard so decisions get made once a week instead of 100 times ad‑hoc in Slack/WhatsApp.
concrete list of tasks you personally stop doing in the next 30 days, with who they’re going to, how they’ll be done, and how you’ll know they’re on track
identify the 5–10 highest‑ROI automations for your current stack (alerts, reports, status changes, simple AI summaries), prioritised by time saved per week and ease of implementation
spec for a single dashboard (Notion/ClickUp/Sheets) with the 10–15 metrics and views your team needs daily/weekly so you aren’t logging into five tools to understand the business
a simple 30‑day rollout plan that tells your team exactly what to change in week 1, 2, 3, 4 so the new operating system actually sticks and your time savings are locked in
