The Challenge

Prime disabled due to SLA breaches and inventory sync issues across FBA/SFP. Content gaps and buy-box competitiveness further hurt visibility.

Diagnostic Symptoms

  • Prime eligibility removed due to missed SLA/latency
  • Strained inventory sync between WMS and Amazon (SFP)
  • Listing quality flags impacting conversion and ranking
  • Margins eroded by ad spend while unbadged

Structural Root Causes

  • Cut-off logic too aggressive for SFP windows
  • Inventory drift between WMS and Amazon
  • Delivery promise inaccuracies lowered CX metrics

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions around Prime eligibility and recovery.

It varies by account health and the root cause. Most turnarounds are 3–8 weeks once SOPs, inventory sync, and cut-off windows are corrected.
Both. We stabilise SFP promises and integrate with WMS/3PL for reliable cut-offs, while using FBA tactically where it improves buy-box and cost.
Ads can sustain some visibility but are often inefficient without the Prime badge. We focus on operational fixes first, then scale ads once conversion improves.
