Stay Stocked: The Smarter Way to Avoid Missed Sales with SellerActive’s Low Stock Report

Running out of stock can cost e-commerce sellers more than just sales—it can hurt customer trust, diminish marketplace rankings, and create operational headaches. That’s why staying ahead of inventory challenges is essential.

Amazon offers low stock reports for sellers on its platform, but many users report issues with timeliness and accuracy. With SellerActive’s Low Stock Report, we go beyond the basics, providing advanced, multichannel insights that help you avoid stockouts and maximize your revenue.

Why Amazon's Low Stock Reports Fall Short

Amazon’s low stock alerts are helpful but have limitations:

  • Delayed Notifications: Alerts often trigger after stock levels are critically low, leaving sellers little time to react.
  • Unclear Metrics: Sellers frequently report inconsistent thresholds, making it hard to predict when a notification will come.
  • Single-Channel Focus: Amazon’s reports only cover inventory sold on its platform, leaving multichannel sellers without a consolidated view.

These gaps can result in stockouts that affect sales and hinder your ability to maintain high seller performance ratings.

SellerActive: Multichannel Inventory Insights That Keep You Ahead

Our Low Stock Report is built to solve these challenges, giving sellers an edge across all sales channels. Here's how it works:

1. Real-Time Updates That Keep You Informed

Unlike static reports that may lag behind your business needs, SellerActive’s Low Stock Report updates inventory data in real time. This ensures you always have the most accurate, up-to-date information about your stock levels, helping you act quickly and confidently to prevent stockouts.

2. Proactive Alerts That Prevent Stockouts

SellerActive’s Low Stock Report uses customizable forecast settings to alert you of potential stockouts well in advance. Key features include:

  • Lead Time to Ship: Ensure you’re stocked during replenishment periods.
  • Target Days of Coverage: Set ideal inventory levels to maintain availability.
  • Sales Velocity Trends: Real-time data ensures your restocking strategy aligns with demand.

These alerts help you replenish inventory with time to spare—no scrambling or missed opportunities.

3. Comprehensive Multichannel Monitoring

Amazon’s reports only focus on its platform, but most sellers juggle multiple marketplaces. Our Low Stock Report provides a consolidated view of inventory across all integrated channels. This unified insight reduces the risk of oversights and keeps your entire business running smoothly.

4. Greater Customization, Better Decisions

Every business is unique, and your inventory strategy should reflect that. With SellerActive, you can customize thresholds for sales velocity, lead times, and target days of coverage. This flexibility ensures your alerts are tailored to your specific needs.

5. Actionable Insights for Strategic Growth

Beyond just tracking low stock, our reports provide metrics like:

  • Revenue at Risk: Understand the financial impact of not restocking in time.
  • Sales Trends: See week-over-week performance changes to anticipate demand.
  • Reorder Recommendations: Take the guesswork out of replenishment with detailed suggestions for order dates and quantities.

These insights empower you to make data-driven decisions that maximize sales and minimize disruptions.
