Challenge

The retailer faced issues common to growing European brands:

  • Overselling & cancellations — 12% of Amazon orders were being canceled due to outdated stock sync between Shopify, ERP, and Amazon. Negative reviews piled up, hurting seller scores.
  • Reputation risk — Amazon flagged their seller performance, and losing Buy Box eligibility was a looming threat.
  • Operational inefficiency — employees spent 15–20 hours per week manually reconciling Shopify and Amazon stock.
  • Limited visibility — leadership could not forecast demand reliably, leading to overstock in slow movers and shortages in best-sellers.

Solution

  • Centralized inventory orchestration using Linnworks to synchronize stock across Shopify Plus, Amazon FBM/FBA, and ERP (SAP Business One). Updates for fast-moving SKUs pushed every 2 minutes.
  • Data integration pipeline with Fivetran → Snowflake to unify sales, stock, and forecast data.
  • Predictive demand forecasting with AWS Forecast + Prophet ML, providing SKU-level projections.
  • Dynamic repricing via Feedvisor, ensuring Amazon competitiveness while safeguarding margins.
  • Security & compliance layer: Datadog monitoring, Cloudflare WAF for API endpoints, GDPR audit logging.

Results

  • Amazon's cancellation rate reduced from 12% → 2% in one quarter.
  • Buy Box win rate improved by 18%, boosting marketplace visibility and sales.
  • Stockouts reduced by 40%, improving customer satisfaction.
  • Operational efficiency: saved ~15–20 staff hours weekly with automated reconciliation.
  • Leadership gained transparency — Snowflake dashboards now provide executives with predictive visibility across Shopify and Amazon.
