Control the time it takes for inventory to be sold in the Amazon store cycle. This time is not only a measure of the store’s product sales health, but also the basis for setting the delivery plan.

For the management of storage capacity, the relationship between inventory and the changes between sales, it can make a good Amazon FBA delivery plan.
