Business Challenge

The-Client

The client faced three major operational bottlenecks:

1. Inventory sync issues between their online platforms (Amazon, Walmart, internal eCommerce) and physical stores.

2. Unpredictable delivery times leading to low customer satisfaction and frequent returns.

3. Inefficient warehouse utilization, with either overstock or unfulfilled demand in key cities like Chicago and Indianapolis.

They needed a real-time, automated solution to monitor inventory levels and delivery performance across Amazon Fulfillment Centers and Walmart store networks.

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Actowiz Solutions deployed an integrated data scraping system to collect and process:

  • SKU-level inventory data from Amazon.com (FBA) and Walmart.com
  • ZIP-code-based delivery time estimates
  • Warehouse restock timelines
  • Localized stock availability in nearby cities
  • This data was synced via a custom dashboard and API into the client’s ERP and warehouse management systems for automated decision-making.

    Step 1: Inventory Sync with Amazon & Walmart

    We built custom SKU-matching crawlers to extract the following data from Amazon and Walmart daily:

    Platform SKU Stock Status Fulfilled By Price (USD) ETA (ZIP 60601)
    Amazon ELEC-BX101 In Stock Amazon FBA 49.99 1 Day
    Walmart ELEC-BX101 Low in Store Walmart DC 47.99 2 Days
    Amazon HOM-DT230 Out of Stock Merchant N/A N/A

    This real-time feed allowed the client to:

    • Instantly reflect stock-outs or low inventory on their own site.
    • Auto-deactivate products if Walmart or Amazon ran out.
    • Sync availability across Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, and internal POS systems.

    Result:

    Order cancellations dropped by 18%, and cart abandonment due to “out of stock” errors reduced by 23% in 60 days.

    Step 2: Delivery Time Optimization

    By scraping estimated delivery times from Amazon.com and Walmart.com for over 500 ZIP codes in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, Actowiz Solutions created a delivery-time intelligence dashboard.

    Sample Delivery Time Dataset:

    Platform SKU ZIP Code Delivery ETA Fulfillment Center Prime Eligible
    Amazon HOM-DT230 60601 2 Days Joliet, IL Yes
    Walmart HOM-DT230 60601 3 Days Store #456 – Cicero No

    Insights uncovered:

    • Amazon’s Joliet, IL FBA warehouse delivered 30% faster than client’s in-house fulfillment.
    • Walmart stores showed delayed dispatch on weekends.

    Using this data, the client:

    • Redirected high-demand SKUs to Amazon FBA to meet Prime delivery expectations.
    • Scheduled same-day dispatch for ZIPs with historically delayed Walmart deliveries.
    • Re-routed orders to alternative fulfillment centers during peak traffic or storms.

    Result:

    Average delivery time reduced from 3.5 days to 1.9 days, and delivery SLA compliance improved by 34%.

    Step 3: Warehouse Planning Using Stock Trends

    Actowiz Solutions implemented stock frequency analysis using scraped historical inventory data for 6 months.

    Insights Derived:

    • SKU ELEC-BX101 ran out at Walmart every Saturday evening, indicating high weekend demand.
    • Amazon restocked SKU HOM-DT230 every Tuesday, enabling predictive planning for Tuesday-Wednesday shipping.
    • 70% of customer complaints came from ZIPs that lacked localized inventory.

    Warehouse Allocation Dashboard View:

    SKU Location Avg Weekly Demand Overstock % Suggested Action
    ELEC-BX101 Chicago IL 1,200 units 5% Keep steady replenishment
    HOM-DT230 Peoria IL 300 units 42% Divert stock to Chicago
    ACC-CBL999 Joliet IL 50 units 3% Move to clearance stock

    Based on these insights, the client revised their warehouse plans:

    • Consolidated underperforming SKUs in 2 of 6 warehouses.
    • Increased forward stocking for high-turnover SKUs in Joliet and Naperville.
    • Automated replenishment triggers based on competitor restock cycles.

    Result:

    Warehouse storage costs dropped by 21%, and order fulfillment rates improved by 26%.
