Implementation steps (for sellers who decide to use a 5-position distribution)
✅ Step 1: Data analysis - Download the back-office warehousing configuration service fee report, count the monthly sales volume and product weight of each SKU, and calculate the total storage cost (configuration fee+first trip freight)
✅ Step 2: SKU Screening - Select SKUs with monthly sales volume of at least 5 units, sort by weight (<8.5 lbs priority), and develop a batch implementation plan
✅ Step 3: Packing planning - calculate the number of boxes required for each SKU, ensure that the quantity per box is the same (evenly distributed with SKU), and keep the SKU combination of all boxes consistent when mixing
✅ Step 4: Create a shipping plan - Send to Amazon users: create the shipment after packing according to the rules; API/ERP users: use the new API to split the warehouse and then pack
✅ Step 5: Monitor and optimize - Track changes in warehousing configuration service fees, compare costs before and after optimization, and continuously adjust optimization strategies
