Copy-paste prompt
Here's my FBA inventory with expiration dates by FNSKU and my sales velocity for the last 30 days: [paste]. List every unit that will hit Amazon's expiry cutoff before it sells at the current rate, sorted by value at risk. For each, suggest one action (promotion, removal order, or move to another marketplace) and say why.

What they did
Alpi, an organic food brand from Sofia run by two founders and sold in the Amazon store in a dozen countries, has 500+ raw materials with different shelf lives and delivery schedules. Amazon says AI inventory tools now flag products nearing expiry and suggest priorities, and that Seller Assistant, Amazon's agentic AI tool, pulls data from several reports into insights, replacing the manual scanning that took the team's time.
