Customer Success Story
Recovering ₹3.82L in Hidden FBA Losses in Just 6 Weeks
The Story Behind the Brand
Praveen Traders, an India-based Amazon FBA seller, has built a strong presence on Amazon by offering quality products and delivering a seamless customer experience. As the business scaled, managing inventory accuracy, reimbursements, and operational efficiency became increasingly important to maintaining profitability.
Challenges Faced Before Using KwickMetrics
Like most FBA sellers, Praveen Kumar lacked a systematic process to track these discrepancies. Manual reconciliation across months of transactions was impractical, and the limited claims filed had a success rate of only around 40%.
Over time, these unnoticed losses compounded, quietly eroding profit margins that should have contributed to business growth.
Impact of KwickMetrics
KwickMetrics conducted a comprehensive 18-month audit of Praveen Traders’ FBA account. The audit identified discrepancies across lost inventory, unreimbursed returns, damaged goods, and misplaced stock.
All eligible claims were automatically filed and managed end-to-end by KwickMetrics’ reimbursement team, including follow-ups with Amazon. This eliminated the need for any manual intervention from Praveen’s team.
Within just 6 weeks, Rs. 3,82,450 in previously unrecovered funds was successfully recovered — revenue that would have otherwise been permanently lost.
Recovery Breakdown
| Discrepancy Type | Amount Recovered |
|---|---|
| Lost / missing inventory | Rs. 1,45,000 |
| Unreimbursed customer returns | Rs. 92,000 |
| Damaged stock | Rs. 78,000 |
| Misplaced inventory | Rs. 66,000 |
| Total Recovered | Rs. 3,82,450 |
