What to do next

  • If FBT and Seller are close on cost, try a hybrid: fast movers in FBT, long‑tail self‑fulfilled.
  • If live events push you over SLA, raise staffing or increase your automation multiplier (batch labels, picklists, carrier rules).
  • If oversell risk is high, either sync more frequently or raise safety stock on SKUs with spiky demand.
