A service, not another dashboard.
Amazon inventory planning for brands that need an operator - not another software subscription, and not full-service channel management. A named planner maintains the forecast, recommends what to replenish and send to FBA, builds the shipment files after approval, and flags stockout, excess, and fee risk early. Plans start at $1,497 per month.
Built by TESMO · Amazon operators since 2008 · Onboarding included · 3-month initial term
You need an owner, not another forecast
StockCadence is for brands that have outgrown spreadsheets and part-time inventory management but do not need a full-service agency or full-time demand planner.
- Nobody clearly owns the Amazon inventory number
- Promotions and launches keep breaking the forecast
- FBA shipments are reactive, sized by gut feel
- The software's recommendations still need someone to interpret them
- Stockouts and excess inventory alternate
- You don't want an agency running ads - you want inventory operations handled
What arrives every cycle
Every cycle, your planner delivers three working outputs. The work arrives on schedule whether or not a meeting is needed.

Who owns what
No ambiguity about where our work ends and yours begins.
Forecast & plan
- Maintains the forecast and rebuilds it every cycle
- Reviews exceptions and adjusts assumptions
- Produces the replenishment quantity recommendations
- Builds the FBA shipment plans and delivers ready-to-submit files once quantities are approved
- Flags stockout, excess, and fee risk before it gets expensive
- Sends the async operating brief and keeps the cadence moving
Approve & execute
- Provides promotion, launch, and supply information
- Confirms lead times and inventory availability
- Reviews and approves the recommended quantities
- Places supplier purchase orders
- Executes shipments with your current 3PL or warehouse - or TESMO prep & ship
Engines do the sweep. Operators make the call.
The system recalculates the plan and flags exceptions. Your planner reviews what changed, applies the business context software cannot know, and commits the recommendation.
The system handles
- Historical calculations
- Baseline forecast updates
- Exception detection
- Reorder-date calculations
Your planner handles
- Promotions and launches
- Seasonal and lead-time changes
- Supply constraints and tradeoffs
- The recommended operating decision
Software can recalculate quickly, but promotions, launches, seasonal curves, lead-time changes, and supply constraints still require judgment. Your planner reviews those exceptions and commits the recommendation sent to your team.
We are tool-agnostic: StockCadence can work from your current planning platform or standard Seller Central reports. No software migration is required.
Amazon charges you at both inventory extremes
Send too much too often and placement and storage costs rise. Run too lean and stockouts, low-inventory-level fees, and lost sales take over. The answer is not simply more inventory or fewer shipments - it is a managed replenishment cadence built around real demand and supply constraints.
Across the accounts we manage, inventory often takes 30-40 days from warehouse departure to full availability at Amazon - transit, receiving, and FC transfers across the network. A shortage visible today was often created weeks earlier, when there was still time to change the plan.
That is the method - and the name.
Planning and prep under one operating team
StockCadence is backed by TESMO's own FBA prep and ship facility in Paramount, Los Angeles. When you use the facility, the planning and fulfillment teams work inside the same operating company and handoff process - reducing the gap between what the plan recommends and what the warehouse executes. Software alone cannot connect the plan and the physical shipment under one operating team.
Prep and ship is optional. The planning service also works with your current 3PL, warehouse, or FBA-direct flow.

Not for everyone - on purpose
StockCadence is designed for standardized Seller Central planning. Accounts above roughly $5M in Amazon sales, above roughly 250 active SKUs, or with Vendor Central, hybrid 1P/3P, or financially material season commitments generally need a custom operating model - that work is handled by our parent, TESMO.

Straight answers
What is StockCadence?
StockCadence is an Amazon inventory planning and FBA replenishment service for brands up to $5M in Amazon sales, built by the operators at TESMO. Account Health Watch and FBA prep & ship are available as optional services. A named planner maintains the forecast, produces the replenishment plan, and sends a concise operating brief on a monthly, biweekly, or weekly cadence.
How is this different from inventory software like SoStocked or Inventory Planner?
Software produces recommendations your team still has to interpret and maintain. We own the planning process - a named planner maintains the number, handles promotions, seasonality, and launches, and tells your team what needs to happen next. We run on top of whatever tool you already have.
How much does Amazon inventory management cost?
StockCadence plans are $1,497, $2,297, or $3,297 per month depending on catalog and operating complexity. Onboarding is included, and every plan begins with a three-month initial term and continues month to month after that.
Is onboarding included?
Yes. The initial baseline, planning setup, and first operating cycle are included in the monthly plan - there is no separate setup project or fee.
How does StockCadence receive our data?
We work from the latest account data each cycle. Depending on your setup, that may come from your existing planning platform, scheduled Seller Central reports, or a secure report handoff - we agree on the lowest-friction workflow during onboarding. No software migration required.
Is there a contract?
3-month initial term, then month to month. We recommend the likely tier before kickoff and confirm it during onboarding. If a higher tier is required, we honor your starting price through the initial three-month term and confirm the new rate before month-to-month renewal. If the account fits a lower tier, the lower rate begins with the next billing period.
How long does it take FBA inventory to become available after you ship it?
Across the accounts we manage, often 30-40 days from shipping to full availability - transit, Amazon receiving, then FC transfers across the network. Listings often show "receive by" dates two to three weeks out well before full availability. That pipeline is why replenishment mistakes are so expensive: by the time a stockout is visible, it was often set in motion a month ago. A managed cadence plans ahead of the pipeline instead of reacting to it.
Do we have to move our FBA prep?
No. Prep and ship at our Los Angeles facility is an optional add-on with standalone agreements - the plan works with your current 3PL or FBA-direct flow.
What if we're bigger than your tiers?
Above roughly $5M in Amazon revenue or 250 active SKUs, or with Vendor Central complexity, you need custom planning - that's our parent company, TESMO.
