Supplier-aware protection for Amazon sellers
Protect your Amazon listings from supplier stockouts and margin loss.
Skumetra compares your supplier inventory and costs with your Amazon listings, calculates safe selling prices, and shows which products need attention.
Built for active Amazon sellers using supplier CSV or Excel files.

The problem & what Skumetra detects
Your Amazon listing can look healthy while the supplier data behind it has already changed.
Listings live in Seller Central. Costs and quantities arrive in supplier files. Margin rules live in a spreadsheet. Nothing connects them — so a change on one side stays invisible on the other until an order goes out. Skumetra watches the gap across three kinds of risk.
Inventory risk
- Supplier stockouts
Find listings that remain available after the supplier quantity reaches zero.
- Low supplier inventory
Identify products approaching your configured stock threshold.
- Stale supplier data
See when the latest supplier file is older than your accepted threshold.
Margin risk
- Supplier cost increases
See which cost changes could reduce profit or make a listing unprofitable.
- Unsafe selling prices
Compare the current Amazon price with the calculated minimum safe price.
- Margin below target
Identify products that no longer meet your dollar-profit or percentage-margin rules.
Data quality
- Unmatched products
Find Amazon listings with no connected supplier product.
- Low-confidence matches
Review possible product relationships before relying on their calculations.
- Missing supplier data
Identify missing supplier cost, stock, identifiers, or other required values.
How it works
From supplier files to prioritized actions
This is the workflow Founding Seller Pilot participants will use once onboarded — file upload, matching, and rule-based analysis are not yet available to try on this site.
- STEP 1
Upload your files
Upload your Amazon Active Listings file and a supplier inventory or pricing file (CSV or Excel).
amazon-active-listings.csvsupplier-inventory.xlsx - STEP 2
Match products
Skumetra connects supplier products to Amazon listings using SKU, ASIN, UPC, manufacturer part number, and product-title similarity.
Uncertain matches stay available for your review rather than being applied silently.
- STEP 3
Apply protection rules
Define your minimum profit, minimum margin, stock threshold, shipping assumptions, and data-freshness rules.
- STEP 4
Review what needs attention
Skumetra identifies stockouts, supplier cost changes, unsafe prices, stale data, and uncertain matches, then explains the recommended next action.
You remain in control. The MVP does not automatically update Amazon.

Where AI fits
AI helps interpret the data. Your rules protect the money.
Supplier files arrive in inconsistent shapes, and product names rarely agree across two systems. AI is useful for reading that ambiguity. It is not what decides your prices.

- Conflicting product-title comparison
- Alert explanations

Rule-based and controlled
- Supplier cost
