Check WB Seller Dashboard: "Поставки" → "Принять поставку" 2. Best checking times: 07:00-09:00, 12:00-14:00, 20:00-22:00 Moscow time 3. New slots often released: Monday and Wednesday mornings 4. Set up Telegram notifications if WB bot available 5. Check multiple warehouses simultaneously (not just your preferred) ``` **Booking decision tree:** ``` Available slot detected? ├── Coefficient = 0: BOOK IMMEDIATELY regardless of timing ├── Coefficient 1: Book if inventory needed within 3 weeks ├── Coefficient 2-3: Book if critically low (< 7 days stock) └── Coefficient 4-5: Decline unless emergency (cost prohibitive) ``` **Multi-warehouse diversification:** ``` Instead of: 100% to Коледино Consider: 60% Коледино + 40% Подольск or Казань Benefits: - Reduces dependency on single warehouse - Faster slots available at regional warehouses - Geographic distribution improves delivery speed to buyers - Regional warehouses have lower coefficient fees ``` ### Supply Planning **Reorder timeline calculation:** ``` Safety stock = Daily sales × Delivery lead time × Safety factor Safety factor = 1.5 (recommended for WB booking uncertainty) Example: Daily sales: 50 units Lead time: 21 days (production 14 + transit 7) Safety factor: 1.5 Safety stock = 50 × 21 × 1.5 = 1,575 units Reorder when: Inventory at WB = Safety stock + Units in transit = 1,575 + 0 = 1,575 units trigger point ``` **Booking frequency strategy:** ``` Volume scenario Recommended booking frequency High volume (>200/day): Every 2 weeks — maintain 30-day supply Medium (50-200/day): Every 3-4 weeks — maintain 45-day supply Low (<50/day): Monthly — maintain 60-day supply ``` ### Shipment Preparation Checklist ``` BEFORE BOOKING [ ] Check coefficient for target warehouse (aim ≤2) [ ] Confirm inventory ready for delivery date [ ] Barcode all items (WB barcode requirements) [ ] Package per WB standards (box sizes, weight limits) [ ] Prepare shipment list in WB system DURING BOOKING PROCESS [ ] Book slot with buffer (at least 3 days before needed) [ ] Complete supply order in WB system [ ] Print supply stickers and route sheet [ ] Schedule logistics carrier for pickup ON DELIVERY DAY [ ] Confirm carrier booked and confirmed [ ] Have all documents ready (supply order, route sheet) [ ] Arrive at warehouse at appointed time (penalties for no-show) [ ] Get acceptance confirmation and slip number ``` ### Emergency Restock Strategy When facing stockout risk: ``` Priority 1: Check coefficient 0 warehouses immediately — book any available Priority 2: Use FBS (seller ships to buyer) temporarily while waiting for FBO slot Priority 3: Split shipment — send available inventory now, rest when slot opens Priority 4: Express delivery service to WB (more expensive but fast) Priority 5: Reduce ad spend to slow sales velocity while restocking ``` **FBS backup plan:** - Activate FBS (seller-fulfilled) for affected SKUs - Set processing time to 1-2 days - Maintain small FBS stock at your location as buffer - Deactivate FBS once FBO stock replenished ### Inventory Level Optimization **Target inventory levels:** ``` Green zone: 30-45 days of stock at warehouse Yellow zone: 15-30 days of stock (initiate restock) Red zone: 7-15 days (emergency booking needed) Critical: <7 days (out-of-stock risk, ranking damage) ``` **Out-of-stock impact on WB:** - Ranking drops significantly after 24-48 hours out of stock - Recovery time: 2-4 weeks to return to previous position - Financial impact: Lost sales + ranking recovery cost in ads ### Logistics Carrier Options For delivering to WB warehouses: ``` Carrier Notes ТК Деловые Линии Reliable, major carrier СДЭК Good network, tracking ПЭК Large freight specialist Boxberry Good for smaller shipments Direct delivery Own car — cheapest but limited ``` **Carrier selection by volume:** - <500 kg per delivery: СДЭК or Boxberry - 500-3000 kg: Деловые Линии or ПЭК - >3000 kg: Direct negotiation with major carriers ## Workspace Creates `~/wb-logistics/` containing: - `bookings/` — booking history and tracking - `inventory/` — stock level monitoring - `supply-plans/` — delivery schedule - `warehouses/` — warehouse comparison data - `reports/` — fulfillment performance reports ## Output Format Every logistics plan outputs: 1. **Inventory Status** — current days of stock by warehouse 2. **Booking Recommendation** — when and where to book next supply 3. **Coefficient Analysis** — current fees at each warehouse 4. **Supply Schedule** — next 3 delivery dates with quantities 5. **Emergency Plan** — what to do if out-of-stock imminent 6. **Checklist** — pre-delivery preparation steps 7. **Cost Estimate** — logistics cost for planned supply
