Before and after

The result is visible before the story starts.

The operating delta leads the story: planning got cheaper, faster, and broad enough to cover every marketplace in one pass.

Claude Code $100 + PROPAMP AI $47 = $147/mo, replacing a $3,000/mo supply-chain-manager workflow.

The task

Prime Day was close. The plan had no owner.

The supply-chain manager quit weeks before Prime Day, leaving a 16-marketplace restock plan that used to take two weeks.

Why it used to take two weeks

Every marketplace changed the answer.

Manual planning meant reconciling velocity, lead time, customs, and shipment splits by hand across 16 markets. One velocity baseline error used to cost days.

The agent caught and fixed the US velocity baseline error instead of letting it contaminate the plan.

How it actually works

The agent does the dull reconciliation before it writes the plan.

The workflow follows the source case study: MCP data pull, per-market velocity, forecast, shipment sizing, workbook, and customs-ready docs.

  1. Step 01

    Pull the source data

    Seller Central and logistics data came through the MCP server instead of another spreadsheet export.

  2. Step 02

    Separate velocity by market

    The agent fixed the US-velocity baseline problem instead of applying one blended average everywhere.

  3. Step 03

    Project the horizon

    The plan ran a 137-day forecast so Prime Day demand, lead time, and coverage were visible together.

  4. Step 04

    Size the order

    The 2,000-box order was split into four shipments with marketplace-level restock logic.

  5. Step 05

    Generate the workbook

    The output was a master Excel deliverable the operator could inspect, edit, and hand off.

  6. Step 06

    Return docs ready to move

    Customs-ready documents came back with the shipment plan instead of becoming a second manual project.

The math

$3,000/mo became $147/mo.

The source narrative compares the old supply-chain manager workflow against Claude Code plus PROPAMP AI. PROPAMP plan pricing stays separate from this case-study math.

Seller tips

Treat the agent like an operator, not a magic prompt box.

The strongest advice from the source case study is practical: brief clearly, separate market velocity, and keep the data connected.

Treat it like a brilliant new hire on day one.

Brief it like a new hire

Treat the agent like a brilliant team member on day one: give context, constraints, and what good output looks like.

Do not chase perfect prompts

The winning input was a clear operator brief, not a prompt-engineering ritual.

Separate marketplace velocity

A blended baseline can hide the market that runs out first. Compute each marketplace separately.

Keep the data connected

The agent gets useful when Seller Central, shipment, and logistics records are clean enough to reason over.
