How to Improve Your Amazon IPI Score: 8 Proven Methods

Improving your Amazon IPI score requires targeting the four underlying metrics directly. Here are the eight most effective actions, ranked by impact: 1) Resolve all stranded inventory immediately — stranded inventory counts against you fully. Go to Fix Stranded Inventory and resolve every ASIN this week. 2) Remove or liquidate excess inventory — products with more than 90 days of supply relative to sales velocity are categorized as excess. Run lightning deals, coupons, or removal orders. 3) Reduce reorder quantities — order less more often to maintain lean inventory levels that match your actual sales velocity. 4) Increase advertising on slow movers — a targeted Sponsored Products campaign on low-velocity products directly improves their sell-through rate. 5) Retire underperforming products — ASINs that have been in FBA for 180+ days without meaningful sales will continue to drag your score. Request removal orders. 6) Improve in-stock rate for top sellers — stockouts on fast movers hurt your in-stock rate metric. Tighten your replenishment triggers for your highest-velocity products. 7) Use FBA liquidations — Amazon's liquidation program gives you 5-20 cents per dollar of inventory value but immediately clears units from your excess inventory count, which helps your IPI more than long-term storage fees. 8) Audit weekly — IPI score issues compound when ignored. A weekly 15-minute review of your IPI dashboard prevents small problems from becoming major score drags.
