The Amazon Inventory Performance Index is a single indicator that measures the true performance of a store over a period of time. The Amazon platform will use this index to measure the seller’s Amazon logistics business performance. IPI (Amazon Inventory Performance) scores are based on a seller’s ability to drive sales by stocking best-selling items and efficiently managing existing inventory.
According to the platform regulations, the IPI score ranges from 0 to 1000 points. If the seller’s IPI score is above 550 points, it means that the seller’s business capabilities are very good. If the IPI score is lower than 450, it means that the seller needs to take immediate steps to improve his score.
Because once the IPI score falls below 450, the Amazon platform will issue a warning to the seller within 6 weeks at the end of the first quarter. If the score has not recovered by the last day, the platform will store the seller. Starting from the second quarter, the excess inventory will require an additional “overage fee”. If it rises to 350 points by the middle of the third quarter, the storage limit will be lifted.
The above is the relevant content of Amazon’s US Inventory Performance Index. Generally speaking, IPI is one of the important reference standards for measuring the performance of sellers’ Amazon logistics business. A seller with a higher IPI score can prove that his logistics capabilities are better.

In addition to paying attention to the Amazon US Inventory Performance Index, sellers also need to adjust the direction of operations according to the development of the store. The most important point is to pay attention to product selection. Once the wrong product is selected, all subsequent efforts will be in vain. . It can be seen that it is not an easy task to build a good store.
