Amazon owes that money back, but nobody had automated the filing: recovery meant reconciling four-plus Seller Central reports by hand and re-typing every claim into the Seller Central UI. ### Problem - Workflow friction — manual report reconciliation, repetitive lookups, tedious Seller Central navigation - Data & reporting — no unified dashboard, manual value-difference maths, data split across reports - User pain — hours lost daily, fear of missed money, no case pipeline visibility - Tool limits — no discrepancy detection, no auto-filing, no alerts, spreadsheet-bound ### Approach - Discovery & baseline — stakeholder workshops, a Seller Central API and report audit, internal questionnaires. Scoped and ranked 5 case types by payout; lost-inbound shipments alone were 95% of case volume, so that flow shipped first. - Design sprints — prototyped the Lost Inbound flow, usability-tested it with internal teams, and simplified the hardest path: closing a case on a partial payout. - Enhanced usability — sessions with 8 internal users plus post-sprint surveys took usability to 90%, cut manual filing to 4% of cases, and collapsed filing from ~30 minutes to ~60 seconds. - Performance — pre-validation on API-backed forms and a final usability round landed a 97 usability score with materially faster data fetches. ### Outcomes - Web app: 98% data accuracy across 80 simulated sessions; under 10 seconds to review a case and hit File Case - Chrome plugin: 95% filing success at under a 2% error rate; ~60 seconds end to end — screen, fetch documents, upload, file - Business: retired a $1.5M/yr third-party vendor and captured $500K in recovered claims ### Trade-offs - Reconciling 4+ pricing reports properly vs. hitting sprint deadlines — shipped Shipment Reports first and deferred low-value edge cases. - Keeping the Chrome plugin alive through Seller Central UI changes — real-time testing with developers inside every sprint review. ## Frequently asked ### Who is Nikhil Shriman?
