Amazon wholesale software
What Amazon wholesale software needs to do
Amazon wholesale is a loop: find products in a supplier's price list, buy them, price them, ship them to Amazon, and see what you made. Each step can be its own subscription, and most sellers end up copying numbers between them. Here is what software for wholesale has to handle, and how Apex does each part.
Step 1
Find profitable products in a supplier's price list
Wholesale starts with a spreadsheet from a distributor, often thousands of rows. Software has to match each UPC to its Amazon listing and show price, sales rank, fees and profit for every row, so you only look closely at the ones that work.
- Upload a whole price list and match every UPC to its ASIN
- Profit, ROI and sales rank per row
- Up to 100,000 UPCs an hour, with suppliers merged into one master catalog
Step 2
Turn the shortlist into purchase orders
Once you know what to buy, the order has to go to the supplier, the costs have to land in your books, and what arrives has to match what you paid for.
- Purchase orders built from the products you approved
- Supplier records and an inventory database
- Landed cost carried through to profit
Step 3
Price to win the Buy Box without selling at a loss
Wholesale listings are shared, so price moves constantly. A repricer for wholesale needs a floor worked out from your real cost and Amazon's fees, not a guess.
- Break-even floors from your real FBA fees
- Floors set by ROI, margin or dollar profit
- Dry-run previews and a full activity log
Step 4
Know what you actually made
Seller Central shows sales. A wholesale business needs profit after product cost, fees, freight and overhead, by day, week or month.
- A P&L statement by day, week or month
- Amazon fees deducted automatically
- Operating expenses recorded alongside
Step 5
Get stock prepped and shipped to Amazon
Most wholesale sellers use a prep center. The shipments, warehouses and prep bills belong in the same system as the orders that created them.
- Shipments, warehouses and inventory in one place
- Prep center coordination and billing
- Access to Apex's prep center network
Step 6
Ask every buyer for a review
Amazon's own Request a Review button is the safe way to ask for reviews. Doing it by hand on every order is the part nobody keeps up with.
- Amazon's review request sent on every eligible order, on a schedule
- A log of what was sent
- The seller dashboard and Apex University course
Suppliers to start with
Software does not help without someone to buy from. Every Apex trial comes with three authorized US distributors from the Distributor Vault, with three more each full month you stay.
