How it works
- 01
Upload the supplier's file
The Excel file, straight from the supplier. Apex finds the barcode, cost and case pack columns and you confirm them.
- 02
See what clears
Profit, ROI and margin for every product, sorted your way, with sellers, sales rank and Amazon-as-a-seller beside each one.
- 03
Buy, restock and see the profit
The winners become a purchase order. Once they sell, your profit and loss shows what they actually made after every Amazon fee.

Honest comparison
Apex Applications vs Rocket Source, compared honestly
Rocket Source offers catalog analysis and useful identifier tools, with a free weekly scan and low-cost paid plans. A buyer who needs a scanner and nothing else may genuinely not need the broader Apex subscription, and that is worth saying plainly. What Apex adds is everything after the scan: the purchase order, the prep plan, the repricing floor and the profit report. Know how Apex Gold moves prices before you compare: Prices change when you run your strategies from Apex. Repricing automatically the moment a competitor changes price is built but not switched on yet.

Which one fits you
Choose Rocket Source if…
- You want a scanner and identifier tools, and the rest of your operation is already covered.
- The free weekly 50,000-product scan is enough for how often you buy.
- You are not ready to move purchasing and accounting into one system.
Choose Apex if…
- You want the scan to end in a purchase order rather than a spreadsheet you re-key.
- Your profitability numbers should include your actual prep and shipping costs.
- You would otherwise be paying for three or four tools that do not share data.
