How it works

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
Sort by what matters
Profit, ROI, margin, sellers and sales rank for every product, with hazmat, meltable and Amazon-as-a-seller flags beside each one.
- 03
Order the winners
Move the products that clear into your database and build the purchase order from them. Rescan the same file next month and the numbers update.

Honest comparison
Apex Applications vs Scan Unlimited, compared honestly
Scan Unlimited offers a focused bulk analysis workflow and a free entry tier, and when scanning really is the only job you need, that is a sensible fit and a cheaper one. The difference is what happens to the results: Apex Green scans a supplier's catalog and then carries the profitable lines into a purchase order, a prep plan and a profit report.

Which one fits you
Choose Scan Unlimited if…
- Scanning is the only gap, and one 10,000-product file a month covers how you buy.
- You already have repricing, purchasing and accounting you are happy with.
- You want to start at no cost before paying anything.
Choose Apex if…
- The scan is the start of the job, not the end. You want the buy and the books to follow from it, with prep (Apex Red, beta) alongside.
- You would otherwise pay for a scanner, a repricer and an analytics tool separately.
- You want the profitability on screen to use your real prep and shipping costs.
