The beta, honestly

What works today.

Checked against the running application. Screens and steps may still change while it is in beta.

Working in the beta today

  • Building an FBA shipment from your purchase orders, through Amazon's current Fulfillment Inbound API
  • Packing and placement options returned by Amazon, with box contents, weights and dimensions
  • Connecting a warehouse or prep center, and sending the order ahead so they can reconcile what arrives
  • Receiving counts back against the order, including short, damaged and over-delivered lines
  • Prep costs per unit, carried into the landed cost behind your margins and price floors
  • Prep billing and invoices between a seller and their prep center
  • Messaging between a seller and their prep center against a specific shipment

Not part of it

  • Discounted carrier rates. Apex does not resell freight and has no carrier agreement
  • Automated 2D barcode or label printing workflows
  • Marketplaces beyond Amazon US
  • A guaranteed turnaround, SLA or support commitment while the module is in beta

At a glance

Apex Red, in plain terms.

Shipments, prep center messages and prep bills sit in email threads and spreadsheets, separate from the orders they belong to.
