Built for wholesale buying

Four differences that actually matter

Listing fast matters. So does knowing which supplier order paid off when you reorder.

From shortlist to profitable purchase order

Before you buy

Analyze the whole supplier file first

Upload a supplier price list and get expected FBA and FBM profit for every line, then turn the shortlist into a purchase order.

After you sell

Realized profit by brand and supplier

Group any period by brand, supplier, product, or SKU, and click down a level. Open Show SKUs on any product, then a SKU, to see where its profit went.

Profitability Brands breakdown table under the period cards

Next actions row for units with no cost, with the Add costs dialog open

Costs you entered once

One product record from order to repricing

Unit costs from your purchase orders feed Profitability and the Repricer floors. A unit with no cost counts at $0, so profit shows too high until you add the cost. Next actions lists those units.

On your dashboard

Your sales and profit chart, with the next step under it

The dashboard shows a chart of revenue, net profit, refunds, and units for the period, with Next actions under it: set a max price, check restrictions for new leads, add a missing cost. Each row opens the tool that does it. InventoryLab's pages describe a built-in P&L for day-to-day profit numbers, and do not mention a next-steps list from your account.

Workflow

Switching from InventoryLab?

Bring your buy costs from a spreadsheet: the SKU import page accepts any CSV or XLSX file, and past orders are re-costed after the import. Do this first: until a unit has a cost, it counts at $0 and profit shows too high.

Frequently asked questions

Visit Help Center

What is the best InventoryLab alternative for wholesale sellers?

If you buy from supplier price lists, Seller Assistant covers the steps before and after the shipment: Price List Analyzer for the supplier file, Purchase Orders for buying, and Profitability for profit by brand, supplier, product, and SKU. If your main need is a guided FBA shipment workflow, InventoryLab is built for that.

What if some units have no cost?

They count at a cost of $0, so net profit shows higher than the real profit until you add the cost. The card says how many units have no cost, and Next actions lists them. Add costs lets you enter them, or import them from a file.

Can I bring my product costs over?

Yes. The SKU import page accepts any CSV or XLSX file with unit costs. Past orders are re-costed after the import. See SKUs.

Is Profitability accounting software?

No. Profitability is an operational view of your Amazon business. It does not produce an accounting statement and does not replace bookkeeping or tax software. Export the table or the P&L as CSV when you need the figures elsewhere.

Why does my payout not match my profit?

A payout is the cash Amazon deposits for its own settlement period. The P&L counts sales, product cost, and Amazon fees on the order date. Compare a payout with your bank deposit and settlement, and use the P&L for profit.

Can I ask an AI assistant about my profit?

Yes, on Business and higher. Ask Claude or ChatGPT which brands made money last month: it can read the summary, the SKU list, a breakdown by supplier, brand, or product, the P&L, and payouts through the MCP server. Anything it writes, such as a cost, needs your confirmation.

Which plans include Profitability?

Every Seller Assistant plan has access. On Pro it is a preview, and Business and Business Plus include it. See pricing.
