As an Amazon seller, you probably have a million things on your to-do list; you wouldn’t be able to finish up your long list of tasks even if you worked 12 hour days and 7 day work weeks.

We’ve done the dirty work, and curated the best tech stack for Amazon Sellers that you can use to optimize your workflow. This Amazon FBA tech stack consists of the best software for Amazon sellers, including tools to help you with research, inventory management, and accounting. You’re already working hard; it’s now time to work smart!

3. Jungle Scout

Last but not least, there’s Jungle Scout, which is an Amazon product finder and research tool that has been featured prominently on publications such as Huffpost, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, and The Wall Street Journal. The tool features a web app which allows sellers to comb through thousands of products and filter out the ones which are the most profitable. On top of that, there’s also a extension, which sellers can use to get instant sales estimates and find a product’s Opportunity Score.

Price: Jungle Scout’s two tools — their web app and extension — are priced separately. The web app is priced from $25 to $50 per month, while the extension will set you back by $97 or $197 (once-off fee).

The Ultimate Tech Stack for Amazon Sellers: Inventory Management Tools
