ArgoDeck
Alerts for Amazon sellers

Catch the problems that cost you money, and know how to fix them.

ArgoDeck Alerts is listing monitoring and alert software for Amazon sellers. It checks for the things that quietly cost you money every 30 minutes, like a hijacker on your listing, a suppressed Buy Box, stranded stock or a shipment Amazon received short, using Amazon data that refreshes from hourly to daily. Every alert is ranked by the money at stake and comes with the steps to fix it.

Included in every plan. Free if you sell under $5K a month.

Alerts you can act on, not noise

Most alert tools tell you something changed and leave the rest to you. ArgoDeck tells you what it means, what it's worth and what to do next.

Every alert comes with the fix

What happened in plain English, numbered steps to fix it, and a button that opens the right page in Seller Central or in ArgoDeck.

Ranked by money, not by time

Alerts are sorted by priority and then by the money at stake, worked out from what you paid for the units. The expensive problems are always at the top.

Checked against Seller Central

An alert type only appears once we've checked that it matches what Seller Central shows. If it isn't reliable yet, it stays hidden.

Quiet when there's nothing to do

Alerts you can't act on stay out of your list, and short blips are ignored. A suppressed Buy Box only becomes an alert after it lasts an hour.

It comes back if it isn't fixed

Mark an alert resolved and it hides for 7 days. If the problem is still there, it shows up again.

Built on your own numbers

Alerts read the same inventory and costs as the rest of ArgoDeck, so they can tell you about stock at your prep center or a shipment that came up short.

What ArgoDeck Alerts watches

Sixteen alert types across your listings, stock, shipments and account. Each group has its own place in the menu, so you can go straight to what you care about.

Sellers and Buy Box

Who's on your listings and whether you're winning.

New seller on your listingA new seller joined and either holds the Buy Box or is priced under you. Spot hijackers early.
Buy Box suppressedAmazon stopped showing a Buy Box on your listing, and it has lasted at least an hour.
Buy Box lost under your min priceYou lost the Buy Box, but the winning price is still above your breakeven, so you could win it back at a profit.

Listing health

Problems that stop a listing from selling.

Amazon blocked a listingAmazon flagged one of your listings. The alert shows Amazon's own words and error code.
Your detail page changedThe title, images or other details on your product page changed. Spelling only changes go to History instead.

How an alert works

From the moment ArgoDeck spots a problem to the moment it's gone.

Spotted

Every alert type is checked every 30 minutes, using data ArgoDeck reads from Amazon on its own schedule, from hourly to daily.

Ranked

Urgent, this week or FYI, with the money at stake. Only the problems that can really hurt you, like account health or an FBM order due today, are ever marked urgent.

Explained

Open it to see what happened, how long it's been open, the units involved and the steps to fix it.

Resolved

Mark it resolved, add a note for your team, or mute the type, the SKU or the seller if it doesn't matter to you.

Buy Box tracker

Alerts tell you when something goes wrong. The Buy Box tracker shows you the trend, so you can see which listings are slipping before they cost you sales.

Across your FBA listings

  • Your Buy Box share over the last 30 days.
  • How many listings you hold 90% of the time or more.
  • How many are unstable, changing hands more than 4 times a day.
  • How many lost 30 points or more compared with last week.

For each listing

  • A bar for each day showing how much of it you held the Buy Box.
  • Who held the Buy Box when you didn't.
  • Tabs for listings that lost ground, are unstable or rarely win.

History and team work

See what changed while you were away, and keep everyone on the same page.

Two weeks of history

Every alert that appeared or cleared in the last 14 days, plus every competitor price move of at least $1 or 2% on your listings.

Notes for your team

Add a case number or what you tried to any alert. Notes are saved with who wrote them and when.

Search and export

Search by SKU, ASIN, shipment or product, mark everything as seen, and export the list to CSV.

Always in view. New alerts show as a card on your Home page, the menu shows counts for each group, and urgent alerts get a red badge. On your phone, alerts turn into cards that are easy to work through.

Alerts questions

What sellers usually ask about ArgoDeck Alerts.

What does ArgoDeck Alerts watch?

New sellers on your listings, a suppressed or lost Buy Box, listings Amazon blocked, changes to your detail pages, stock running out, stranded inventory, stock Amazon is about to send back, shipments Amazon received short, FBM orders close to their ship by date, stock stuck at your prep center, and your account health.

How often does it check?

Every 30 minutes for every alert type, and again whenever you open the Alerts page. Each check reads from Amazon on its own schedule, from hourly for FBM orders to daily for reports like account health and stranded inventory.

Will I get flooded with alerts?

No. An alert type only shows once we've checked it against what Seller Central shows, and alerts you can't do anything about stay out of your list. A suppressed Buy Box, for example, only becomes an alert after it lasts an hour.

What does at stake mean?

It's the money tied up in the problem, usually the units involved times what you paid for them. For an FBM order due to ship, it's the order total. Alerts are sorted by priority and then by money at stake, so the expensive problems come first.

Does it tell me how to fix the problem?

Yes. Every alert explains what happened in plain English, lists the steps to fix it, and has a button that opens the right page in Seller Central or in ArgoDeck.

Does it catch hijackers on my listings?

It alerts you when a new seller joins your listing and either holds the Buy Box or is priced under you, so you can check whether they're a real competitor or a hijacker.

Can I mute alerts?

Yes. Mute a whole alert type, a single SKU or a single seller. When you mark an alert resolved it hides for 7 days, and it comes back if the problem is still there.

Is it a SellerSonar alternative?

It covers the alerts many sellers pay a separate tool for, like new sellers on a listing, a suppressed Buy Box, detail page changes and account health, and adds stock and shipment alerts built on your own inventory and costs.

How much does it cost?

Alerts are included in every ArgoDeck plan, along with the repricer, inventory and profit analytics. Sellers doing under $5K a month use it free.
