From purchase to Amazon, one workflow
Every step moves your units to the next stage on the Locations page, so you always know where your stock and your money are.
Record the purchase
From your Google Sheet or the purchase form. The cost is saved on its own batch and the SKU is created for you. Units show as with you.
List it on Amazon
Add items to a batch, run Amazon's checks and submit. ArgoDeck follows each listing until it's live and shows the FNSKU.
Prep center inbound, created
The inbound is created at your prep center automatically, with the store order number, so the prep center knows what's coming.
Parcels tracked
Tracking numbers come from the store emails you forward, and units show as on the way to the prep center with the expected date.
Counted at the prep center
See what arrived, close out anything wrong, missing or damaged, and turn it into a store refund claim. Units show as at the prep center.
Sent to Amazon and checked
Units move to on the way to Amazon, then at Amazon, and the morning check compares every listing with Amazon's own count.
Where ArgoDeck goes further
The jobs you do in InventoryLab today, connected to the rest of your business.
A repricer in the same account
The repricer lives next to your inventory and works out each listing's min and max from its cost and Amazon's fees for that SKU. No second app to sign into.
Know where every unit is
With you, on the way to your prep center, at the prep center, on the way to Amazon or at Amazon, with the money tied up at each step. See the inventory page.
Prep center inbounds, created for you
Record a purchase for an FBA listing and ArgoDeck creates the inbound at your prep center by itself. A new product joins the inbound as soon as its listing is submitted. Works with prep centers on PrepBusiness.
Checked against Amazon every day
Every morning ArgoDeck compares its stock with Amazon's for each listing, fixes units in the wrong place and lists what it can't explain.
Alerts that come with the fix
Sixteen alert types, from a hijacker on your listing to a shipment Amazon received short, ranked by money at stake with the steps to fix each one.
Your team, with the right access
Invite a manager, a VA or a viewer. Choose which pages each person can open and what they can do, and hide profit from anyone who shouldn't see it.
Keep your Google Sheet
Keep logging buys in your Google Sheet. Pick the rows, preview and import, and ArgoDeck can write the new SKU back into your sheet.
Money back, ready to claim
Refunds matched with their returns and reimbursements, with the claim text written for you. See profit analytics.
Where InventoryLab is ahead today
We'd rather you hear it from us. If these matter most to you, InventoryLab may suit you better for now.
Shipment plans in the app
InventoryLab builds the Amazon inbound plan and box content labels for you. In ArgoDeck you create the shipment in Seller Central, then box, scan and record tracking in ArgoDeck.
A sourcing scanner
InventoryLab works with the Scoutify mobile app for scanning in the store. ArgoDeck's sourcing scanner is still in development.

InventoryLab alternative questions
What sellers ask before they switch.
Is ArgoDeck a good InventoryLab alternative?
If you use InventoryLab to record purchases, track cost and list on Amazon, ArgoDeck does those jobs and adds a repricer, alerts and profit reports in the same account. If you rely on InventoryLab to build Amazon shipment plans or on Scoutify for sourcing, InventoryLab is ahead on those today.
Can I import my InventoryLab data?
Yes. During setup you upload your InventoryLab export, and your purchase history and costs are matched to the listings ArgoDeck reads from your Amazon account. You see a preview before anything is saved.
Do I still need a separate repricer?
No. The repricer is part of ArgoDeck and works out each listing's min and max price from your cost and Amazon's fees for that SKU.
Does ArgoDeck print FNSKU labels?
Not yet. You print FNSKU labels from Seller Central. ArgoDeck shows the FNSKU once Amazon assigns it and lets you scan units into boxes.
Does ArgoDeck create Amazon shipment plans?
Not yet. You create the shipment in Seller Central, then box, scan and record the carrier and tracking in ArgoDeck, and the units move to on the way to Amazon.
Can my VA use ArgoDeck without seeing my profit?
Yes. Invite them with the VA role, choose which pages they can open, and turn off profit. Profit numbers are removed before they ever reach their screen.
Does ArgoDeck create inbounds at my prep center?
Yes, for prep centers on the PrepBusiness platform. Record a purchase for an FBA listing and the inbound is created for you, and a new product joins it as soon as its listing is submitted.
Can I keep logging buys in my Google Sheet?
Yes. Pick the rows, preview them and import. ArgoDeck can write the new SKU back into your sheet.
How does the price compare?
ArgoDeck is free under $5K a month in sales, then $79, $149 or $199 a month depending on sales, with every module included. InventoryLab lists $69 a month on its own, without a repricer.
How much does ArgoDeck cost?
Every plan includes inventory, the repricer, alerts and profit analytics. Sellers doing under $5K a month use it free, with no card needed.
