If you build what you sell, planning has meant exporting to a spreadsheet and working the math by hand — which finished goods to build, which components that build will burn through, what's already on order, and what you still need to buy before you run short. SKU's old demand suggestions only ever looked at the finished product one level deep; they never opened up the recipe underneath. Material Requirements Planning replaces that with a full multi-level engine: one run explodes every bill of materials, nets each part against everything you have and everything that's coming, and hands you dated planned orders to make, buy, and transfer — all in one place.

You've placed the order, the goods are on their way, and in many cases you've already paid a deposit up front — but the supplier's tax invoice never landed in your inbox. Those missing invoices quietly pile up: your books don't reconcile, you can't reclaim the VAT/GST on money you've already spent, and chasing them means digging through purchase orders one by one to work out who still owes you paperwork. Request Missing Invoices from Suppliers turns that scramble into a one-click ask. SKU now surfaces every purchase order still waiting on its invoice in a dedicated worklist, and lets you email the supplier a polished request — for a single order, or for all of their outstanding orders at once.

When a supplier asks for a deposit or prepayment, the proforma invoice usually lands in someone's inbox — and everything after that happens over email: forward it to whoever pays, re-key the wire details into the bank, then remember to send proof back. Details get lost, nobody can say who approved a five-figure wire or against which PO, and swapped bank details in an intercepted email thread are the classic way overseas payments get stolen. Vendor Deposit Payments pulls the whole flow into SKU — record the supplier's proforma invoice against a purchase order, request payment from a designated payer with the wire instructions attached, capture the payment proof, and email the supplier a remittance advice — with every step on the record.

Every business has that one question the standard reports can't quite answer — "on-hand value by product this month", "revenue by channel and brand", "which SKUs are moving and what are they worth". Until now, answering it meant exporting to a spreadsheet or asking someone to build a report for you. The new Custom Report Builder lets you answer those questions yourself: pick the data, drag the fields you care about, and get a live table, chart, or pivot in seconds — no spreadsheets, no waiting.

If you sell supplements, food, cosmetics, pet products, or anything else with a shelf life, you need to know exactly which batch is on the shelf, when it expires, and whether you're shipping the soonest-to-expire stock first. Until now SKU could only capture that detail inside manufacturing. Lot & Expiry Tracking brings batch numbers and expiration dates to the entire platform — capture them when you receive, pick the right lots automatically, and see what's expiring (and what it's worth) before it becomes a problem.

Quoting a customer used to mean creating a sales order, flagging it as a quote, and then remembering to filter those quotes back out of every list, total, and report. There was no real quote lifecycle, no clean way to track what you'd sent, and "converting" a quote to an order was a flag flip that could quietly let the price drift before the order was worked. Quotes are now a first-class part of SKU.io — with their own workspace, their own status lifecycle, a branded quote document, and a one-click, price-locked conversion to a sales order.

Sending an FBA replenishment through a 3PL or supplier has always meant a scramble of emails — FNSKU labels in one attachment, box-content rules in another, prep instructions pasted into a note, and a separate back-and-forth just to confirm anything actually shipped. FBA Inbound for 3PLs & Suppliers replaces all of that with one clean handoff. When an inbound plan is sourced from a 3PL warehouse or a supplier, SKU.io packages everything the recipient needs into a single branded portal and emails them the link. And when a line is a kit your 3PL still has to assemble, SKU.io spells out exactly what to build and allocates the components so you can't oversell them.

If you fulfill through Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), the stock Walmart holds for you has always been a blind spot in SKU — you had to jump back into Seller Center to see quantities, plan replenishment, and put together an inbound shipment. Walmart Fulfillment Services support closes that gap: turn it on for your Walmart integration and SKU gives you a live view of your WFS inventory, a guided workflow to build and send inbound shipments, and end-to-end tracking of those shipments into Walmart's fulfillment centers.

Advertising is usually an Amazon seller's biggest variable cost after the product itself — but until now it lived in a separate tab, invisible to your profitability inside SKU.io. A product could look healthy on margin while quietly losing money once ad spend was counted, and the only way to see the truth was exporting ad reports and inventory reports and joining them by hand in a spreadsheet. Amazon Ads cost attribution closes that gap: connect your Amazon Advertising account and SKU.io automatically pulls your Sponsored Products spend, attributes it to the exact SKU it was spent on, and turns it into real product-level costs — so your contribution margin and ACoS finally include the cost of the ads that drove the sales.

Building an FBA shipment used to mean bouncing between SKU.io, a spreadsheet, and Seller Central — figure out what to send, create a plan in SKU.io, then leave to do packing, placement, carriers, and labels by hand. The most error-prone steps happened outside your system of record, and a multi-SKU shipment could eat an afternoon.

Now you can run the entire Amazon FBA inbound workflow inside SKU.io — from "what should I send?" all the way to "tracking numbers submitted, labels printed." Smart item selection, box content, placement-fee comparison, carrier booking, label printing, and receiving reconciliation are all in one guided flow.
