Distribution: where Amazon placed your units

Distribution shows where Amazon placed your units across its fulfillment centers, including Amazon's own transfers between them. It reads your Amazon account through PrepVia's SP-API integration, and it leads to Plan a wave when you want to ship in waves.

What it shows

  • Your units at Amazon, in four numbers

    Units at Amazon in every warehouse, the warehouses holding them, the units Amazon can sell now and the damaged or defective ones.

  • By fulfillment center and by product

    Two tables: how many units each fulfillment center holds, and where each product sits.

  • A map, day by day

    A heat map of where your units are, with a slider to go back day by day.

  • How fast Amazon receives your shipments

    From the FBA shipments PrepVia sent for you: how long it takes until half, 75% and 90% of the units are located at Amazon.
