Unified View of FBA, AWD, and Warehouses
Keeping track of inventory across FBA, Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD), and multiple warehouses is time-consuming and prone to errors. Finale consolidates stock levels in one live view, showing available, in-transit, and problem inventory across all locations. With clear visibility and multi-region support, sellers can prevent stockouts, balance inventory efficiently, and reduce manual work in Seller Central with all the information they need at a glance.
Pricing
FBA inventory management features are included in Finale’s Amazon integration.
Amazon is free to use when included as one of your first 5 integrations; $72/month if added as a 6th+ integration.
FBA Replenishment Planning
Amazon’s restock suggestions don’t account for inventory across your whole operation and all your selling channels, leading to over-ordering and unnecessary storage fees. Finale calculates precise stock transfers based on live inventory levels across FBA, AWD, and your warehouse, ensuring the right quantity is replenished at the right time, improving your FBA sell-through rate. With a complete picture of your inventory, Finale provides more accurate and reliable restock recommendations than Amazon Seller Central alone.
FBA Inbound Shipment Management
Tracking FBA inbound shipments manually is time-consuming and unreliable, often leading to inventory mismatches and financial reporting headaches. Finale streamlines this process by integrating mobile barcode scanning for accurate picking and packing of FBA-bound shipments. This reduces human error by validating scanned items against intended shipment contents in real-time, while end-to-end shipment tracking provides clear visibility from warehouse dispatch to Amazon’s final ‘Received’ confirmation.
FBA Reconciliation
Finale’s automated FBA reconciliation feature detects inventory discrepancies instantly, providing alerts and comprehensive shipment tracking. This ensures accurate stock records and simplifies the process of filing claims for lost, damaged, and misplaced goods.
Amazon AWD
Consolidate AWD and FBA inventory data, eliminate spreadsheets, and reduce storage fee risk. Optimize storage costs and maintain product availability with automated AWD replenishment recommendations. Send purchase orders to AWD to take advantage of lower-cost storage and reduce FBA transfers.
FBA Inventory Valuation & COGS
Know the value of your stock across unlimited locations, even in transit. With built-in accounting tools, automated COGS calculations, and seamless accounting integrations like QuickBooks and A2X, gain precise financial insights without manual data entry.
We’ve cut our FBA fulfillment time in half while saving on labor costs, shipping costs, inbound shipment costs, and nearly avoiding all Amazon inventory fees.

Amazon FBA integration FAQs
How can Finale’s Amazon FBA Inventory Management software help to fix my sunk costs problem?
Finale helps reduce unnecessary inventory carrying costs in Amazon FBA and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) by optimizing inventory levels and preventing overstocking. By analyzing sales velocity and setting dynamic reorder points, Finale ensures you only send the right amount of inventory to Amazon, reducing long-term storage fees. Additionally, Finale’s multi-warehouse tracking helps you shift inventory between locations, avoiding excess fees from aged stock while improving cash flow.
How is Amazon’s data connected to Finale?
Finale receives information via the Amazon API. Finale connects directly to Amazon and Amazon FBA, syncing inventory and order activity into Finale so you can manage stock levels, replenishment, and fulfillment in one place. Finale synchronizes inventory across channels in near real time. Orders are imported every five minutes, and the replenishment module helps you restock before inventory runs out.
How can Finale help me to reduce excess Amazon inventory and dead stock?
Finale helps reduce excess inventory in Amazon FBA by providing real-time stock tracking, sales velocity analysis, and automated reorder point recommendations. By analyzing historical orders and sales, Finale predicts inventory needs and suggests optimal restocking levels to prevent over-ordering and over-transferring. Additionally, it integrates with Amazon to track inventory performance, helping you identify slow-moving products and adjust purchasing decisions accordingly.
Can Finale support Amazon’s Multi-Channel Fulfillment program (MCF)?
Finale does not currently support Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment. What Finale does help with is keeping your Amazon inventory visible and synchronized across the channels you do connect, so you can make better replenishment and stocking decisions based on accurate inventory data.
Can Finale update Amazon fulfillment latency or lead time?
Yes. Finale can update Amazon fulfillment latency (also known as ‘lead time’) for listings that require custom shipping timing. When this setting is enabled, Finale includes the lead time in the regular inventory update feed so Amazon can display the appropriate processing time on the listing.
