Acorn: SaaS for Amazon sellers

Greenwald Brands ran a 7-figure Amazon wholesale business on third-party tools and Google Sheets. We built Acorn as their internal system, then turned it into a SaaS for Amazon sellers.

Challenge

  • Operations ran on multiple third-party online tools and numerous Google Sheets.
  • Product research, reordering and restocking to Amazon were slow daily tasks.
  • The client wanted one multi-module system for wholesale selling on Amazon.
02

Environment

  • Ohio-based 7-figure Amazon wholesaler with a growing team and warehouse.
  • Over 70 SP-API data points needed for product analysis.
  • Warehouse receiving with barcode scanning and expiration dates to verify.
03

Intervention

  • Mapped existing processes across third-party tools and spreadsheets.
  • Digitised the Google Sheets workflow into one product with SP-API data.
  • Added barcode scanner support and expiration date verification.
  • Implemented, trained the team, then turned the system into a SaaS.
04

Outcome

  • Product monitoring and analysis, ordering and restocking are automated.
  • Warehouse and finances are managed in the same system.
  • Acorn was later offered to other Amazon sellers as a subscription SaaS.
Spreadsheets and third-party tools are replaced by Acorn, which pulls SP-API product data and serves product research, reordering, warehouse scanning and finance modules.replacedreplacedGOOGLE SHEETSBefore3P TOOLSBeforeSP-API70+ data pointsACORNMulti-module SaaSRESEARCHProduct analysisREORDERINGRestock to AmazonWAREHOUSEBarcode / expiryFINANCETracking
