"We are new to selling on FBA."
RULE #1: Don't send any products to FBA until you have test sold the item yourself, FBM. That way you will know the salability of the item and if there is enough profit in the product to pay the FBA fees Amazon will assess, and still make your desired profit.
Why pay for something you get for free?
Amazon's own inventory control in Seller Central does an outstand job for free managing our 50,000 products.
Is there a software which can help us determine if a specific SKU is worth sending to FBA?
There is software out there that claims just to do that. But in reality, there is no silver bullet. After you buy into those programs, you soon realize behind the closed doors, they are being paid by the manufacturer to promote products they suggest. and to make things worse, just like you bought into the suggestions, so did 500 other sellers. So, when you buy the product just like they did, no sellers make any real profit.
Your best solution is to attend a manufacturer trade show. One of the best, where Amazon shops and national box stores around the country shop, is the ASD Show in Las Vegas, Feb 2024. It only costs showing your retail license to get inside.
There you will find 1000's of manufacturers displaying millions of different products. YOU will find the wholesale cost of just about everything in any store. Now, equipped with that information, YOU can decide what is a good fit for YOU.
The reality of what YOU seek, comes from YOURSELF, if you know where to look, not any software.
