Everything in one tool

Scan the pile. Keep only the books worth listing.

Every scan gets a verdict against your own rules, big enough to read from across the desk, with the reason beside it. Only the books you keep join the batch, so the keepers are never scanned a second time. Scout runs on the ScanHub website, at your desk, with a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner.

• KeepPasses every rule you set.
• SkipNames the rule it failed and by how much, such as “Rank 2.1M, over your 1M limit”.
• Insufficient dataA number one of your rules needs is missing, such as no sales history. A book with no live price on Amazon is always Insufficient data, because its profit cannot be confirmed.
• GatedNeeds Amazon’s approval to sell. Caught at the scan and never added.

• Three rules, each optional: minimum profit, maximum sales rank, and minimum sold in the last 180 days. A blank rule is not checked. Set them in Settings or right on the bench, and the verdicts on screen update the moment you change one.
• Six numbers on every card: price, est. profit, sales rank, sold in the last 180 days, average price over 180 days, and the offer count, with the current FBA and merchant offers listed cheapest first.
• Est. profit is the price less Amazon's fees, before what you paid for the book.
• Space adds the book on the card, and scanning the next one skips it. A Skip or Insufficient data can still go in with Add anyway, and a book Amazon does not find with Add as manual row.
• Auto-add puts every Keep in the batch on its own, with Undo on the card.
• Recent scans keeps your last eight, each with its verdict and an Add, for the good one you skipped.
• A running count of books scanned and kept, beside what the batch holds in books, units and est. profit.
• A sound for a Keep, a miss and a gated book, so you can sort a pile by ear.
• Then review, pack and ship like any batch.

List from the first scan

Point the scanner at a barcode and the book comes back from Amazon in seconds. Rank, price and whether you can sell it are on screen, so you decide and list in one step.

• Three batch modes. Classic to review before you submit, Turbo to list every book the moment you scan it, Scout to keep only the books that pass your rules.
• Instant Amazon lookup on any ISBN. Title, cover and sales rank, back in seconds.
• Five conditions with abbreviation codes, and a price matched to the buy box before you have typed anything.
• Restricted books caught at the scan. A book that needs approval goes to its own bin with a link to apply in Seller Central, and stays out of the batch.
• SKU, condition note and source carried on every item, so nothing has to be named twice. Estimated profit builds as the batch does.

Your pack queue is ready when you are

No book is scanned twice. The books you listed are the books in the queue, in the order you scanned them, waiting at the table with their labels ready to print.

• No second scan. The queue is built from the books you scanned.
• Print one label or fifty in a click, through ScanHub's own print agent. No QZ Tray.
• Every copy knows its box, so each box's contents are tracked as you pack.
• Box weights go in here and carry straight into the FBA shipment you send from ScanHub.
• Check-in after it ships. See what Amazon received against what you sent, per shipment, and which books came up short.

A repricer, built in

Most listing tools need a separate repricer. ScanHub's is part of the same product on the Pro and Scale plans, and it prices the books you listed with it. Choose one of three strategies.

• PatientHolds out for a better price. Never goes below 90% of the book’s 90-day buy box average, and ignores moves under 25 cents.
• BalancedDefaultGoes down to 82% of the 90-day buy box average and acts on any difference, down to a penny.
• CompetitiveSells sooner. Follows the market down to 74% of the 90-day buy box average.

• Runs automatically on our servers, about once an hour. Nothing needs to stay open.
• Buy box targeting, so your offers stay competitive on the listings where it decides the sale.
• A floor under every book, worked out from Amazon's own fees, so no book is priced below what it costs to sell on Amazon.
