The analysis of individual products can be very annoying, it takes days to weeks to analyze a whole store and probably even some profitable products are missed or not found at all.
That's why we wanted to do it differently. We want to provide the user with such a good user interface that it is super easy to analyze stores in order to find as many and profitable products as possible. That can later be sold on Amazon or other platforms at a profit. Our product is designed for Amazon, but there are also many products that are also profitable on other marketplaces such as Kaufland or Ebay.
The table simplifies your analysis, it helps you to sort and filter several thousand products according to your preferences and to pick the best results.
Are you looking for products with a 8% profit margin, at least 5€ profit each and a sales rank percentage lower than 1%?
That's absolutely no problem. We show you all products from your favorite/scanned store within a few seconds. We calculate all Amazon fees directly in our table and show you the most important KPIs in the arbitrage game. No software has ever made it so easy for you to find new products.
If you start at the top right in the corner, you will see the settings, columns and filters.
Individual/Global Switch:
With this switch you can swap between individual and Global settings
Individual settings: These are settings regarding the your searching table and are set back after every search
Global settings: These are settings regarding the your searching table that saved and always applied at your search
FBA/FBM Switch:
One of the most important components when analyzing are the settings, here you can switch once between Amazon FBA and FBM, which means that the fees are calculated differently. FBA and FBM differ in terms of profit, so it is important to decide whether I want to sell my product FBA or with FBM. FBM can be particularly worthwhile for larger and heavier products. When switched to FBM a new filter will be available, Shipping Costs.
FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon): A service where you send your goods to Amazon. Amazon then takes care of all the rest for you, including storage, packaging, shipping and customer service - a model in which the seller is responsible for the storage, packaging, shipping and customer service of their products.
FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant): A model in which the seller himself is responsible for the storage, packaging, shipping and customer service of his products.

With this feature you can choose between products with a active, not active Amazon-BuyBox.

Mix: Here we show you all products, both Instock and sold out products.
Discount Percentage %:
Often there are various discounts on websites that you can use, here you have found a 10% newsletter voucher on Flaconi, for example. You enter 10% in the field and all data will be recalculated. Also don't forget to use and calculate with Cashback. Many websites have good Cashback rates and you can make thousands back by using those!

Amazon Fulfillment Type
Here you can switch between the EFN and PAN EU Fulfillment type.
EFN: Uses the Amazon fulfillment centres in your country [standard]

Prep Fee €:
You have the chance to send all your products to a so-called Prep Center, which will then label the product for you and prepare it for Amazon shipping. Many Prep Centers charge a "Prep Fee" e.g. 1€ per product. You can also enter this prep fee in the settings to get an even more accurate sourcing result so that all your costs for the product purchase are taken into account.
Shipping costs €:
Here, you can specify the shipping cost per item to deliver the product to your customer.
When you open the columns you have the chance to switch them on and off during research, you also have the possibility to customize your table in real time, which means you can reposition the different tabs so that you have the most important KPIs in view. If you have annoying tabs, you can simply hide them with a double click.
In the table, you'll find various sections. At the forefront are the Actions, which are fixed and remain in place. This means they cannot be moved. In this section we also have
The other elements within the table can be rearranged at any time. Simply press and hold on the tab and move it to your desired location, similar to how you would in the columns.
You also have the option to filter in real-time without having to set an active filter. Simply click on the three lines next to the category and select your filter.
Detailed explanations of the filters can be found further below. You have the flexibility to customize your table as you wish. For instance, by clicking on 'Supplier Price' or 'ROI', you can sort in ascending or descending order, providing a clearer overview."
Heart Icon: Use this to mark a product as a favorite and add it directly to your favorites list for later purchase or further review.

Warning Icon: Check if the brand is known for intellectual property (IP) complaints. This serves as a warning about brands that cannot be resold or might restrict you from listing their products.
As you may have already noticed, filters are a crucial component for the success of your sourcing strategy, which is why we have implemented them into our system.
To create a filter that you would like to apply on a page or during a Multi Search, for instance, the process is as follows:
Firstly, click on the "Filters" icon located at the top of the interface. Here, you will have the option to create a new preset by clicking the "Create" button.
This preset can be applied on any page where a table is present, such as in Multi Search or Private Search functions. This means you can pre-configure your filters at your convenience, take the time you need to see how they work effectively.
For our example, we'll name our preset according to our specific goals — we're aiming for a 10% margin and a €5 profit per unit.
The name of our filter will be "10% Margin, €5 Profit each"
Now we have the opportunity to add a variety of filters. You truly have the capability to filter whatever you desire, whether it be brands, ROI, sales rank, or even ensuring that you only see offers with fewer than three sellers on Amazon. You have the flexibility to tailor each filter to your exact preferences.
We've set our filter to target a minimum margin of 10%, but we're also interested in capturing anything that exceeds that threshold. That's why we have selected 'Greater or Equal (>=) 10' for the margin.
For Net Profit, we're aiming for at least €5 per unit, so we've chosen 'Greater or Equal (>=) 5' for this parameter.
Additionally, each data field comes with an explanation of its function to assist you in customization. For instance, you could filter by brands or exclude certain items. You might use expressions like "Does not contain Whiskas" to filter out that brand of cat food, or "contains Lego" to specifically include LEGO products.
You have nearly infinite options at your disposal.
It's crucial that once you've adjusted your filter settings, you must click "Save" to immediately store your configurations.
A green notification will appear in the lower-left corner to confirm that everything has worked successfully. If there's something missing or if additional information is required, you'll see a red alert instead.
To apply the filter to your selected area, simply click on the "Filters" button again and select the new filter you've created.
Once the filter is selected, the filtered results should be displayed immediately. In our example, we are applying the filter on the "Flaconi" page, and everything has been configured as we intended.
You have the flexibility to modify your filter at any time. Simply click on "Filters" and select the filter you wish to adjust. From there, you can delete the selected filter using the trash can icon, duplicate it with the layers icon, edit with the pencil icon, or apply it by clicking "Apply."
If you wish to modify your filter, simply click on the pencil icon. This will allow you to easily change the values or add another filter. Once you've made your adjustments, remember to click "Update" to save your changes.
Filtering a shop has never been this straightforward. We hope you have found this guide clear and helpful. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
We at ProfitPath recommend creating different filters for your use cases, be it a filter for Lego products, Garden, Electronics or different targets such as margin or profit each store. Also exclude Brands and items you don't want to see anymore, like in the example above the Brand "Whiskas".
You can of course also create different filters for different stores or wholesalers that suit you in order to be able to source even faster.
It gives you a decisive advantage over all people without this tool, you can simply recognize profitable deals much faster than anyone else.
That's why we recommend choosing different filter presets that are customized for you to work quickly. Not every filter preset will work straight away, it's really trial and error and you have to dig in to find the best preset for you.
You can find and actively use the table we just discussed in the Multi Search, Supplier Search, and Private Search sections. For each category, there's a dedicated guide available here in the Help Center, designed to fully equip you on your journey to becoming a sourcing expert.
