Nu Price Repricer is a new, yet promising competitor. It has a basic-looking platform but has good functionality. It offers to reprice your inventory using a non-complicated process that can work well with the common kinds of OS like Mac and Windows.
Automated API Repricing
Normally, repricers use Amazon's API to make calls for each product in your inventory and Amazon returns to them the pricing information for that specific book. The issue with this is that the information Amazon returns is limited to the lowest 15-20 offers. This means that if you are trying to be competitive with other FBA offers and there are more than 15 merchant fulfilled offers lower than the first prime price, your repricer won't be able to see any of the prime prices.
This is the case in 86% of all books currently ranked under 3 million on Amazon. This mean that 86% of the time your repricer is repricing your inventory without viewing a single FBA price.
Manual Amazon Repricing
Another option you have aside from paying monthly fees for an API repricer with blind spots on 86% of your inventory is to reprice all of your Amazon inventory manually. This method gives you full visibility into each product and you can see all of the offers every time to make the most educated pricing decision possible.
The biggest issue with this method of repricing is the time it takes to reprice each item manually (especially as your inventory grows). The normal work flow would look something like this:
Click product link within your manage inventory page > view merchant fulfilled offer > check box to view FBA offers > view Keepa graph > navigate to product information page to see used buy box > back to manage inventory page > manually type in your new price > click save > move on to reprice next item.
As you probably already know, manual repricing is a headache and unless you only have a couple hundred items in inventory, isn't feasible for most of us.
The NuPrice Alternative
And thus, NuPrice was born. NuPrice is the sweet spot between manual repricing and automated repricing. You get the full visibility and lower cost of manual repricing, without the blind spots and higher costs of API repricing.
Let's take a look at what the tool looks like and how it operates.
Developed for Windows and Mac
NuPrice works on both Windows and Mac computers for easy repricing.
The Information Row
In the images below you can see each point of the information display within the tool. Let's break down each item and how it can help you quickly understand the exact product you are repricing.
In this first image, you can see it displays your custom SKU. This is the SKU you created when you listed your item on Amazon. You can sort by SKU simply by clicking on the top of the SKU column.
The next block of information contains your product title, fulfillment method (merchant fulfilled or fulfilled by Amazon), the item condition, as well as a link with the items ASIN for quick viewing on Amazon if desired.
After that we see one of my favorite bits of information, the "Days In Inventory" number. This number displays the days that current item has been sitting in your inventory. If your anything like me, you hate doing the math in your head when looking at a date to see how long that item has been in your inventory. I personally have rules for products that have been in my inventory 180 days vs 365 days and so on.
Having the ability to not only see this number but sort your products by it allows you to reprice your oldest items first and then dispose of items that you no longer want.
The following piece of information you see if the current rank of the product (soon to be eScore). The rank is color coded specifically for book sellers to give you a quick idea of the sales velocity for that specific product.
Ranks between 0-1.5 million are green, 1.5-3 million are orange, and 3 million and up are red.
Pricing
NuPrice has two options, a monthly plan or a yearly plan. The monthly plan starts at $14.95 and the yearly plan is $129. For a limited launch special you can get locked in at a yearly rate of $99.
