Appeagle repricing and inventory sync
Appeagle
We’ve had several requests recently for a good standalone inventory management tool and repricing software, and we think we’ve found a great solution in Appeagle.
Appeagle is is a fully automated intelligent repricing engine and competitive analysis tool for online sellers and has Inventory Sync to ensure you never oversell but can offer all of your inventory on the marketplaces that you trade on. Appeagle tracks each sale and updates the live quantities on all of your listings so that you never have to worry about overselling.
Appeagle Repricing
Appeagle offer two choices for repricing, included in the base cost they will update all your listings according to your pricing rules. For even faster updates Appeagle’s unique Continuous Repricing option will never stop checking your competition and updating your prices. Continuous Repricing keeps you ahead of competition at all times and dramatically increases your chances of winning the Amazon Buy Box.
Of course if you prefer to keep a closer eye on things Appeagle offer a manual repricing option. They’ll still keep retrieving your competition’s pricing so that it’s ready for you to make pricing decisions as and when you wish.
Appeagle also enable you to create group profiles to allow strategic repricing plant customised to business, stock, various marketplaces – it’s intelligent repricing based on good information.
Appeagle Inventory Management
Once you begin selling on more than one marketplace, it becomes increasingly difficult to track and keep your inventory up-to-date across all of your listings. Appeagle Inventory Sync eliminates this problem by tracking each sale and updating the live quantities on all of your listings so that you never have to worry about inventory being out-of-date or overselling. As soon as a sale occurs on one marketplace, Appeagle will immediately update the listings on your other marketplaces.
Currently Appeagle support Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es, eBay.com and Buy.com. Support for European eBay sites is coming later this year with eBay.co.uk and Play.com by end of summer followed by eBay.de, eBay.fr in the Autumn.
Appeagle Costs
Appeagle pricing starts at just $25/month for up to 2,500 listings rising to $50 for 5,000 listings and if you’ve got more than 10,000 listings pricing starts from $100 per month. That includes hourly repricing, but if you want continual repricing there’s a charge of $100 per month on top of your chosen plan.
Of course you can trial Appeagle for free – they don’t even require a credit card during the trial, so you can try Appeagle obligation free on their top plan for up to 10,000 listings. They’ll notify you when your trial is nearing it’s end so that if you wish to continue you can then choose the plan that suits you best and only then enter your billing details. You can also change plan at any time you need to from your account settings page.
Who should use Appeagle
If you sell on one or more supported marketplaces and want repricing, of if you sell on multiple supported marketplaces and want your inventory synched without paying for a full blown multichannel management system then why not start an Appeagle trial today?

This article is interesting, we are looking for just such a solution for our website and eBay shop, has anyone any experience with integrating the software/ setting it up? Planning to trade on Amazon and Play so looking around at the moment for the best solution for us.

Honestly I don’t personally know anyone that uses Appeagle, so what I’d recommend is making use of their free trial for a month to see if it suits your requirements

It looks interesting but there doesn’t seem to be support for eBay.co.uk

Appeagle support for eBay.co.uk and Play.com is on the way and should be here by end of summer with eBay.de and eBay.fr by the end of the year

Summer? What’s that?

Summer ends when the rain stops and the snow starts. It’s the bit between the grey foggy mornings and the days you have to scrape the frost of the car

I did have a look at the appeagle interface and it looks like it will be a great tool at a good price, if it works properly.

Shop around. For the 2nd time in a couple of months Appeagle had a “bug” which repriced my listings to 1 cent. This resulted in hundreds of orders at 1 cent in the span of an hour. Their answer…..sorry. I had to write hundreds of emails and cancel hundreds of orders all affecting my metrics as well as possibly inspiring negative feedback. 2 times in a couple of months. I can’t even get them to call me.

Hi Jimbo,
Unfortunately I do not. I am shopping for an alternative now. If you hear of any good ones please let me know.

Hi Jeff
Do you know if the repricing mishap affected many customers?
Jeff says

I know there were others affected as they have been sending out generic messages on the subject, but I do not know how many. Their message make it appear like it was all, but I do not know. The last message they sent said “Most buyers will not expect the order to be fulfilled and will never follow up with feedback.” ….comforting. We were on it as soon as the first order came through and we shut off immediately, unfortunately there is a delay and we already had hundreds in a pending status that all came across in the next few minutes.

Scarry. I can’t imagine amazon being that sympathetic.
