ZonPrep Acquires FNSKU Studio and Wizard-Industries, Deepening Its Investment in Amazon Inbound Logistics

The Amazon-focused supply chain operator now owns the inbound software it has run on for years, and that Amazon sellers, prep centers and 3PLs across the industry run on too. The acquisition will improve the processes and growth of both platforms without affecting current user operations. ZonPrep, an Amazon-focused supply chain and FBA prep specialist, today announced it has acquired Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio software built specifically for inbounding inventory into Amazon. "Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio built two of the best FBA inbounding platforms in the industry. Now we get to make them even better," said Kayvon Nazarian, founder of ZonPrep. ZonPrep was a customer of both platforms before it was an owner. The company now controls the software that moves its own 20 million-plus units into Amazon every month, and that other Amazon sellers, prep centers and 3PLs use to run their inbound operations. "We've been a longtime customer of Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio, so we've seen firsthand how powerful the technology is," said Nazarian. "Bringing these platforms into ZonPrep lets us combine the best Amazon inbound technology in the industry with our physical fulfillment infrastructure. Together, we believe we can move inventory into Amazon faster, more accurately and at greater scale than ever before." Wizard-Industries has been building software for Amazon inbound work since 2015, making it one of the earliest platforms dedicated to the problem. It handles shipment creation, FNSKU labeling, pack validation, multi-warehouse routing and placement decisions across both the FBA and AWD networks. FNSKU Studio brings Amazon prep, labeling, returns processing and warehouse operations into a single browser-based platform used by brands, 3PLs and refurbishers. "When I began building Wizard-Industries in 2015, the goal was to give Amazon operators software that could keep pace with the real-world complexity of inbound logistics," said Mikhail Ledvich, founder of Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio. "ZonPrep has used these platforms in its own operations at tremendous scale, so its team understands both the technology and the problems it was created to solve. I'm confident ZonPrep is the right partner to invest in the products, support the customers who depend on them, and carry them into their next stage of growth." Both platforms continue to operate under their own names, and both remain open to the sellers, prep centers and 3PLs already using them. Owning the physical and the digital sides of the Amazon Inbound process The acquisition follows ZonPrep's expansion to a second warehouse in McDonough, Georgia, which increased the total ZonPrep floor space to 600,000 square feet. This expansion also made space for more dedicated automation, which put ZonPrep's capacity past 1 million units a day. Software is the other half needed to scale at that level. Complex inbound projects require powerful, intelligent software to orchestrate prep before things break down on the warehouse floor. The acquisition ensures ZonPrep can handle split shipments, mixed SKUs, restricted categories, AWD and FBA moving in parallel, and labeling requirements that shift without notice. "Amazon logistics is becoming more complex, not less, and we believe the winners in this industry will be companies that own both the physical infrastructure and the technology behind it," said Nazarian. "Acquiring Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio is an important step in that strategy and gives us another powerful advantage as we continue building ZonPrep into the leading infrastructure platform for Amazon sellers."
