— Onboarding sequence —

Six steps.
About sixty days.

01

Discovery call

Thirty minutes. We learn the catalog, current Amazon situation, engagement-model intent. You learn whether VendorSprout is a fit and which model makes sense. Output: agreed candidate SKU set.

Week 1

02

SKU fit review

Unit-economic analysis per SKU. Category placement, dimensional weight, S&S eligibility, vendor-side reporting fit. Output: confirmed candidate set with per-SKU notes.

Week 1–2

03

Wholesale terms + pricing

Per-SKU wholesale pricing, case packs, MOQs, lead times, payment terms (Net 45 default). Wholesale supply agreement executed. FBA inventory transition plan agreed.

Week 2–3

04

Catalog + EDI setup

SKUs mapped to our Vendor Central catalog against the same ASINs. Brand registry coordination. A+ Content sync. EDI 850/856/810 configured if you have it; email POs if not.

Week 3–5

05

First PO

Amazon issues us a PO. We issue you a corresponding PO. You ship to our designated receiving location. We ship to Amazon's fulfillment network.

Week 5–7

06

Live on Amazon.ca

SKUs go live as Sold by Amazon.ca. Buy Box ours. Prime eligible. Rankings and reviews preserved on the ASIN. Regular PO cadence from here.

Week 7–9

After launch — quarterly review cadence

Once SKUs are live on Amazon.ca, the engagement settles into a recurring rhythm:

Monthly performance summaries. PO velocity, sell-through, Buy Box win rate, category rank, vendor-side metrics. Shared by email; on-demand access to underlying data for brands that want it.

Quarterly cross-team review. One scheduled call per quarter with the brand-side team (and your agency or consultant if applicable). Performance review on the SKUs in scope; any expansion or contraction conversations; A+ Content refresh planning; preparation for Amazon's annual vendor cycle.

Annual vendor negotiation cycle. Amazon's category managers run an annual negotiation with all vendors in the category. We handle the negotiation on your behalf; we surface the outcomes and any commercial implications to you afterward.

Ongoing SKU sort conversations. The right SKU set evolves over time — new products launched, old products retired, unit economics shift. We revisit the sort quarterly and adjust the channel split as catalog circumstances change.

WHAT THE BRAND'S OPERATIONAL LIFT LOOKS LIKE

Heaviest during the onboarding 60 days — discovery, SKU fit, wholesale agreement, EDI setup. After launch, the brand-side lift is modest: respond to our POs at the agreed cadence, ship to our receiving location, attend the quarterly cross-team call. The Amazon-specific operational layer (Vendor Central, AVN, chargebacks, A+ Content maintenance, vendor negotiations) stays with us.
