What features it has

Opportunity score

SmartScout’s Opportunity Score is a custom rating from 1 to 10 that evaluates how viable a product is for reselling. It combines multiple metrics such as Amazon presence, sales rank drops, price stability, and stock rate to help you determine product potential quickly.

The breakdown feature shows why a product received its score, helping you learn and refine your sourcing strategy over time. This is especially helpful for beginners and wholesale scouts alike.

Profit calculator

The profit calculator is both simple and advanced. You can toggle between basic margin checks and a full breakdown that includes unit cost, Amazon fees, prep, shipping, and other costs. It’s ideal for understanding ROI before you commit to a buy.

What’s powerful is that it also estimates how many sales you’d likely capture if you were active on a listing calculated using your eligibility and pricing data.

Listing issues drill down

Instant alerts for Private Label, Hazmat, Oversize, Variation-heavy, and Amazon Presence products save you from investing in unviable listings. Each issue is clickable for more details, helping you avoid the biggest pitfalls in sourcing.

You can also toggle which issues you care about most, personalizing your sourcing workflow. It’s a deal-killer detector, plain and simple.

Collections

Forget spreadsheets. Collections let you save and group your researched products within SmartScout. You can save your estimated costs, margins, and opportunity score alongside each product and the data stays live, always synced with Amazon.

This feature is particularly useful for virtual assistants, teams, and agencies that need to share and monitor sourcing lists without duplicating work.

History charts

Track Buy Box price, rating count, average rating, BSR, and offer count over time with clean, interactive visuals. Whether you're checking for price stability or seasonal demand, these charts provide deep insights.

You can easily isolate metrics like New Offer Count or Amazon Price, which makes this a better experience than Keepa for many quick-look tasks.

Quick access product details

ASINs, titles, UPCs all copyable in a single click. You can even Google a UPC directly from the extension. This speeds up external research and avoids manual error when tracking down supplier info.

Linking to the SmartScout web app also allows you to scale up the analysis of similar ASINs or entire brands in seconds.

Brand opportunity finder

This gem helps uncover additional hot products within a brand you’re already analyzing. You’ll see total opportunities, their scores, and eligibility at a glance. Perfect for brand sourcing or building out a wholesale catalog.

Drill down to individual SKUs and export them into your collections or spreadsheet with margin data included.

Saved presets and customization

You can preset default values for inbound shipping, prep costs, and markup preferences. These will auto-fill in the calculator and collections making your analysis consistent and fast.

This flexibility means your team can standardize evaluations and quickly assess bulk leads from sourcing lists, reducing training time and inconsistency.
