What AMZ Prep does

AMZ Prep is a privately held, independently owned global prep center and 3PL fulfillment network headquartered in Brampton, Canada, operating 50+ warehouse locations across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia. The company serves more than 2,000 eCommerce brands with services spanning Amazon FBA prep (FNSKU labeling, poly bagging, kitting, inbound freight), DTC order fulfillment, B2B retail distribution, Seller Fulfilled Prime, cold storage across three temperature zones, and international freight forwarding, processing over 8 million units monthly at a 99.8% order accuracy rate and a 24-hour FBA prep turnaround.

The technology stack is built on three proprietary platforms: Navigate (warehouse management and real-time inventory visibility), Mission Control (B2B fulfillment and EDI orchestration), and Prep Parcel (zone-skipping shipping optimization), supplemented by an AI-driven fulfillment engine for inventory routing and an AI Smart Cartonization module for dimensional weight reduction. The platform connects to 50+ sales channels and carriers via direct API and EDI integrations, including Amazon Seller Central, Walmart Seller Center, Shopify, TikTok Shop, SPS Commerce, and CommerceHub, and is supported by SOC 2 Type II, ISO 9001:2015, FDA-registered, cGMP, and GDPR compliance certifications.

AMZ Prep generates revenue through a hybrid model combining per-unit pricing for FBA prep (starting at $0.40/unit), per-transaction fees for DTC pick-and-pack and freight forwarding (ocean FCL from $1,500/container; air from $3.80/kg), monthly storage subscriptions ($0.20-$0.60 per cubic foot depending on temperature zone), and custom enterprise contracts for B2B retail and aggregator clients. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting brands processing 300+ monthly orders, self-serve quote onboarding via the website, channel partnerships with Amazon SFP, Walmart WFS, Shopify, and eCommerce agencies, and content-led demand generation through blogs, podcasts (Logistics Lounge, Supply Chain Therapy, Ship Happens), and earned media. The company was founded in 2016 by Rizwan Kermalli (Founder, President, and CEO) and has grown without disclosed institutional funding, with corporate attribution to Fulfill Labs.
