In a strategic move to strengthen its position in the Amazon-focused supply chain sector, ZonPrep, a leading FBA prep partner, has acquired both Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio, the software platforms it has long relied on for managing inbound logistics. The acquisition marks a significant step for ZonPrep, enabling it to integrate and enhance the technologies that power its operations, while ensuring the continued smooth operation for existing users.

"ZonPrep has been a customer of Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio for years, so we have a deep understanding of the capabilities and challenges these platforms address," said Kayvon Nazarian, founder of ZonPrep. "By bringing these platforms under our ownership, we can now combine the best of Amazon inbound technology with our physical fulfillment infrastructure, potentially streamlining and accelerating the movement of inventory into Amazon."

The acquisition comes as ZonPrep expands its operations, with a second warehouse in McDonough, Georgia, increasing its total floor space to 600,000 square feet. This expansion, coupled with the software acquisition, positions ZonPrep to handle an increased volume of 1 million units per day, making it well-equipped to manage complex inbound logistics projects.

Wizard-Industries, founded in 2015, has been at the forefront of developing software for Amazon inbound logistics, focusing on shipment creation, FNSKU labeling, pack validation, and multi-warehouse routing across the FBA and AWD networks. FNSKU Studio, on the other hand, brings Amazon FBA prep, FNSKU labeling, and warehouse operations into a unified browser-based platform, supporting brands, 3PLs, and refurbishers.

"ZonPrep has been a significant user of our platforms at scale, and we believe that their team's understanding of the technology and the industry challenges will enable us to take our products to the next level," said Mikhail Ledvich, founder of Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio. "Our aim is to support the growth of the customers who depend on these platforms, and we are confident that ZonPrep is the right partner to do so."

Both Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio will continue to operate under their own names and will remain accessible to the sellers, prep centers, and 3PLs already utilizing them. This move by ZonPrep ensures that current users can continue to benefit from the tools they rely on, while ZonPrep can leverage the acquired technology to enhance its services.

"Amazon logistics is becoming increasingly complex, and we believe that companies that own both the physical infrastructure and the technology behind it are best positioned to succeed," Nazarian added. "Acquiring Wizard-Industries and FNSKU Studio is a crucial step in that strategy, giving us an advantage as we continue to build ZonPrep into the leading infrastructure platform for Amazon sellers."

ZonPrep, known for its focus on Amazon-focused supply chain and FBA prep, operates 600,000 square feet across two warehouses in McDonough, Georgia, and ships over 20 million units into Amazon each month for 200+ brands. The company is listed as a carrier in Amazon Carrier Central and holds a maximum prep SLA of 72 hours, 365 days a year.

"Owning both the physical and digital sides of the Amazon inbound process allows us to offer a seamless and efficient solution for our clients," Nazarian concluded. "This acquisition is an important milestone in our journey to become the leading infrastructure platform for Amazon sellers."
