Working with proxy warehouse providers, Kordspace helped network private warehouses into larger Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) cycles. The work ran in conjunction with myFBAprep and Preptopia, during the pandemic years and the few years before.
Amazon sellers rely on prep centres to receive, label and pack goods before they enter Amazon's network. We connected many independent warehouses so they could act as one larger prep network.
The work grew into related logistics projects, including Fulfilld for FBA-style warehouse workflows and CargoRx for air freight.
The challenge
Sellers needed more prep and storage capacity feeding into Amazon's fulfillment network, especially when demand spiked during the pandemic. Private warehouses had spare space but ran on different systems and processes, and Amazon's inbound rules are strict. Getting them to work as one reliable pipeline meant syncing inventory, shipments and labels across many parties without adding manual work.
Our approach
We mapped proxy and private prep warehouses into shared inbound schedules feeding FBA. We built inventory and shipment sync between provider systems and Amazon Seller Central, and automated labelling, prep and routing handoffs. Capacity was coordinated across the myFBAprep and Preptopia networks so demand could move to wherever space was free.
The outcome
Private warehouse capacity could be used as part of the FBA pipeline through the myFBAprep and Preptopia networks, helping sellers keep stock moving during demand spikes. The same patterns carried into Fulfilld and CargoRx.
Technical highlights
- Mapped proxy and private prep warehouses into shared inbound schedules feeding Fulfillment by Amazon
- Built inventory and shipment sync between provider systems and Amazon Seller Central
- Coordinated capacity across myFBAprep and Preptopia networks during pandemic demand spikes
- Automated labelling, prep and routing handoffs to cut manual touchpoints
- Extended the network with Fulfilld (FBA-style warehouse workflows) and CargoRx (air freight integrated logistics)
