- Company: ZenART Supplies (global Amazon brand, US/UK/EU)
- Challenge: Fragmented FBA data, error-prone FIFO/COGS, delayed accounting, multi-currency landed costs
- NeonPanel Impact: Reliable FBA ledger reconciliation, true FIFO COGS, faster month-close, real-time stock visibility, and a reporting stack that scales with the business (qualitative outcomes per client input)
The challenge
Operating across the US, UK, and EU, ZenART needed a single source of truth for inventory, costs, and accounting. Their attempts to use generalist inventory tools didn’t pan out: even basic FBA data couldn’t be reliably extracted, which led to spreadsheet workarounds, approximate FIFO/COGS, and month-end delays. With multi-currency freight and service invoices, landed cost accuracy was inconsistent—risking distorted P&L and tax exposure.
Why ZenART chose NeonPanel
ZenART selected NeonPanel for its Amazon-first architecture and deep finance integration:
- Seamless FBA & AWD ingestion across marketplaces (US/UK/EU), including shipment status, SKUs, and ledger alignment—so operations and accounting reconcile to the same underlying Amazon ledger.
- True FIFO + landed cost engine that allocates freight, duties, and handling per batch and calculates COGS precisely at time of sale; retroactive corrections reflow automatically for audit accuracy.
- Direct Xero sync for invoices, bills, inventory journals, and COGS—cutting manual exports and “approximate” spreadsheets out of the process.
- Multi-currency landed costs (USD/GBP/EUR) with customizable allocation rules—critical for cross-border supply chains.
- Real-time inventory visibility at FBA fulfillment centers, plus AWD and in-transit tracking for faster reimbursement detection.
- Reporting & forecasting built for CFOs and operators: SKU profitability, inventory audits, reconciliation views, and due-diligence-ready P&Ls.
How we co-built the solution
ZenART didn’t just adopt NeonPanel—they were instrumental in developing our Xero integration with us. Starting from a clean slate, we ran weekly working sessions with ZenART’s finance lead: mapping services to the chart of accounts, defining journal structures for inventory/COGS, and validating true FIFO across cross-border batches. As edge cases surfaced—multi-currency freight allocations, retroactive corrections, reconciliation to the Amazon ledger—we baked the rules into the product. The result is what ZenART runs today: direct Xero sync, defensible landed costs, and audit-ready FIFO that reflects reality at the batch level.
