Is your business ready for Professional-grade accounting?
NeonPanel offers two distinct approaches to inventory tracking and cost management. Essentials automates the basics beautifully. Professional is built for the operational reality of multi-warehouse, multi-entity ecommerce — where the accounting gets complex and the margin for error shrinks.
Two approaches to COGS — one right answer for your stage
Simplified inventory, automated reporting
Essentials operates with a single-entity, simplified inventory model. It automates COGS calculations with batch-level landed cost allocation per order, and pushes clean journal entries to QuickBooks or Xero without requiring you to track individual shipment batches across warehouse locations. For a single-entity seller with straightforward stock movements, this produces fast, reliable financial reporting — with almost zero configuration.
- One legal entity, one fulfilment channel
- No need to track freight or customs per batch
- You want automated books, not a full ops system
Shipment-level costs, multi-entity clarity
Professional tracks inventory at the shipment level — mapping specific freight, duties, and customs to distinct batches across FBA, AWD, 3PLs, and in-transit stock. COGS is calculated using FIFO costing with real landed costs, not estimates. If you operate across multiple warehouses, run more than one entity, or need your P&L to reflect actual per-unit profitability, Professional is the only model that gives you numbers you can act on.
- Multiple warehouses, entities, or sales channels
- You need true landed cost per shipment batch
- Finance team requires audit-ready, entity-level P&L

Signs you've outgrown Essentials
Essentials works until your operations add complexity. These are the signals that Professional is the right next step.
- You run inventory across FBA and a 3PL or internal warehouse
- Your accountant asks for a cost breakdown per shipment — and you can't provide one
- You operate under more than one legal entity or brand
- You need separate P&Ls by entity, not just a consolidated view
- Your freight and customs costs vary significantly batch to batch
- You're processing FBA inbound shipments that need to be tracked individually
"NeonPanel has been a game-changer for us. We no longer have to rely on estimates for our COGS or pricing decisions."
