Product Updates

FBA Reimbursements from Jungle Scout

Jungle Scout has launched a new tool to automate your FBA reimbursements from Amazon, allowing you to claim any owed refunds with ease. 

When inventory is lost or damaged, Amazon sellers are often eligible for FBA reimbursements. To make the claims as easy for sellers as possible, this process is powered by Carbon6, and completely automated after you link your seller account. Within 48 hours, a dedicated case manager will review your products, orders, returns, and shipments and send you an estimate of reimbursements owed. 

After you have received $500 in automated reimbursements, Jungle Scout will begin charging a 20% commission fee for this service — but this will only happen after you’ve been paid.

• Save time and energy by automating an important process that can save your business significant funds
• Refunds are deposited directly into your FBA account
• View reports from your case manager that track each potential reimbursement and keep you up-to-date on the status of each one

Track an opportunity in Opportunity Finder

Jungle Scout has updated Opportunity Finder, allowing users to add opportunities to Product Tracker directly from the search page. This includes the option to add an opportunity to an existing group or create a new one, streamlining the process of monitoring exciting opportunities in the product research phase!

AI Assist — Now in FOUR Jungle Scout tools!

Jungle Scout has expanded AI Assist, its powerful artificial intelligence solution that helps Amazon sellers automate tasks and uncover new, critical insights to grow their business. AI Assist, originally launched in Listing Builder, now powers three additional tools within Jungle Scout.

AI Assist for Review Analysis

AI Assist for Review Analysis analyzes the ratings and reviews of a product, identifies themes, and delivers instant insights including common positive and negative comments to help sellers understand what customers are saying about their products and how they can improve their offerings.

In fact, it can be used to analyze any ASIN, allowing Amazon sellers to further vet product ideas by assessing the reviews of any competitive or inspirational product to consider improvement opportunities or find a viable product to sell. 

How it works: AI Assist for Review Analysis examines an ASIN, presents an assessment of reviews and ratings of that product, and delivers a summarized analysis of the reviews, featuring: 

• Common positive comments
• Common negative comments
• Suggestions for how to improve the product
• An assessment of how the product compares to others in market
• Recommendations for how you or a competitor could compete with the product
• Other trends in the reviews

With Review Analysis, sellers can analyze product reviews at scale, automatically gathering reviews of any given ASIN with comprehensive and actionable takeaways for each. 

AI Assist for Profit Overview

AI Assist for Profit Overview uses AI to analyze the performance of your Amazon business and instantly deliver actionable insights to help improve your sales and profitability. It’s like having your own AI-powered CFO, guiding you towards smart investments in your own Amazon business.

How it works: Within Jungle Scout’s Sales Analytics feature, AI Assist connects to the Profit Overview tool to generate a report featuring key insights, trends, and actions a seller can take, all based on an analysis of the seller’s own financial data, including: 

• Net revenue 
• Net profit
• Net margin
• Gross profit
• Gross margin
• Cost of goods sold (COGS)
• Units sold
• Order fees
• Seller fees
• PPC fees

Leveraging AI saves you time by sifting through enormous amounts of financial data and making sense of it, sharing the need-to-know information you can take action on. 

AI Assist Chat

AI Assist Chat gives Amazon sellers immediate, specific answers to their questions about selling on Amazon, growing their business, and more. AI Assist Chat sources from Jungle Scout’s unmatched library of thousands of expert resources to help sellers keep their business moving — anytime or anywhere they need it. 

Plus, AI Assist Chat is continuing to evolve and help Amazon sellers answer questions about specific challenges or opportunities related to their own business. Stay tuned for more!

AI Assist is now available in four Jungle Scout tools to all Jungle Scout Pro and Suite subscribers. Learn more here!

Product Database

We’ve revamped search filters in Product Database so you can use multiple presets to find the products that fit your goals. We’ve also made it so your presets are more prominently displayed by introducing highlighting to your selected presets.

In addition, we’ve added “Save Search” and “Load Saved Searches” buttons to make it easier for users to save and reload previous searches during product research.

Amazon Emerald

Amazon Emerald allows Amazon sellers using Jungle Scout to see important data from the Jungle Scout app directly in Amazon Seller Central. These updates provide Amazon sellers with important information without ever leaving Seller Central. Updates may include includes weekly profit reports, review requests from Review Automation, and any urgent reminders from Jungle Scout. Users can click these notifications in Seller Central and quickly navigate to their Jungle Scout accounts for more information or to take action. 

Jungle Scout subscribers automatically have access to Amazon Emerald but need to ensure their Amazon Seller Central account is synced with Jungle Scout – or to reauthorize it if it’s already synced.

AI Assist (BETA)

Jungle Scout has released the beta of AI Assist within Listing Builder. AI Assist is a powerful artificial intelligence integration that makes writing Amazon listings faster, easier, and more efficient than ever before. By simply clicking the new “AI Assist” button, Listing Builder generates copy using keywords from your own Keyword Bank and delivers a title, description, and features instantly. 

• Start from a draft instead of a blank slate; reviewing AI-generated copy allows you to skip the tedious writing process, saving you time.
• Let AI brainstorm for you, coming up with ideas for new benefits or details for your listing that might give you a competitive edge.
• AI Assist writes in English, helping non-native English and ESL speakers hone their listings for English-language Amazon marketplaces, and saving potentially costly translation services.

AI Assist is a tool to accelerate the listing creation process. Make the most of it by remembering that a great listing starts with a great keyword list – so don’t skip steps in the keyword research process! Once AI Assist delivers your listing draft, you can edit and refine as needed — or even click the “AI Assist” button again to view a new AI-generated listing draft. Check out the Lising Grader as you edit and make sure your listing is sufficiently long, includes relevant keywords, and most importantly – makes sense for your unique product and customer.

AI Assist is now available to Jungle Scout Pro plan users. Basic and Suite plan customers can join the waitlist if interested in AI Assist. Learn more here!

Keyword Scout

Keyword Scout just got better! With the addition of keyword insights, it’s now easier than ever to understand whether the search volume for a given keyword phrase is truly trending up or down and to compare these trends to previous periods.

Basic users can now compare these trends to the previous week, Suite users can compare trends to the previous 4-week or 6-month period, and Professional users can compare trends to the previous 12-month period.
