Forge Command documentation
Forge Command is a CRM and operations hub built specifically for Amazon wholesale FBA sellers. It combines supplier relationship management, wholesale catalog matching, purchase orders and profit accounting in one system instead of the six or seven separate tools most sellers stitch together.
This library holds 33 reference articles: software comparisons that name where a competitor wins, buyer's guides with the selection criteria stated up front, operational guides for running a wholesale catalog, and a glossary of the terms the model depends on. Every page shows when it was last reviewed.
