The challenge
🧩
Complexity
Amazon is a specialist discipline few brands have the in-house experience to manage.
🛒
Unauthorized sellers
Third-party sellers undercut price and control how your brand appears.
📉
Price erosion
Marketplace pricing drifts below RRP or MAP and puts pressure on your dealers.
🤝
Channel conflict
Amazon growth that ignores distributors and dealers damages long-term relationships.

What we do
01
Marketplace launch
Market selection, account setup and launch plans for each Amazon store you enter.
02
Brand protection
Brand Registry, listing control and removal of unauthorized and counterfeit sellers.
03
Listings & content
Product pages, enhanced brand content and translation for every marketplace.
04
Pricing & channel harmony
Pricing policy that keeps Amazon aligned with your dealers and distributors.
05
Advertising & promotions
Sponsored ads, deals and seasonal events, managed to a clear return target.
06
Logistics & compliance
Fulfilment options, cross-border shipping, VAT and product compliance.

Case study
FAMAG — German precision drilling tools on Amazon
Bormax Forstner bits · brad point drills · plug cutters  |  famag.com ↗
The challenge
  • Brand not registered in Amazon’s Brand Registry
  • Unauthorized sellers using FAMAG images with inaccurate descriptions
  • No price control — resellers selling at any price
  • Dealer network frustrated and discouraged by Amazon sellers
What we did
  • Registered FAMAG in Amazon’s Brand Registry
  • Developed A+ content aligned with FAMAG’s brand identity and marketing strategy
  • Notified and removed unauthorized sellers
  • Brought the dealer network on board with a go-forward plan that includes them
The result
  • Consistent brand image across every marketplace globally
  • Price stability
  • Only authorized sellers
  • Global product launches and promotions run simultaneously, in harmony with dealers

Why Northward
The difference
Amazon and distribution, managed together
Most Amazon agencies only see Amazon. We manage dealer and distributor relationships in 60+ countries, so your marketplace growth supports your channel instead of competing with it.
Experience
Since 1997, with premium tool brands
We know the woodworking and tool category, the brands, and the buyers — on and off Amazon.

Wood Repair PRO Kit

Wood Repair PRO Kit

When you need to repair knots, cracks, or small damages in wood, the PRO Kit provides a complete solution that makes the work both easy and efficient. The kit contains everything you need, including the professional BCD360 Knot Filler Gun, which is specifically designed for this purpose.

The gun ensures an even and precise application of the knot filler, which melts and is applied directly into the damaged area. The filler bonds effectively to the wood, hardens quickly, and provides a strong and flexible repair that can withstand the natural movements of the wood without cracking.

Once the repair has cooled, the surface can be easily sanded and finished with oil, varnish, or paint, resulting in a neat and durable finish.

The PRO Kit is suitable for professionals who want a high-quality result with minimal effort — the ideal solution for repairing wood quickly, safely, and with a long-lasting finish.
