Greywolfe’s SPN Approval
First-Hand Steps Amazon Verified
1. Supply Chain and Distributor Verification
-
Direct Outreach to Every Distributor
Amazon independently called each supplier of record to confirm authenticity, current terms, and that no documentation, pricing, or supply lines had been altered.
-
Document Trail Match
Invoices, packing lists, and purchase orders were traced from distributor to Greywolfe to Amazon’s fulfillment network. Amazon checked that quantities, SKUs, and cost structures aligned with the physical inventory that reached Amazon’s facilities.
-
Continuity Checks
Amazon validated that the same distributors support repeat replenishment cycles, which reduces substitution risk and counterfeit exposure.
2. Workforce Integrity and Role Validation
-
Video Interviews with More than 60 Employees
Amazon scheduled live video calls with individual team members across Colombia operations and warehouse functions. Each person was asked to explain their department, their day-to-day role, and the specific controls they execute.
-
Process Walkthroughs from Dock to FC
Staff were required to describe how items move through receiving, inspection, labeling, prep, and outbound staging to the Amazon warehouse, including handoffs and exception handling.
-
Employment Verification
W-2 documentation was provided for all applicable team members that Amazon requested. This proved real payroll, real employment relationships, and reduced the risk of sham staffing or transient contractors performing controlled tasks.
3. Category-by-Category Account Management Approval
-
Granular Capability Review
Because Greywolfe provides full account management, Amazon did not grant a blanket listing. Approval was earned category by category, with evidence that Greywolfe understands and enforces the specific policies, compliance checks, and catalog standards for each product category.
-
Operational Proofs per Category
For each category, Greywolfe demonstrated listing accuracy controls, brand and IP checks, quality and safety gatekeeping, inventory health routines, and escalation paths for policy or performance incidents.
-
Progressive Authorization
Only after passing the individual category reviews did Amazon recognize Greywolfe for full account management scope. This preserved least-privilege principles and ensured that authorization matched demonstrated capability.
What These Steps Indicate to Investors
Data and supply chain integrity. Independent distributor calls and document matching confirm that products, paperwork, and deliveries align without manipulation.
Real operating capacity. Live interviews across 60+ employees verify a staffed, process-driven operation with defined roles and internal controls, not a thin agency.
Policy durability. Category-specific approval shows that Greywolfe’s controls map to Amazon’s policy landscape at a detailed level, which lowers the chance of listing takedowns, account health hits, or compliance penalties.
Lower execution risk. The breadth of Amazon’s checks creates an external assurance layer around sourcing, labor, and catalog governance, which reduces operational surprises and supports sustainable performance.
Investor takeaway.
Amazon’s SPN approval for Greywolfe was earned through direct verification of suppliers, live validation of the workforce and processes, and category-level authorization tied to real capabilities. The depth of this review means Amazon has already pressure-tested Greywolfe’s supply chain, staffing, and account management systems. For investors and partners, that translates into reduced fraud risk, stronger compliance posture, and greater confidence that outcomes can be repeated at scale.
