Streamline Your Amazon Marketplace Data Connections Using IN-SYNCH
With its seamless shopping experience, 300-million-plus customers, and easy shipping options, the Amazon Marketplace can be a great way to expand your e-commerce presence and reach more customers.
However, using Amazon Seller Central can come with its challenges. Without integration or automation between your ERP and Amazon, manually inputting and reconciling your sales and order data is likely expensive, time-consuming, and rife with human error. That’s where IN-SYNCH comes in.
IN-SYNCH enables real-time, bidirectional data synchronization between Sage 100 and Amazon’s Seller Central. It offers flexibility for both basic and complex integration needs, and provides the most complete integration available for Sage 100 users. The integration ensures seamless data exchange, helping businesses meet Amazon’s communication and shipment standards while automating processes to handle increased sales activity.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at the benefits of Amazon Marketplace and how IN-SYNCH integration can enhance those benefits through seamless integration.
5 Benefits of Amazon Seller Central
Amazon’s Seller Central offers a range of benefits for e-commerce businesses:
1. Direct Control:
Sellers have full control over their product listings, pricing, and inventory. This flexibility allows you to manage your brand presence and make real-time adjustments to meet market demands.
2. Global Reach:
With access to Amazon’s vast customer base, you can reach millions of potential buyers worldwide, expanding your market without the need for a separate e-commerce site.
3. Fulfillment Options:
You can choose between Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) or handling your own fulfillment (FBM). The FBM model is a straightforward setup in which companies sell their products/goods on Amazon, as well as provide tracking to customers via the platform, but they package and ship their own orders. FBA involves Amazon warehousing a company’s goods and fulfilling and tracking their orders on their behalf.
4. Data Insights:
Seller Central provides valuable analytics and reports, helping you track sales performance, customer behavior, and inventory levels to make informed decisions.
5. Advertising Tools:
You can leverage Amazon’s advertising features, such as Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands, to boost visibility and drive sales.
While these features are already great by themselves, integration with your ERP can increase the efficiency of interacting with Seller Central.
IN-SYNCH: Comprehensive Amazon &
Sage 100 Automation
IN-SYNCH is an integration tool that can connect Sage 100 with almost any touchpoint in almost any third-party system. It prioritizes security, independence (if one system goes down, the other will not be affected), and ease of use.
Integrating Amazon Seller Central with Sage 100 through IN-SYNCH enhances efficiency, accuracy, and scalability for businesses. It eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and provides a secure, real-time connection between the two systems.
For businesses fulfilling their orders (FBM), the integration streamlines operations by syncing Amazon orders with Sage 100 sales orders. It can automatically identify existing customers or create new accounts, reducing manual effort and ensuring on-time shipments. Additionally, shipment updates and inventory quantities can be synchronized with Amazon, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information. This automation minimizes errors and saves time for businesses managing their fulfillment.
For those using Amazon’s Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) service, the integration simplifies accounting by ensuring that paid orders are accurately recorded in Sage 100 as invoices, streamlining financial management for FBA users.
The IN-SYNCH solution can also automate the Amazon Payments Report, bringing financial transactions into Sage 100. This report includes details on sales, returns, credits, and commission fees, which can be automatically processed, reducing hours of manual work to just minutes.
IN-SYNCH can also integrate shipping data from Amazon’s new shipping solution, Veeqo. With Veeqo, you can sync orders from stores in real time, duplicate orders, manage returns, and process refunds all in one place. All of this data can be connected to Sage 100, creating an efficient operation.
The IN-SYNCH team has also worked with customers to create a truly custom solution. One of those companies is Bonanza Trade and Supply. In addition to all of the data integration available using IN-SYNCH, the developers added customized inventory adjustments and a whole new order classification in Sage 100. As the founder of Bonanza describes it: “Automation allows for expansion, allows for growth…They know Sage and they know their product inside out. Any time we achieve a result or project with them, I’m wowed. Read the success story here.
