Full Service EDI for Amazon Vendor Central
Amazon is getting bigger every year and more vendors are joining to Amazon marketplace to sell their products. After a while once the order volume gets increase for selling their products, Amazon send these vendors, distributors and manufacturers invite to join Amazon Vendor Central which is a platform that Amazon dedicated only for big sellers with high transaction volume who proved to be successful on the Amazon marketplace.
When a seller starts with Amazon, they use Amazon Seller Central platform to sell their products. The seller decide on the pricing, shipping and everything else so he can sell more products. Its up to the seller responsibility to increase the sales, however, with Amazon Vendor Central, it is more towards bulk sales to Amazon under Amazon name, where Amazon decide on the pricing, shipping and take care of increasing the sales for the products and when an order comes in, Amazon will send it to the vendor for fulfillment and shipping or if its an FBA account (Fulfilled By Amazon), then the products are already at Amazon warehouse DC, Amazon Distribution Centers. In that case, the Amazon acts as a broker to the vendors, so vendors can focus on their business, finding the best products to sell and not worrying about how to market it on the Amazon platform and not managing returns, shipping, and all the logistics around selling online. All that is a definite plus when considering how to sell online.
On the other hand, when using Amazon Vendor Central, vendors have to take care of Chargebacks from Amazon, although vendors have the option to dispute a chargeback, it is still another task on their plate. By implementing EDI, sellers, vendors, distributors and manufacturers can reduce their chargebacks, since EDI eliminates manual data entry, which reduce the number of errors.
