Here's Why You Need an Amazon Marketplace and NetSuite ERP Integration
Every Amazon seller, regardless of whether they choose an
Individual or Professional Selling Plan, knows that there’s a list of
Amazon seller criteria they must oblige by in order to sell their products on Amazon.
Failure to meet the criteria could result in penalties for things like:
- Running out of inventory
- Processing orders too slowly
- Not meeting shipping deadline expectations
- Receiving negative feedback from customers
NOTE: Too much of any of these things could even result in your Amazon seller account being revoked. Yikes!
Luckily, there’s a whole industry worth of integration platform as a service (iPaaS) geeks out there in the world that have created integration solutions to help Amazon sellers solve these problems and avoid penalties.
These integration solutions connect merchants’ online stores (such as Amazon) with their accounting/ERP systems (like NetSuite, for example).
Here’s How an Amazon and NetSuite Integration Works
Let’s say you’re selling on Amazon and using NetSuite as your ERP system.
As orders come in through your Amazon store, an integration platform will ensure that your orders are populated in your NetSuite ERP system, and your inventory levels are adjusted accordingly to reflect the sale. Shipping and tracking information can also be integrated between the two systems to eliminate the need for manual data entry and increase the efficiency of your order fulfillment process. This will help you avoid Amazon’s hefty fines.
What you get when you choose an iPaaS like eBridge:
- A bi-directional, automated data integration between NetSuite (or other leading ERPs) and Amazon (or the eCommerce platforms/marketplaces of your choice)
- Pre-built connectors for Amazon and NetSuite on a universal integration platform that can be “plugged in” to meet your unique business needs
- A fully-managed solution with connectivity and data translation all handled in the cloud (no on-premise software required).
- Shared business rules that replace the need for individual mapping, allowing you to upgrade your systems with ease.
- Unlimited, 24/7 access to a North-American based support response team
How you, as an Amazon seller, will benefit:
- Eliminate manual data entry
- Avoid costly errors as a result of re-keying data
- Reduce deployment time using turnkey integration solutions
- Avoid hefty fines and penalties imposed by Amazon
- Add connections (EDI, CRM, etc.) anytime, anywhere.
- Free up time and resources to focus on your business.
