In the dynamic world of eCommerce, Amazon sellers face increasingly complex challenges. While it’s easy to get started selling on Amazon, scaling your business without the right systems and processes in place can quickly become overwhelming. Particularly during peak sales periods like Prime Day, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday, the manual processes involved in order handling, label creation, shipment tracking, and ERP synchronization can drain your team’s time, leading to errors, inefficiencies, and delayed shipments.
This blog will walk you through the key pain points that Amazon sellers experience in managing their orders, and how APPSeCONNECT and Veeqo can provide a seamless solution. By automating the order fulfillment process, syncing data in real-time, and significantly reducing manual entry, these platforms enable Amazon sellers to streamline their operations and save up to 45% of order handling time. Read on to understand how you can automate your processes, improve operational efficiency, and scale your business effectively.
The Day-to-Day Struggles of Amazon Sellers
Running an Amazon store isn’t just about listing products and waiting for sales. It’s about managing a complex web of operations behind the scenes. Here’s a closer look at the day-to-day struggles faced by many Amazon sellers.
The Daily Routine of an Amazon Seller
Every order placed on Amazon requires action — whether it’s generating a shipping label, tracking order status, or updating your ERP system (e.g., SAP, Dynamics). The typical daily routine includes:
- Order Receipt: As soon as a customer places an order, you need to log into Amazon Seller Central, access order details, and begin processing.
- Shipping Label Creation: Once the order is verified, you manually create a shipping label, which involves copying over the details from Amazon and selecting the appropriate shipping method.
- Data Entry into ERP: With every new order, you manually input the order details, including customer information and shipment tracking, into your ERP system (e.g., SAP).
- Order Tracking: After processing the order, you manually update the tracking information in Amazon Seller Central to ensure customers are informed in real-time.
This process works fine when you have only a small number of orders. However, the challenge grows significantly during high-sales events. On these days, a surge of orders (often in the range of hundreds or thousands) leads to:
- Overwhelming manual work.
- Increased risk of errors (wrong tracking number or missed order).
- Disruption in the customer experience.
- Delays in shipments, which lead to bad reviews and potential account suspension.
How Does This Look During Peak Periods?
During peak seasons like Prime Day or Black Friday, the volume of orders can skyrocket. Processing these orders manually becomes a time sink. For instance, if you receive 500-1000 orders, you might spend the entire day processing and updating shipment data, leading to bottlenecks in fulfillment and delivery. The added complexity of managing multiple platforms—Amazon, Veeqo, ERP, and shipping services—can overwhelm your team.
This scenario raises a simple but critical question: How do you manage such a high volume of orders efficiently?
Veeqo – Automating the Amazon Order Fulfillment Process
Fortunately, Veeqo provides an integrated, out-of-the-box solution to automate the order fulfillment process. Here’s how Veeqo addresses these pain points:
Automated Order Syncing from Amazon
When an order is placed on Amazon, Veeqo automatically fetches the order into its system without any manual intervention. The automation process works seamlessly, allowing you to:
- Save time by eliminating the need to log into Amazon Seller Central for each order.
- Centralize your orders in one place, so you don’t need to check multiple systems for information.
Shipping Label Generation and Tracking Sync
Once the order is fetched, Veeqo automatically generates the shipping label. This saves hours of work, especially during peak sales periods when you might have hundreds or thousands of orders.
- Veeqo works with multiple carriers, and after generating the shipping label, it updates the tracking number in Amazon Seller Central automatically.
- This process typically takes 15-20 minutes, reducing the manual updates required and improving your customer experience.
Real-Time Updates and A-to-Z Guarantee
When you purchase shipping labels through Veeqo, you gain the added benefit of Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee. This guarantee provides protection if a customer complains about late shipments, damaged goods, or lost packages. This ensures that:
- Your seller rating remains intact.
- Amazon takes the responsibility in cases of delayed shipments, thus shielding your account from defects that could negatively affect your reputation.
Efficiency and Scalability
What used to be a time-consuming, manual task of updating orders is now handled automatically. Veeqo frees up your team’s time, allowing them to focus on other important aspects of your business, like customer service, inventory management, and marketing.
APPSeCONNECT – Automating Data Flow into Your ERP
While Veeqo effectively automates order fulfillment, you still face the challenge of syncing this data with your ERP system. Whether you’re using SAP Business One, Dynamics 365, or another ERP, APPSeCONNECT provides a seamless integration solution that eliminates manual data entry between systems.
Seamless Data Integration
APPSeCONNECT connects Amazon orders, Veeqo shipments, and your ERP system in real-time. Here’s how the integration improves your workflow:
- Sync Orders to ERP: Once an order is placed on Amazon and processed through Veeqo, APPSeCONNECT automatically syncs the order information with your ERP system, eliminating the need for manual entry.
- Sync Shipping Details: When Veeqo generates a shipping label and tracking number, APPSeCONNECT pulls this information and updates it in your ERP system. This allows your warehouse team to work with real-time data without having to check multiple systems.
- Consolidated Order Information: APPSeCONNECT ensures that all order and shipping data is stored in one centralized location, meaning no more jumping between Amazon, Veeqo, and your ERP system. This streamlines the process for your team and reduces the risk of data discrepancies.
Real-Time Data Syncing
By syncing data in real-time, APPSeCONNECT ensures that there are no delays between order receipt, label generation, and shipment tracking. This helps maintain accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency across your entire operation.
Error Reduction and Improved Productivity
With the elimination of manual data entry, you drastically reduce the chances of human error, which can lead to costly mistakes. Additionally, because your teams can access all order details in one place, your warehouse team can process orders faster and with greater accuracy.
