NEW: Otto and Amazon marketplace connection to our Fulfillment Center

Introduction to the marketplace connection

In today’s digital world, connections to online marketplaces such as Amazon and Otto are crucial to the success of many companies. These platforms offer an enormous reach and enable companies to offer their products to a wide audience. A direct marketplace connection to a fulfillment center, such as Subke GmbH, can significantly optimize the business process and make the entire sales cycle more efficient. In this article, we will explore the benefits and processes of direct marketplace integration with our fulfillment for Amazon and Otto in detail.

What is a marketplace connection?

Marketplace connectivity refers to the process by which companies list their products on large sales platforms to facilitate sales. This connection allows companies to manage orders, monitor inventory levels and integrate shipping processes. The seamless connection between the company, the marketplace and the fulfillment center is the key to optimizing these processes.

The importance of marketplace connectivity for companies

For many companies, marketplace connectivity has become not just an option, but a necessity. Using platforms such as Amazon, Kaufland and Otto gives them access to millions of potential buyers. In addition, connectivity offers the advantage that companies can increase their visibility, reduce marketing costs and diversify their sales channels. All of this leads to potential sales growth.

Advantages of the direct connection

The direct connection to our Fulfillment Center offers numerous advantages. Firstly, it enables orders to be processed more quickly as all processes are automated. Secondly, it reduces the error rate that often occurs with manual entries. In addition, companies benefit from better inventory management, which enables them to use their resources more efficiently and avoid bottlenecks.

Integration of Amazon and Otto into the fulfillment system

The integration of Amazon and Otto into our fulfillment system is a strategic step that can revolutionize the sales process. Customer orders are automatically retrieved from the marketplace and processed in our system. This automation not only ensures faster processing, but also greater customer satisfaction, as processing times are significantly reduced.

Order processing and shipping process

How orders are retrieved from the marketplace

A central component of the marketplace connection is the automated order call-off function. As soon as a customer places an order, it is sent directly to our fulfillment center. API interfaces play a crucial role here, as they ensure smooth communication between the marketplace and our system. This allows the fulfillment team to start processing the order immediately.

Transfer of orders to our fulfillment center

Once the orders have been called off, they are analyzed and prioritized in our Fulfillment Center. Each order is checked for its specific requirements and forwarded to the relevant warehouses. This transfer takes place in real time, which ensures that all orders can be processed quickly and efficiently without delays in the shipping process.

Complete takeover of order processing

Another advantage of the direct connection is the complete takeover of order processing. Our fulfillment team takes care of all aspects, from picking the products to packing and shipping them to the customer. This comprehensive service relieves companies considerably, especially on promotional days such as Cyber Monday, allowing them to concentrate on their core competencies.

Optimization for Amazon FBM, Prime and Otto direct shipping

Differences between FBM and FBA

Understanding the differences between Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) and Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) is important for businesses selling on Amazon. While FBM means that the seller is responsible for storage, packaging and shipping, FBA takes care of all these steps. The choice between these two models depends on the company’s individual requirements and resources.

How our service optimizes processes

Our fulfillment service optimizes processes for both FBM and FBA. We offer customized solutions that enable companies to optimally manage their inventories while meeting the requirements of Amazon and Otto. Our expertise in logistics allows us to ensure a high level of efficiency and cost savings.

Cost benefits through our fulfillment services

Favorable storage costs for companies

A key advantage of connecting to our fulfillment center is the reduced storage costs and lower requirements. Companies can benefit from flexible storage solutions that allow them to pay only for the space they actually use. This not only leads to cost savings, but also to better budget planning and control. With an optimized warehouse flow, seasonal products in particular can receive a better inventory index (LBI) on Amazon.

Transparent fulfillment prices

In addition to low storage costs, we offer transparent prices for our fulfillment services. Companies can see and understand the costs incurred, allowing for better financial planning. This transparency is crucial to building long-term business relationships and creating trust.

Conclusion

Summary of the direct Otto and Amazon marketplace connection

The direct connection to our fulfillment for Amazon and Otto offers companies numerous advantages, including optimized processes and reduced costs.

In addition, retailers do not necessarily need an ERP system to be able to retrieve orders from the two marketplaces.

By automating the entire order processing through our Fulfillment Center with the seamless integration of marketplaces into our merchandise management system, retailers can outsource a lot of work, save time and costs, increase their efficiency and focus on growing their business.
