Discover the power of Drop-ship/Direct Fulfillment for Amazon. With this exclusive program, selected vendors gain access to Amazon's Direct Fulfillment facility. To qualify, vendors must already be part of the vendor central program, ensuring their invitation to the Direct Fulfillment drop-ship program.
Typically, in the Vendor Central program, Amazon issues bulk orders at the start of each week. Suppliers are then responsible for shipping these orders to one or more Amazon Fulfillment Centers (FCs). However, the drop-ship program operates differently - small orders are sent throughout the day and week, directly shipped to the end customer, bypassing the FCs.
Now, you may be wondering, what sets Direct Fulfillment apart from Seller Central? Well, while Seller Central allows suppliers to sell directly to end customers, Direct Fulfillment takes it a step further by receiving orders on behalf of the supplier. In turn, Amazon acts as a drop-shipper, sending the orders back to the supplier. The supplier still maintains control over pricing, ensuring maximum flexibility and profit.
EDI for Direct Fulfillment: Streamlining Your Amazon Operations
Why Choose EDI?
When it comes to direct fulfillment, handling transactions individually through the Vendor portal can be an arduous task. That's where Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) comes in.
EDI empowers sellers to process and manage orders in bulk, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual handling. With the ability to print shipping labels in bulk, you can save valuable time and effort.
Amazon's EDI Requirements for Direct Fulfillment
To succeed with Amazon Direct Fulfillment, you need to meet their EDI standards. The following transactions are crucial:
EDI 846 – Inventory Availability: Send multiple times a day to ensure up-to-date information.
EDI 855 – Order Confirmation: Promptly communicate back to Amazon.
EDI 856 – Ship Notice: Provide advanced shipment notification.
EDI 810 – Invoice: Ensure accurate and timely invoicing.
On top of these requirements, suppliers must adhere to a specific format when printing Pack Slips.
