Amazon FBA: How to use Xentral’s ERP system to have online store orders shipped via Amazon
If you use Amazon FBA and also run other online stores such as Etsy, Shopware, Shopify, and WooCommerce, you have the option to have your orders shipped through Amazon’s logistics center. One ERP system that can handle this process is Xentral. Benedikt Sauter explains how this all works in this video.
Amazon FBA
As an online retailer, you’re probably familiar with Amazon FBA. FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), is about handing over the entire order fulfillment process to Amazon. This means that Amazon takes care of the warehousing and logistics of your products. Advantages here are a faster delivery time, with which you will also rise in the ranking. Did you know that you can also use Amazon FBA if you use a store system, such as WooCommerce or Shopify? So there is a possibility to send orders via the Amazon logistics center. All you need is a system that can handle this. With Xentral’s enterprise resource planning system, this processing is possible – and much more.
An interface for external fulfillment service providers
Xentral is an innovative ERP system that can help you strategically in your daily work. Established companies in all industries can use it. With Xentral, you can synchronize multiple sales channels, and also centrally control and manage all business processes. In addition, Xentral has developed a large number of interfaces to various store systems, including the aforementioned store systems WooCommerce and Shopify. Do you sell on a marketplace, such as Etsy, and don’t have your own warehouse, but use Amazon FBA and want to use your FBA warehouse? Xentral has developed an interface that allows you to connect external fulfillment service providers. So, since Amazon FBA is an external fulfillment service provider, thanks to Xentral you can use your FBA warehouse for another marketplace or store system.
Serve all sales channels with FBA
Amazon convinces with long proven processes and a good API. Although it is not the most attractive offer in terms of price, it is still worth testing. Because before you set up a whole new logistics process and have to find new warehouse space, it’s a good way to get familiar with the whole process first. This way you can see if it’s worth it for you personally to ship products with and through Amazon. Because Xentral offers so many interfaces, you can use this capability to hand off the entire channel offering to Amazon’s fulfillment. Amazon ships the goods, Xentral gets the feedback and can report the status back to the individual stores via tracking ID.
Dynamically report stock figures
Only then will the invoice be sent out or created, depending on how it works best for your workflow. Do you store part of your goods at Amazon, the other part at your warehouse and something is sold out at your warehouse, for example? In such a case you can easily switch to the Amazon warehouse to ship via this. This eliminates a lot of stress, because you don’t have to be meticulous about every reorder when you know there’s merchandise in another warehouse. All of this sounds beneficial, but you’re wondering how to report back stock numbers, when and where? Xentral also offers a solution for this with an extra module. With this module you can easily say up to what quantity you want to have reported from a warehouse. This way you can dynamically regulate how you report the stock numbers at the final locations.

You may not want to report all the numbers right away, but, for example, a third first. So you have a safety stock. All this allows you flexibility and brings certain freedoms, which you can use positively for the structuring of your goods. You can also determine limit values. Even though the function is meant for regulating your stock numbers, you can also use it to represent an artificial shortage. Especially for the area of search engine optimization, this representation can become exciting. Because a scarcity can possibly increase the click rate and positively influence your SEO. A good function that not every ERP system can implement. Just try it out – you can test Xentral for 30 days for free.
