Amazon FBA is a great way to offload inventory, and when it comes to fulfillment, very few can match Amazon’s standard of excellence. Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment goes further and allows you to use FBA for non-Amazon orders. While this service is convenient for a few orders, it really becomes a struggle when MCF orders reach a high volume.

Sellers commonly ask: can Amazon MCF be automated? If so, how?

Why Multi-Channel Sellers Need MCF Automation

If you’re using MCF to fulfill orders from other channels, such as eBay, WooCommerce or Jet, then you know there’s a ton of daily work involved manually entering those orders into Amazon Seller Central.

Order entry involves copying order details onto a web form on Seller Central, or uploading spreadsheets and selecting delivery options. You would then have to manage tracking information then update inventory quantities on your other sales channels. If you sell kits and bundles, inventory management will only be more complex.

This is all extremely tedious and leaves room for mistakes when transferring information. As order volume increases, manual processes will no longer be sustainable. You could easily oversell and cause backorders to pile up, making customers wait. One small data inconsistency could cause major headaches.

The challenge then for sellers is how to automate MCF while keeping all sales channels, warehouse inventory, FBA inventory and drop ship inventory all in sync.
