How can You Fulfill Amazon Orders?

There are 2 methods with which customers can fulfill Amazon orders – Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM). FBA is when you offload the entire retail fulfillment process to Amazon and FBM is when you sell products on Amazon but choose to fulfill Amazon orders on your own. For all intents and purposes, these are the processes that you would need to follow to fulfill Amazon orders :

Processes Required from Sellers

Research of Products

Research needs to be conducted for each product to figure out their demand, competition from similar products, prices customers are willing to pay and penetration of that product in the Amazon marketplace in order to optimize your business strategies.

Sourcing of Materials

You need to partner with a supplier who will be able to manufacture your products in the right balance of cost and quality. They can then ship the finished products straight to Amazon’s warehouses.

Listing of Inventory

Product listings need to be created for each type of offering with the marketable descriptions, clear photos and accurate metrics such as features and size dimensions.

Promotion of Products

You need to create hype around your products and market them to be as appealing to your target audience as possible so that you are able to differentiate your products from the vast amount of competitors on the Amazon marketplace fulfillment.

Management of Sales

You need to keep an eye on every order that comes in and manage inventory levels and listings so that the right amount of inventory is always available, depending on customer demand. Post receiving an order, you can leave it up to Amazon to do the rest.

Services Offered by Amazon

Management of Inventory

After Amazon receives the products from your supplier, it sorts out each product based on various metrics such as their type, price, demand levels, and expiry date, among others. It is then stored in massive fulfillment centers, where processes are followed by robots or Amazon employees. Keep in mind that it is in both your and Amazon’s interest to take the best possible care of your products because if anything is damaged in the fulfillment center, Amazon will pay you the retail price of what the product is worth.

Automatic Processing of Orders

Amazon automatically processes order requests, as soon as they are received from a customer. The order fulfillment process is initiated with the relevant product being picked, packed and shipped to the customers’ location, according to the estimated time of delivery. 

Management of Customer Support and Returns

Amazon takes care of your entire customer support, even after the order has been delivered. This includes resolving issues related to the order, answering queries and managing the reverse logistics process in the event of an RTO request.

Why Does it Make Sense for Retailers to Use 3PL Fulfillment Companies as an Alternative to FBA?

Fulfillment Across Different Channels

If you relegate yourself to selling only on the Amazon marketplace, you are cutting yourself off from a large number of local customers that possibly shop on other platforms. In order for a retailer to be competitive, it needs to open as many doors as possible. 3PL fulfillment companies often integrate with multiple selling channels seamlessly, to enable retailers to carve themselves a share of customers on each platform and fulfill Amazon orders at the same time.

Transparent and Simplified Pricing Plans

Costs in the Amazon marketplace, especially pertaining to FBA, constantly change and evolve depending on a variety of factors such as seasons, product size and nature, duration of storage and many others. This can lead to uncertainty in the amount retailers would have to expend to fulfill Amazon orders. On the other hand, 3PL fulfillment companies often have flat rates that are agreed upon beforehand, pricing per unit and no minimum order quantity. This provides transparency and enables sellers to budget accordingly.

Customized Packaging

Amazon has standardised most of its processes, including its packaging. While this may seem like a good thing on the surface, it means that Amazon’s brand is highlighted much more than the retailer’s brand is. There are also little to no customization options available. With a 3PL fulfillment company, retailers can customize their packaging with their brand logo, choice of materials, custom stickers and themes and much more through branded shipping, which will contribute to customers attaining much more knowledge about their own brand, while they fulfill Amazon orders.

Order Management

Most 3PL fulfillment companies offer software that helps them efficiently fulfill Amazon orders. In many cases, they are more simple and more intuitive to use than Amazon’s offering, which can feel overly complicated and cumbersome at times. This order management software will help you keep track of past, present and future orders and will mitigate any unexpected errors along the way.

Inventory Management

Gone are the days when the Amazon marketplace had a monopoly on smart inventory management services. Due to the widespread adoption of state-of-the-art technology and advanced Warehouse Management Systems(WMS), most 3PL companies are able to offer an enhanced level of inventory management capabilities to fulfill Amazon orders. This includes smart placement of inventory according to various metrics, monitoring inventory levels, forecasting demand and supply levels in the future and much more. 

Fulfillment Centers in Multiple Locations

Most of the larger 3PL fulfillment companies offer a vast network of warehouses and fulfillment centers that are strategically dispersed across the country in areas with high demand to be able to rapidly fulfill Amazon orders. This enables retailers to offer faster shipping services at reduced rates because of smart inventory placement at locations that are in close proximity to the delivery locations of customers. In addition, these companies are not bound by the red tape of the Amazon marketplace so this results in inventory being stored at much cheaper rates.

Faster Shipping for Lower Prices

2-day shipping was originally popularized in the Amazon marketplace and other retailers and eCommerce platforms had to adapt in order to compete. However, due to economies of scale and the technology behind fast eCommerce shipping becoming mainstream, there are many 3PL fulfillment companies that offer next-day, same-day and even 10-minute shipping for a fraction of the cost that Amazon charges for its fulfillment services and for companies to fulfill Amazon orders.

Why You Need an APOB for Your E-commerce Business?

Why You Need an APOB for Your E-commerce Business?

In the rapidly growing and competitive world of e-commerce, regulatory compliance and efficient operational management are essential to success. One crucial aspect that every e-commerce business must consider is the registration of an Additional Place of Business (APOB). The APOB is vital for ensuring smooth operations across multiple locations, such as warehouses and distribution centers, which are essential for timely order fulfilment and customer satisfaction.  Registering an APOB enhances a business's operational efficiency and ensures compliance with Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations, which are mandatory for legal operations. This article provides an in-depth understanding of an APOB for E-commerce Business, its significance in the e-commerce sector, and the registration process, highlighting its critical role in supporting business growth and sustainability. What Is the APOB? The Additional Place of Business (APOB) is a significant concept in the regulatory framework for businesses, particularly those involved in e-commerce. An APOB refers to any location where a company conducts its operations other than its Principal Place of Business (PPOB). This can include branch offices, warehouses, retail outlets, and other physical locations where business activities occur.  For e-commerce businesses, having multiple APOBs allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing inventory, processing orders, and fulfilling customer deliveries. By registering these additional locations under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework, businesses ensure compliance with tax regulations, avoid legal complications and can benefit from the Input Tax Credit (ITC) mechanism. ITC enables businesses to claim credit for the tax paid on purchases, which can be offset against the tax payable on sales, thus optimizing their tax liability. Understanding and registering APOBs is crucial for e-commerce businesses aiming to expand their operations and improve their logistical capabilities. Explaining the APOB in E-commerce Business In the e-commerce industry, the concept of an Additional Place of Business (APOB) is essential for operational efficiency and compliance. In e-commerce, an APOB refers to any location apart from the principal place where business activities occur, such as warehouses, fulfilment centres, distribution hubs, and even retail storefronts. These additional locations are crucial in streamlining logistics, reducing delivery times, and enhancing customer satisfaction.  For instance, having multiple APOBs allows an e-commerce business to store inventory closer to its customer base, thus enabling faster dispatch and delivery. It also facilitates better inventory management and reduces the risk of stockouts. Moreover, APOBs support scalability, as businesses can expand their physical footprint without relocating their primary operations. This flexibility is particularly beneficial during peak shopping seasons or in high-demand areas. From a regulatory perspective, each APOB must be registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework. This registration is not only a legal requirement but also allows businesses to avail of the Input Tax Credit (ITC). ITC helps offset the GST paid on purchases against the GST collected on sales, thereby reducing the overall tax burden. Proper registration and management of APOBs ensure that e-commerce businesses remain compliant with tax laws and can efficiently handle audits and inspections. APOBs are vital for the operational success and compliance of e-commerce businesses. They enable efficient logistics, faster delivery times, better inventory management, and provide tax benefits, all of which contribute to a competitive edge in the market. Related read: APOB Vs PPOB What Is Additional Place of Business in GST? Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, an Additional Place of Business (APOB) refers to any location where a business undertakes activities related to its operations, apart from its Principal Place of Business (PPOB). These activities can include storing goods, processing orders, manufacturing, or other business-related functions. Registering an APOB is essential for businesses that operate from multiple locations to ensure compliance with GST regulations. When a business has multiple locations where it conducts activities, each must be declared and registered under the GST system. This registration helps in maintaining transparency and accountability in business operations. The GST framework mandates that businesses disclose all their operational locations to ensure proper monitoring and tax collection. To register an APOB, businesses need to update their existing GST registration details by adding the new address of the additional location. This process involves submitting specific documents such as proof of address for the new location, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner if the premises are rented, and other relevant information. The registration process can typically be completed online through the GST portal. Registering an APOB is not just a legal requirement but also offers significant advantages. It enables businesses to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) for GST paid on expenses incurred at the additional location. This means that any GST paid on inputs or services utilised at the APOB can be offset against the GST liability on sales, thus reducing the overall tax burden. Moreover, having registered APOBs ensures smooth operations across multiple locations without the risk of non-compliance. It simplifies managing tax records and facilitates better coordination between different branches or warehouses. Overall, the concept of an APOB in GST is crucial for businesses that seek to expand their footprint and streamline their operations across various locations while adhering to tax regulations.
