Scalable Amazon inventory management system

An Amazon inventory management system (WaWi or WWS for short) is a software solution that helps you manage orders, inventory, deliveries, invoices and other business processes and is specifically tailored to selling on the Amazon Marketplace. As an Amazon retailer, you can use an inventory management system to manage all your orders in one central location and automatically synchronize inventory levels.

In addition, a powerful WaWi performs the following core functions:

• Central FBA & FBM Management: The software bundles self-delivery (Fulfillment by Merchant) and inventory in Amazon fulfillment centers (Fulfillment by Amazon) in one interface. This gives you full control over stock transfers and inventory.
• Automated order processing: Incoming orders are automatically recorded. The system generates pick lists, delivery notes and shipping labels for service providers such as DHL or DPD and reports tracking data directly back to Amazon.
• Intelligent inventory management: The real-time reconciliation between Amazon and other sales channels (such as eBay or your own web shop) effectively prevents overselling. This protects your Amazon ranking.
• Legally compliant documentation: The system automatically creates legally compliant invoices. Particularly important for Amazon retailers: WaWi automatically uploads documents so that your customers can find their invoices directly in their Amazon account.
• Complex bundle & set management: If you sell product combinations, WaWi automatically calculates availability in the background based on the stocks of the individual components and adjusts them with every sale.
• Predictive Procurement: Based on historical sales data, the system analyzes your inventory levels. You will be informed well in advance when replenishment needs to be ordered to avoid costly out-of-stock situations.

An Amazon inventory management system makes sense for you if

• You spend more than 30 to 60 minutes a day on purely administrative tasks.
• You're afraid of overselling because you're manually reconciling stock
• You want to expand your business to other channels
• You have problems complying with Amazon guidelines (e.g. uploading invoices within 24 hours)

An inventory management system for Amazon helps you reduce costs and increase profitability. It saves time and lightens your load in daily retail operations. Even for small businesses it can be worthwhile.

Amazon has excellent logistics management, but no real inventory management. As soon as you do more than “just” sell FBA products on Amazon — for example, if you ship items yourself, want to automate invoices, or use a second sales channel — Amazon's internal system reaches its limits. An external inventory management system such as Billbee simply pulls data from Amazon via an interface and then becomes the true control center for your business.

Before you choose the best Amazon inventory management system, you should pay attention to these key criteria. The right inventory management software for Amazon must fit your current and future requirements:

• Integration: Make sure the software is seamlessly integrated with Amazon to avoid manual data entry. Thanks to the direct interface between Billbee and Amazon, your data, including invoice upload, is handled completely automatically.
• Scalability: Consider whether the inventory management system of your choice can scale with your company. With the individual settings options in Billbee, the tool can be used by companies of any size, ideal for reconciling your inventory on Amazon.
• Ease of use: Choose software with an intuitive interface that is easy to use. This is exactly what makes Billbee a self-service inventory management system for Amazon.
• Reports and analytics: Choose software with comprehensive reporting features. Through multichannel integration (Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce & Co.), Billbee offers you a comprehensive view of important key figures.
• Customizability: Make sure you can customize the software. With Billbee, you can configure the automations according to your own wishes.
• Support: Make sure you're getting adequate support and resources. Billbee scores points with its service promise, a chat with experienced users and a detailed help database.
• price: Take costs into account. Usage-based pricing based on processed orders, as offered by Billbee, is ideal for this. If you combine Billbee with Amainvoice, your Amazon orders won't be settled in Billbee.
• Multi-channel management: Selling across multiple platforms? You should look for software that covers all common marketplaces and shop systems from a central platform.

Billbee connects you with almost all major players in e-commerce. In addition to the Amazon connection, the system supports a huge selection of other marketplaces such as eBay, Etsy, Kaufland, OTTO Market and Avocadostore. All sales from these channels flow together centrally in your inventory management system, so you never have to jump back and forth between different portals again.

You can also use various shop systems, for example Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, Gambio or Magento, connect.

Billbee is billed based on a usage-based pricing model with a basic fee of 9€. This means that you only pay for the orders you actually process. This keeps Billbee affordable for Amazon retailers of all sizes. You can test Billbee free of charge for 30 days beforehand.
