Amazon FBA Management Software

From In-House Fulfillment to Outsourcing

At the beginning of the ecommerce journey, most sellers handle fulfillment in-house — storing products, sorting orders, packing boxes, and shipping them directly to customers.

But as your business grows, in-house fulfillment creates challenges:

• Running out of warehouse space

• Mistakes and delayed shipments

• Employees working overtime

• More time spent managing logistics instead of growing the business

To scale smoothly, many sellers turn to outsourced fulfillment services.

What Fulfillment Services Offer

Fulfillment companies (3PLs) manage the logistics for you — from warehousing to shipping — and often include extras like packaging, order management, and returns.

Benefits of outsourcing fulfillment to a 3PL:

• Lower shipping costs – With their high parcel volumes, 3PLs negotiate discounted rates with major carriers.

• Reduced operational costs – You pay a flat storage fee, plus pick, pack, and ship costs. Seasonal sales spikes don’t increase your base expenses.

• Expertise and resources – Providers bring industry knowledge, advanced systems, and reliable processes.

• Focus on growth – Spend less time packing boxes and more time developing products and marketing.

• Higher customer satisfaction – Fewer mistakes, faster delivery, and professional returns handling.

Amazon FBA

One of the best fulfillment companies to consider is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). With FBA, you store products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers, and they handle picking, packing, shipping, returns, and customer service.

Key benefits of Amazon FBA:

• Effortless shipping – Amazon manages fulfillment end-to-end.

• Discounted shipping rates – Lower costs through Amazon’s global network.

• Return management – Amazon handles refunds and returns.

• Customer service – FBA sellers get Amazon’s customer support.

• Fast delivery – Products earn the Prime badge and Prime shipping, at no extra charge to you or your customers.

Amazon MCF (Multi-Channel Fulfillment)

You don’t have to be an Amazon seller to use Amazon fulfillment services. Amazon offers a Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) service, which allows you to fulfill orders from other sales channels — like your own website, Shopify, eBay, or Etsy — using Amazon’s warehouses and shipping network.

Both FBA and MCF give you:

• Access to Amazon’s warehouses for storing inventory

• Real-time stock visibility

• Multiple shipping speeds (priority, expedited, and standard)

Automating MCF Orders with Multiorders

By default, MCF requires manual steps. For example, if you get an order on Shopify, you must log into Amazon Seller Central, create a fulfillment order, and then copy tracking details back into Shopify.

This manual process wastes time and increases the chance of error.

With Multiorders, you can automate this process. Orders from all your sales channels sync directly to Multiorders, which then pushes them into Amazon FBA for fulfillment. Once shipped, tracking numbers update automatically.
