			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazon provides merchants with the ability to sell their products through the Amazon.com&#8217;s marketplace called Amazon Seller Central. <em>Seller Central</em> is the Web interface used to manage all aspects of selling on <em>Amazon</em>.com’s e-commerce web site. However, in order to integrate successfully with Amazon, the Amazon.com API defines a specific set of feeds each merchant is required to submit to, and receive from, Amazon.</p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span>Solutions for Amazon Supported Feeds are  &#8220;<em><strong>Amazon Inventory Management</strong></em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em><strong>Amazon Order  Management</strong></em>&#8220;  Channel Integration provides these both</p>
<p>The major stumbling block for integration with Amazon.com&#8217;s API and keeping current with the new capabilities being developed by Amazon.com are neatly resolved by using standardized e-Commerce integration solutions provided by Channel Integration, Our robust system eliminates the complexity of dealing with an unknown, sparsely documented, fast-moving system.</p>
<p>Basic information which Amazon Merchant needs to take care of using manually-defined settings which are configured by the merchant in Seller Central. They determine business rules and provide content to establish the Merchant on the Amazon.com platform.</p>
<ul>
<li>Merchant Profile</li>
<li>Merchant Help Pages</li>
<li>Storefront Layout, Images, and Content</li>
<li>Shipping Tables</li>
<li>Tax Rules</li>
</ul>
<h3>Our Amazon SellerCentral Integration / Ecommerce integration will take care of the Product, Price and Settlement feeds. &#8220;<em><strong>Amazon Inventory Management</strong></em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em><strong>Amazon Order  Management</strong></em>&#8220;</h3>
<p>Amazon Product Setup and Maintenance</p>
<p>Amazon.com lists their products on Amazon’s catalog based on UPC codes and UPC code as an approach to uniquely identifying product and listing them in their catalog. Basic information required to list them online to sell</p>
<ul>
<li>Product Feed</li>
<li>Image Feed</li>
<li>Price Feed</li>
<li>Inventory Feed</li>
<li>Relationship Feed</li>
<li>Order Management</li>
</ul>
<p>Channel Integration will integrate these feeds to amazon from your Catalog or from your vendor Catalog in accordance to the rules laid out by your business or some preexisting rules which we have in our database to optimize these feeds and have best ROI on the products which are listed on Amazon for sale.</p>
<p>Amazon in turn will provide the Feeds required to fulfill orders placed via Amazon.com, accept or reject the orders, and ship the orders.</p>
<ul>
<li>Order Feed</li>
<li>Order Acknowledgement Feed</li>
<li>Order Fulfillment Feed</li>
<li>Adjustments and Settlement</li>
</ul>
<p>These feeds will bring the orders placed on Amazon to your ERP / Accounting system or to a place where you want Channel Integration to drop off these orders via EDI, XML or CSV format. Adjustment Feed addresses returns, out-of-stock conditions, price discrepancies, rebates, refunds, and the like. Settlement Feeds detail all financial transactions between Amazon.com and the Merchant and reconciles this information with your application(s).</p>
<ul>
<li>Adjustment Feed</li>
<li>Settlement Feed</li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the Feeds are transactional in nature while others are batch-oriented and loaded on a periodic basis. For basic Sellercentral accounts Orders feeds are periodic batch oriented. The Amazon API requires submitted Feeds conform to a strictly defined process. The process dictates many things, such as the order in which the Feeds can be submitted, the size of each Feed that is allowed, the file formats and compression that is required, and the time interval for submission of Feeds. Amazon provides very detailed information on this and our Channel Integration Suite has all the business rules pre-configured in it so that you do not have to spend your time and energy over them rather you spend your time in marketing your business. Let the Integration Specialists do their job at their best.</p>
<p>The required information for the Amazon.com Feeds include items available within the merchant&#8217;s e-commerce application, such as product name and pricing, as well as data that is specific to Amazon.com, called Enrichment data. Examples of Enrichment are the specific taxonomy merchants’ map to for the category of products sold and the &#8220;Keywords&#8221; included to make their products accessible on the site.</p>
<p>To classify products, Amazon defines product categories as &#8220;Stores.&#8221; The purpose of Stores is to make it easier for potential customers to locate and purchase the items from the retailer that are of interest to them. Amazon Stores vary from Apparel to Gourmet Foods to Sporting Goods.</p>
<p>When choosing an Amazon.com integration partner, merchants should look for a vendor that can:  Simplify the integration. Ideally, the solution should automate the integration from retail systems to the Amazon Platform, eliminating the need for complex technical discussions, keeping the focus on the business value offered by Amazon Services, where it should be. A good partner will enable rapid e-commerce integration to the Amazon Platform, bringing the merchant from signing to go-live in days instead of months. We can do integration Amazon with Netsuite, Quickbooks, PeachTree, SAP or other back-end applications. Amazon soap or XML based integration solution we provide is one of the state of the art Solution for Amazon order fulfillment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some online retailers have reported sales increases in the exponentially. The top 10 retailers over Christmas 2008 averaged a 37% increase in visitors over 2007.  Multi-Channel retailing exposes great sales opportunities which can be tapped into using Channel Integration <strong>e-commerce integration</strong>.</p>
<p>Our interface between <strong>bricks and mortar </strong>stores and <strong>online stores</strong> minimizes the common pitfalls encountered when there is no link between website stock and store stock. The greater your website performs the greater the need for <strong>integration</strong>. By implementing Channel Integration <strong>e-commerce Supply Chain EDI integration</strong>, sales channels, vendors suppliers, customers are synchronised at each sales channel maximising order fulfilment resulting in happy customers online and in-store.</p>
<p><span>But the concept of retailers selling through multiple channels is not necessarily the same as true multi-channel retailing, which began with web-technology-based systems that process customer, product and shipment data across multiple channels to effectively turn multiple channels into a single, customer-focused retailing environment, experts say</span></p>
