View on-demand: http://bit.ly/2Kix3Mb - With Amazon accounting for over 40% of U.S. eCommerce sales in 2017, it is no surprise that millions of merchants are partnering with Amazon as third-party sellers, vendors, or outsourced fulfillment partners. Whichever programs that your company is participating in or are considering to participate, it is important to have data between Amazon Seller Central, Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA), and/or Vendor Central synchronized with NetSuite, online storefront, and other systems. Without an integration between these systems, manual processes can slow down your operations and make it difficult to scale in times of peak sales periods. Slow processes can also lead to poor customer reviews and put your Amazon listings at risk. View webinar on-demand: http://bit.ly/2Kix3Mb
