What is Amazon Multi-Channel Distribution
FBA INTRODUCTION
Amazon Multi-Channel Distribution (MCD) helps sellers to replenish inventory from AWD warehouses to B2B sales and distribution channels other than Amazon, so sellers only need to monitor a unified inventory pool (AWD) to manage omni-channel inventory.
Amazon Multi-Channel Distribution (MCD) Benefits
Easy to manage
MCD can help sellers integrate supply warehouses from various channels into AWD to enable a single inventory pool to manage omni-channel delivery.
Cost of integration
As the scale of the business grows and new channels expand, MCD can help sellers reduce the overall amount of inventory required by each channel.
Streamline operations
Once the inventory is delivered to Amazon's AWD warehouse, Amazon will process the replenishment to the Amazon fulfillment center within a 7-14 day transit time period. Sellers can check the end-to-end inventory status at any time without having to deal with multiple logistics service providers.
Amazon multi-channel dispatch (MCD) operation mechanism
Once the seller has sent the shipment to AWD through First Haul Logistics, you can distribute your inventory through the following two channels:
Replenish to Amazon Fulfilment Center (FBA)
Replenish goods to Amazon fulfillment centers through AWD automatic or manual replenishment. When sellers choose to automatically restock, Amazon will use a series of algorithms to seamlessly integrate with Amazon Logistics to automatically restock inventory to FBA for sellers.
Distribution to Other Sales Channels (MCD)
Multi-Channel Distribution (MCD) helps sellers ship products in bulk from Amazon Inbound Distribution Centers (AWD) to other online and physical sales channels, meaning that sellers can use a unified inventory to replenish all of their sales and distribution channels rather than just to Amazon fulfillment centers.
