In order to keep our (and your!) business running smoothly, we worked really hard on turning <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mckenzieservices.com\/wp\/2023\/06\/21\/why-our-software-is-so-epic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EPIC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from \u201cjust\u201d an inventory management system into a system that can plug into Amazon via the API and create and complete shipments. EPIC can also function in tandem with Inventory Lab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some reasons why using the API is superior to using the new workflow on Amazon:<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The API:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assigns shipment ID and location right away (so we know which units to package together)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makes it easier to adjust inventory if needed (sometimes you cannot adjust inventory at ALL on Amazon anymore)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pushes expiration dates to Amazon once the shipment is ready, rather than asking the person creating the shipment to frontload the dates. <\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also allows more than one expiration date per product per \u201cworkflow,\u201d which the new workflow does not.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makes it much\u00a0 easier to get the shipping labels<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can void and redo postage without voiding the entire shipment (no longer an option on Amazon)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no errors on shipping labels, because there is no human typing in the information manually which leads to typos etc\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The API utilizes 2d barcodes smoother than the workflow, which allows all box <\/span>content to be easily accessible by Amazon, leading to less receiving mistakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, we have our own tech support for EPIC, who actually built the system, and can help us troubleshoot or at least understand ALL errors. But if Amazon is down, or having errors, we just have to wait until it resolves itself. We are at the mercy of their Engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore we have more insight to fix the problem ourselves, or reach out to you if necessary or the problem is something that needs to be fixed on your end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To note, if you used an API to create the shipment in Amazon, and you want to use the API to complete the shipment (you most likely do!), then please do NOT try to open the shipment on Amazon while it is still in progress. If it asks you if you want to \u201cconvert\u201d the shipment, please do NOT do so, and exit the page. Converting the shipment will make it so that NO API can edit the shipment any longer, and all of the above will no longer be true. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any issues come up after that, the entire shipment may need to be voided and redone, or can lead to mistakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compared to the original \u201cSend\/Replenish Inventory\u201d function, the new \u201cSend to Amazon\u201d workflow works backwards, and that has caused problems for prep centers like us who thrive on efficiency and accuracy.\u00a0 The new workflow is really designed with the individual in mind &#8211; the seller who is doing their own shipments from start to finish [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[160,81,171,103,105,162,159,172,161,170,173],"class_list":["post-2585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-amazon-fba","tag-amazon-api","tag-amazon-fba","tag-efficiency","tag-epic","tag-inventory-management","tag-inventory-management-software","tag-new-workflow","tag-prep-centers","tag-proprietary-software","tag-shipment-management","tag-workflow-optimization"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why use an API, such as EPIC, instead of using Amazon\u2019s new workflow? - McKenzie Services<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"McKenzie Services recommends using the API on Amazon.
