Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) has rolled out a significant update, introducing case and pallet shipment labeling capabilities for off-Amazon orders. This enhancement allows sellers using AWD to streamline their inventory movements to non-Amazon destinations, such as Walmart’s WFS, by adding necessary shipment labels directly through AWD.
What’s New in AWD?
With this latest feature, Amazon AWD has addressed a common challenge faced by sellers: managing logistics for orders that need to fulfill through channels outside of Amazon. Sellers can now apply specific labels, like those required by Walmart’s WFS, directly to their shipments, facilitating compliance and smooth logistics operations across different retail platforms.
Key Benefits of the Update
This update provides several advantages for sellers:
- Simplified Logistics: By enabling the direct labeling of cases and pallets, AWD simplifies the process of preparing and sending large shipments to other retailers.
- Expanded Reach: Sellers can more easily expand their selling channels beyond Amazon, reaching customers through other major retailers without the logistical complexity previously involved.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlining the preparation for off-Amazon channels can lead to faster processing times and potentially reduced costs due to more efficient operations.
