Turbocharge SAP Distribution: Arcus Meets Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment

In the fast-moving world of SAP order management, leveraging Amazon as a third-party logistics provider can unlock new operational flexibility. CONTAX Arcus customers already benefit from a fully outsourced EDI landscape at a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions. Now Arcus brings that same ease and efficiency to Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment integration.

Why SAP Customers Add Amazon MCF

Most SAP deployments rely on owned warehouses or existing 3PL partners for daily order fulfillment. Amazon MCF can serve as an elastic extension of those resources rather than a permanent replacement. Seasonal peaks, promotional events or sudden surges in demand often strain internal capacity and drive up costs. Amazon MCF offers nationwide 1- to 2-day shipping, real-time inventory updates, and seamless multi-channel coverage to handle those fluctuations.

Arcus API Integration for Amazon MCF

Arcus was designed to simplify trading partner onboarding and transaction management under a single managed service model. With its API integration capabilities, Arcus can serve as the ideal bridge between SAP ERP or S/4HANA and Amazon MCF. Key features include:

• End-to-end partner onboarding managed by CONTAX with no upfront fees
• Real-time order transmission from SAP into Amazon MCF
• Automatic retrieval of shipping confirmations and tracking data in SAP
• Unified visibility of Amazon warehouse stock alongside internal inventory
• Pay-per-transaction pricing and ongoing support at no additional cost

Benefits for SAP Teams

Existing Arcus customers know how little internal effort it takes to add a new partner. The same streamlined process applies when connecting to Amazon as a 3PL. CONTAX handles API credentials, message mapping, error monitoring, and protocol updates. SAP teams stay focused on business rules and exception handling while Arcus manages the technical details.
