Bots for Hire: Automating Amazon Deductions for You
Robotic Process Automation from iNymbus was specifically made to handle retailer deductions and chargebacks. Here's my perspective on how you can add them to your team today.
Shortages, Deductions, and the Price of Cost Recovery
Working in sales at iNymbus gives me a chance to speak with people across a variety of roles on the impact of retailer deductions to their business. Speak with anyone in credit, finance, eCommerce, or sales and you'll hear the same grumblings-- it is time consuming and tedious!
Teams work hard to resolve and recover revenue deducted from your payments . In working with our customers, we see this represents on average over 80% of Amazon deductions. Deliver anything outside of the correct minute, packaging, or quantity and expect a nominal deduction. Multiply this across hundreds, if not, thousands of orders and you're looking at a hefty dollar sum.
The common response in attempting to scale this challenge is to work overtime, build larger departments, or launch large IT expansion projects. We have found that using lightweight RPA Bots (robotic process automation) specifically targeted to address retailer deductions and chargebacks is the key to tackling this problem.
The Challenge of More Amazon and eCommerce BusinessDue to recent COVID restrictions, companies have experienced an growth of their Amazon and Walmart.com business. While they are enjoying the uptick in business, there are those who are concerned about the time consuming process to resolve the incoming deductions and chargebacks.
