Marketworks announces support for Amazon

E-commerce solutions provider Marketworks has added functionality to its system enabling customers to sell from Amazon. By integrating Amazon's Merchants@ programme into its e-commerce platform, customers of the multi-channel online services and technology company can now sell through Amazon without having to upgrade or change their inventory and order processing software.

By using a platform such as Marketworks e-retailers are able to automate features and reduce the time required to list, manage and process sales from multiple online channels, including their own site, eBay and Amazon. Regardless of where orders are generated they can be processed and managed in the same way and stock levels shown consistently across the multiple channels.

Kyle Antcliff, VP International at Marketworks commented: "Amazon represents a significant opportunity for many of our UK customers, the majority of which have already established successful store front and eBay businesses and are now looking for new growth opportunities. Third-party sales represent over 30% of Amazon sales and, because people are used to buying from Amazon, it has earned their respect and has a strong reputation for service and quality."
