Status quo analysis

During the start-up process, we learn from you the status quo of your current situation, resources and what help you expect from us. Based on this, we will work with you to develop and implement a tailor-made hybrid strategy.

Strategic Approach

After the status quo analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of both Amazon systems are assessed. This is followed by data analysis and implementation.
Benefits
Drawbacks
Vendor
The website message “Sold and shipped by Amazon” increases customer trust
The vendor business is increasingly focused on self-service and a contact person must be purchased
Working directly with Amazon enables better participation in cross-site marketing events
Amazon introduces new head conditions at least once a year
solicited
Direct collaboration is 100% focused on B2B and Amazon
handles the entire customer service and customer returns processing
No influence on selling price
The vendor does not act directly as a retailer and thus avoids possible channel conflicts
Delivery to up to 20 warehouses (and the trend is rising)
Amazon provides volume forecasting so that internal quantity planning can be better controlled
Fines if Amazon guidelines are not met
There may be late payments and Amazon will collect partial reserves without communicating this to the vendor in advance
Overstock returns often cause problems
Seller
As a seller, the selling price can be controlled by yourself
Internal organizational structure must be designed for B2C
Products can be set up faster and better (e.g.: availability)
A good structure is required so that the business can be managed in a data-driven manner (e.g.: availability planning)
Provided via Seller Central, the most important business reports (including traffic) are provided for
Payments from Amazon are made within 14 days
There are no fines for late delivery, for example
Internationalization is easier and more efficient to implement via SellerCentral

Data analysis and implementation

The data analysis starts with an Amazon-related product range evaluation and then a dedicated profitability analysis is created for the various Vendor, Seller Self-Delivery and Seller FBA approaches. This forms the basis for deciding on the orientation of the product range.

At ritter, we have noticed that the use of the Amazon marketplace by our retailers has increased significantly in recent years. The Amazon platform offers our retailers the opportunity to significantly increase their reach. We support our retail partners by optimizing our content so that our retailers achieve a higher conversion rate and measurably higher traffic leads to more sales. In addition, it is our goal to strengthen the brand identity of our entrepreneur on Amazon through targeted branding. With Faru, we have found a partner who understands the Amazon business — with all its peculiarities. In daily collaboration, you can see that Stefan has been with Amazon from the start and that the entire team has internalized the DNA. I enjoy the trusting cooperation and our — almost blind — common understanding. In my opinion, the Faru team's biggest strength is adapting to the different requirements of your business partners.

Benjamin Becker, Sales Director

Through cooperation with FARU, we were able to establish clear structures and know-how so that the Amazon business can be expanded sustainably. The focus of our project was in fact on input factors: 1) selection, 2) availability and 3) price/marketing. FARU's reports gave us new transparency on these factors and the measures that were proposed were immediately comprehensible to us and worked in the end.
