The Challenge

The Disconnect: Manual eCommerce Operations & ERP Silos

Managing a thriving Amazon Seller Central business while maintaining accurate records in your TIMS ERP can be a monumental challenge. Disconnected systems lead to operational inefficiencies, costly errors, and delayed insights, hindering growth and profitability.

  • Manual order entry from Amazon into TIMS is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Inaccurate inventory levels lead to overselling on Amazon or missed sales opportunities.
  • Complex Amazon settlement reports require tedious manual reconciliation in TIMS, delaying financial close.
  • Product data inconsistencies between TIMS and Amazon result in incorrect listings or customer dissatisfaction.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into sales, returns, and inventory across both platforms.
  • Difficulty in scaling operations during peak seasons like Prime Day or Black Friday.

Deep Dive: Integration Architecture & Data Flow

Our integration solution orchestrates data exchange between TIMS and Amazon Seller Central using a robust, API-first, and event-driven architecture. The iPaaS acts as an intelligent middleware, ensuring secure, reliable, and scalable data synchronization.

Data Flow Steps

Connect: Establish secure API connections using OAuth 2.0 for Amazon SP-API and appropriate authentication (OAuth 2.0/API keys) for TIMS.

Configure: Utilize pre-built connectors and visual tools to configure data sources and targets.

Map & Transform: Design data mappings and transformations using the iPaaS's visual canvas, leveraging AI for suggestions.

Define Workflows: Build multi-step workflows with conditional logic, error handling, and retry mechanisms.

Data Touchpoints

TIMS Customer <-> Amazon Order (Buyer Info)
TIMS Product/Item <-> Amazon Product/Listing (ASIN, SellerSKU)
TIMS Inventory Item/Stock <-> Amazon InventoryItem
TIMS Sales Order <-> Amazon Order
TIMS Invoice <-> Amazon Order (for payment application)
TIMS Payment <-> Amazon PaymentTransaction (from Settlement Report)
TIMS General Ledger Entry <-> Amazon PaymentTransaction (from Settlement Report)
TIMS Shipment/Fulfillment <-> Amazon Shipment

"The core data flow involves Amazon Seller Central (via SP-API webhooks) triggering the iPaaS for new orders or inventory changes. The iPaaS then processes, transforms, and pushes this data to TIMS via its APIs. Conversely, inventory updates or product data changes originating in TIMS are captured by the iPaaS and pushed to Amazon Seller Central via feeds. Financial settlement reports flow from Amazon, through the iPaaS for detailed parsing and reconciliation, into TIMS's General Ledger."

Data Mapping

Harmonizing Key Entities: TIMS & Amazon Seller Central

Effective integration hinges on robust master data management and precise mapping between corresponding entities in TIMS and Amazon. Our iPaaS facilitates this harmonization, ensuring data consistency and accuracy across your enterprise.

Order

The core sales transaction. Amazon's 'Order' entity maps to TIMS's 'Sales Order'.

Amazon Seller Central Fields

SalesOrderID ExternalOrderID CustomerID OrderDate Status TotalAmount LineItems (Product, Quantity, Price) ShippingAddress

TIMS Fields

AmazonOrderId PurchaseDate OrderStatus BuyerInfo ShippingAddress OrderTotal FulfillmentChannel OrderItem (ASIN, SellerSKU, QuantityOrdered, ItemPrice)

Mapping Notes

Amazon's 'BuyerInfo' is limited for privacy; map 'BuyerName' and 'ShippingAddress' to TIMS 'CustomerID' (or create new if not found). 'OrderItem' details map to TIMS 'Sales Order Line Items'. 'AmazonOrderId' becomes 'ExternalOrderID' in TIMS.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /api/v1/sales_orders Create new sales orders in TIMS from Amazon purchases.
GET /api/v1/sales_orders/{id} Retrieve specific sales order details, including line items and status, for fulfillment updates.
PUT /api/v1/inventory/{sku}/quantity Update inventory levels for specific SKUs in TIMS, reflecting Amazon sales or returns.
GET /api/v1/inventory/{sku} Retrieve current inventory levels for a specific SKU from TIMS for Amazon listings.
POST /api/v1/customers Create new customer records in TIMS from Amazon buyer information.
POST /api/v1/payments Record incoming payments in TIMS and apply them to outstanding invoices.
GET /api/v1/products Retrieve product catalog details, including pricing and attributes, from TIMS.
POST /api/v1/generalledgerentries Post journal entries directly to the TIMS General Ledger for Amazon settlement reconciliation.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Status Mapping: Translate Amazon's OrderStatus (e.g., 'Unshipped', 'PartiallyShipped') to TIMS's Sales Order Status (e.g., 'Open', 'Partially Fulfilled').
  • Price Component Aggregation: Combine Amazon's `ItemPrice`, `ShippingPrice`, `PromotionDiscount` into a single `TotalAmount` for TIMS Sales Orders, while also breaking down revenue and discounts for GL entries.
  • SKU Harmonization: Map Amazon's `SellerSKU` to TIMS's `SKU`, and handle cases where a single TIMS SKU might correspond to multiple Amazon ASINs (variants).
  • Address Standardization: Cleanse and format shipping/billing addresses from Amazon to match TIMS's address format requirements.
  • Fee Categorization: Dynamically map various Amazon `TransactionType` and `AmountType` (e.g., 'FBAPERORDERFEE', 'REFERRALFEE') to specific TIMS General Ledger accounts.
  • Customer Deduplication: Apply fuzzy matching logic to identify existing TIMS customers based on limited Amazon buyer data (e.g., name, address) to prevent duplicates.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • TIMS API Unavailable: Automated retries with exponential backoff.
  • Amazon SP-API Rate Limit Exceeded: Intelligent queuing and throttling before retrying.
  • Invalid TIMS Sales Order Data: Route to dead-letter queue, notify business user for correction.
  • SKU Mismatch: Flag for review, or use AI to suggest alternative mappings if confidence is high.
  • Amazon Settlement Report Parsing Error: Isolate problematic transactions, continue processing valid ones, alert for manual review.
  • Inventory Conflict: Apply defined conflict resolution rule (e.g., TIMS is master), log discrepancy, or alert for manual decision.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General FAQs

▸ What are the primary benefits of integrating TIMS with Amazon Seller Central?
The primary benefits include real-time inventory synchronization to prevent overselling, automated order-to-fulfillment workflows, streamlined financial reconciliation of Amazon settlement reports, improved data accuracy, and significant reductions in manual data entry and operational costs.

Financial FAQs

▸ How does this integration handle Amazon's complex settlement reports for accounting?
Our iPaaS solution automates the download and parsing of Amazon settlement reports. It intelligently extracts and categorizes all transaction details (sales, fees, refunds, adjustments), maps them to the appropriate General Ledger accounts in TIMS, and posts automated journal entries for seamless financial reconciliation. AI can further assist in categorizing complex fee types and flagging exceptions.

Inventory FAQs

▸ Can I synchronize FBA and FBM inventory between TIMS and Amazon?
Yes, absolutely. The integration supports bi-directional inventory synchronization for both Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) models. Inventory levels in TIMS are updated based on Amazon sales, and TIMS stock changes are pushed to Amazon listings in real-time, ensuring accurate availability across both channels.

Technology FAQs

▸ What role does AI play in this TIMS and Amazon integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent mapping suggestions, automated data validation and anomaly detection (e.g., flagging unusual order values or inventory discrepancies), smart reconciliation assistance for settlement reports, and even predictive insights for inventory and sales forecasting. This reduces manual effort and improves data quality.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does the integration manage Amazon's API rate limits?
Our iPaaS is designed with built-in intelligent queuing and throttling mechanisms. It batches requests where possible, implements exponential backoff for retries, and prioritizes event-driven triggers (webhooks) over frequent polling to minimize API calls and stay within Amazon's strict rate limits, ensuring consistent data flow even during peak periods.
▸ How does this solution handle errors or data discrepancies during integration?
The iPaaS includes comprehensive error handling strategies. Transient errors trigger automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. Persistent errors are routed to dead-letter queues for manual review and correction, preventing data loss. Centralized logging, monitoring dashboards, and real-time alerts ensure rapid identification and resolution of any integration failures or data discrepancies.

Customization FAQs

▸ Is it possible to customize the integration workflows for my specific business rules?
Yes. Our low-code/no-code iPaaS features a visual workflow designer and a powerful rules engine. This allows business users and analysts to easily customize data mappings, add conditional logic, define custom transformations, and integrate with other systems, all without writing extensive code, tailoring the integration to your unique operational needs.

Security FAQs

▸ What security measures are in place for sensitive data exchanged between TIMS and Amazon?
Security is paramount. We employ robust authentication (OAuth 2.0 for both systems), ensure all data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2+, implement least-privilege access, and adhere to data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Sensitive credentials are stored in secure vaults, and comprehensive audit trails are maintained for full traceability.
