In the Amazon Vendor Central ecosystem, Direct Fulfillment (DF) has emerged as a vital strategy for brands and large-scale wholesalers seeking faster consumer reach and higher operational efficiency. However, the high fulfillment standards of DF often present significant challenges in inventory management, system responsiveness, and shipping accuracy.
Unlike standard purchase orders (POs), DF orders must be shipped in full within a specified time once accepted. Partial fulfillment is strictly prohibited by Amazon. A single out-of-stock item can result in the cancellation of the entire order—negatively impacting a supplier’s performance score and future PO allocations. This raises the bar for system capabilities, cross-functional coordination, and operational agility.
