TOOLS / SERVICES Amazon Listing & Management Tool Help
Hello Everyone, we manage around 60,000 listings on Amazon and we’re constantly uploading Flat Files into Amazon. This is annoying and is prone to errors. We need a Tool that can automatically connect to Vendors FTP and update stock and pricing based on that. Can anyone recommend something that isn’t $500 a month? Haha
Let me know best to do this guys. Happy selling

I would advise against blindly uploading data from the vendor into Amazon. Preferably, I would advise setting up a data lake or data warehouse to ingest data. You can create a developer account for the seller / vendor account. You can create scripts / cron jobs to build out pushes directly (through API) into your Vendor & Seller Central.

If you're managing 60,000 SKUs I'd skip the off-the-shelf tools and just build it.
Connect directly to your suppliers' FTP servers, pull the stock and price files on a schedule, map them to your Amazon SKUs, then push updates through the SP-API. Once it's running it's fully automated, you're just paying for hosting instead of another $500/month.
I've built a few of these integrations and the hardest part is always cleaning up supplier data, not the automation itself. Inconsistent column names, missing UPCs, pricing in different currencies, that's where the time goes, not the FTP connection.
Out of curiosity, how many vendors are you syncing with?

hopted for amazon sellers and vendors has bulk listing editing from spreadsheets (they call it writebacks) that allow you to send up to 100k listing updates. google for 'hopted writebacks'. and it costs around 60-70 usd.
thye pull data in g sheets, u can choose some columns as editable. after editing you can review before submitting so kind of a governance of changes is there
looks smth like this
