FBM and FBA Amazon orders automation

Hisco's Amazon scripts broke during the MWS to SP-API transition. We rebuilt the codebase on SP-API, then automated FBM and FBA orders end to end into their ERP.

Challenge

  • Amazon automation scripts failing during the transition from MWS to SP-API.
  • Legacy code with outdated components, inefficient libraries and suboptimal functions.
  • FBM and FBA orders had to reach the ERP without losing order information.
02

Environment

  • Distributor with 32 stocking locations across the US, Mexico and Canada.
  • Internal ERP, Digital Shipper for shipping, Blackbox for packaging.
  • Live production order flow; edge cases surfaced only during testing.
03

Intervention

  • Rebuilt the codebase and migrated all essential endpoints from MWS to SP-API.
  • FBM flow: orders into ERP, carrier choice, label purchase, tracking IDs synced back.
  • FBA flow: order status sync into ERP with stock logic and HOLD STATUS flags.
  • Tested the whole system and adjusted automations for every edge case found.
04

Outcome

  • FBM and FBA orders run through one automated path into the ERP.
  • Tracking IDs update automatically in Amazon or the ERP as appropriate.
  • Engagement since 2022 has grown into several follow-on projects.
Legacy MWS code is replaced by SP-API; an automation layer moves FBM and FBA orders into the ERP, selects shipping, buys labels via Digital Shipper and Blackbox, and writes tracking IDs back to Amazon.migratednew orderstracking IDsMWS CODELegacy scriptsSP-APIFBM + FBA ordersORDER AUTOMATIONAWS / Node.jsERPOrders / HOLD statusDIGITAL SHIPPERShipping labelsBLACKBOXPackaging
