Three pillars.
One platform.
Built on your ERP.
ShopCtrl is the financial control layer between Amazon Vendor Central and your ERP. One system of record for finance, vendor operations, and IT.
Amazon is the only major customer without a system of record.
Every other large wholesale customer flows through your ERP. Amazon doesn’t. That gap is where margin leaks.
Every other major customer
The ERP holds the truth.
- POs flow through ERP validation before confirmation
- Shipments match against documented contract terms
- Disputes filed from a single evidence chain
- Reconciliation closes the loop with finance
Amazon Vendor Central
The truth sits in fragments.
- POs arrive twice weekly on Amazon’s terms, not yours
- Deductions applied retroactively, in unrecognised categories
- Evidence scattered across ERP, WMS, carrier, EDI
- Settlement variances booked to adjustment accounts
The result
3 to 8% of gross Amazon revenue leaks every year.
On a €100M Amazon channel, that’s €3M to €8M annually. Persistent, not invisible: structural.
It persists because it lives in the gap between Amazon and your ERP. No one owns that gap.
Prevent. Recover. Reconcile.
Recovery alone catches margin already lost. Prevention stops it upstream. Reconciliation closes the loop with finance. ShopCtrl runs all three on the same ERP-native architecture — one platform from chargeback to journal entry.
Prevent
Stop margin loss before it exists.
ShopCtrl validates every Amazon PO against contractual terms in your ERP. Generates compliant ASNs in real-time. Triggers carrier booking from validated data. Chargebacks caught upstream are deductions that never exist.
Outcome
40–60% of preventable chargebacks eliminated before settlement
Recover
Automated dispute filing at machine throughput.
Every deduction category monitored continuously. Evidence assembled from ERP, WMS, carrier data, and EDI documents. Disputes filed within Amazon’s case windows — at a pace no analyst team can match manually.
Outcome
70%+ win rate on disputable claims, fully automated
Reconcile
Three-way matching, audit-grade.
Amazon PO, shipment, and remittance reconciled against ERP AR in real time. Variances flow back as system-generated journal entries with full evidence chains — not as Excel exports or manual adjustments.
Outcome
Amazon closes alongside the rest of the P&L. Audit-ready by default.
One platform. Three buying conversations.
Enterprise Amazon Vendor decisions are never made by one person. ShopCtrl is built to land for all three at the same time.
For finance
CFOs and Controllers
- Quantified margin recovery, traceable from prevention through reconciliation
- Audit-grade reporting on every disputed claim, with full evidence chains
- Amazon channel reconciled with the same rigor as the rest of the business
- Multi-market consistency across European, US, and APAC programmes
For operations
Vendor Operations
- Dispute throughput beyond the analyst team ceiling
- Standardised workflows across countries and product categories
- PO validation that catches problems upstream, before they reach settlement
- Analyst time redirected from manual filing to strategic improvement
For IT
IT and ERP teams

- No rip and replace. Your ERP stays the system of record
- Maintained as Amazon evolves: API changes absorbed by ShopCtrl
- Predictable architecture with clear logging and controlled integrations
ERP native. Not connector attached.
Most Amazon platforms treat your ERP as an export destination. ShopCtrl treats it as the system of record.
The common approach
Observability layer
Data pulled from Amazon, presented in a dashboard. Finance gets a CSV. Your ERP stays untouched, your AR stays out of sync.

Anonymised audit results across the three pillars. Each based on real customer data, validated against ERP and Amazon settlement records.
Pillar 1 · Prevent
Premium fashion brand
Recurring chargebacks for ASN accuracy and PO compliance issues. Manual validation could not keep pace with volume.
73%
Chargebacks reduced in 6 months
Pillar 2 · Recover
Consumer electronics manufacturer
€3.2M in disputable deductions sitting unfiled across shortage, pricing, and co op fee categories.
€2.4M
Recovered in first quarter, 78% win rate
Pillar 3 · Reconcile
Industrial distributor
Quarterly close on Amazon channel took 5 weeks of manual matching against ERP receivables.
5w → 3d
Close cycle compressed by 92%
What surprises most CFOs is not the size of the deduction gap. It is that 40 to 60 percent of those chargebacks could have been prevented in the first place.

European fashion group
€100M+ Amazon GMV, SAP S/4HANA
My team used to spend two weeks every quarter filing disputes manually. Now that time goes into supplier relations and process improvement. Throughput on disputes is up by an order of magnitude.
Consumer electronics manufacturer
€60M Amazon GMV, Dynamics 365
Integration with our S/4HANA environment was less disruptive than we expected. ShopCtrl absorbs the Amazon side changes, so my team can focus on the rest of the ERP roadmap.

Direct lineMost enterprise vendors do not know how much margin they are losing on Amazon. The audit takes a week. The conversation takes twenty minutes. The clarity is worth both.
Two ways to start
See what Amazon owes you. Talk to someone who knows.
