How Tightly works with Amazon MCF

Step 1 — Connect MCF & import what’s live

Authenticate Amazon and choose locations. Tightly imports existing open POs/inbounds, on-hand by FC, and receipts so DOH starts accurate.

Step 2 — Ongoing PO sync

New POs you raise (in Tightly or Amazon workflows) and any changes to quantities or promised dates sync automatically, updating the timeline and reorder points.

Step 3 — Plan & execute

Run Smart Replenishment to get explainable recommendations (timeline, DOH, lead time, inbound coverage). Create supplier POs in one click; as Amazon receives stock, ETAs/receipts roll into future plans and InStock ship-by dates.

Key features for MCF users

1. Explainable, FC-aware forecasting

   See recommended quantities with timeline, DOH, lead time, and inbound coverage for each Amazon location.

2. Live PO import & change tracking

   On connect, Tightly ingests all open POs/inbounds; after that, new POs and edits sync automatically so planning never drifts from reality.

3. Reusable replenishment policies

   Define targets, buffers, and supplier rules once; apply to SKU sets on a weekly/monthly cadence.

4. Convert to POs in seconds

   One click groups lines by supplier, MOQ, case pack, and lead time. Send vendor-ready PDFs; receipts at Amazon close the loop and update DOH.

5. Keep selling with InStock

   Show clear “ships by” dates tied to Amazon inbound ETAs; cap backorders to confirmed inbound and auto-fulfil as receipts land.

6. Alerts that prevent surprises

   Get notified when an ETA slips, inbound quantity shrinks, or a SKU is projected to stock out.
