Why do Businesses need to Integrate SAP Business One with eCommerce Platforms?
For eCommerce businesses, all the activity from the customer’s end happens on the website, which is powered and managed by an eCommerce platform.
However, most of the backend activity within the company is managed within the ERP system, so without integration, businesses will be tackling two powerful but disparate systems.
Then every order placed on the web shop must be manually entered into SAP B1. If a first-time customer orders, the customer details must also be entered into the ERP system. Inventory levels also need to be updated with each order dispatch, as well as when more items are procured or restocked in the warehouse.
And these are just the common eCommerce operations. Changes in pricing or variable pricing structure, invoicing, and fulfillment details must also be synced between the two systems. Put things into perspective for a business that receives hundreds of orders a day – they would need a team of employees just to sync orders daily.
On the other hand, by integrating SAP Business One with an eCommerce platform like Shopify, all the above-mentioned processes can be automated. For example, all orders on the Shopify store will automatically be created in the ERP as well. any inventory level or pricing changes made in the ERP system will also be automatically reflected in the web shop immediately. You can even make further customizations for processes and scenarios unique to your business.
Simply put, your sales cycle runs on autopilot from start to finish. You save time, effort, and money, and your business flourishes.
But don’t just take our word for it.
Take a look at some of the top SAP integration case studies where APPSeCONNECT has helped businesses like yours overcome various operational challenges and accelerate their growth by syncing SAP Business One with Shopify.
