An ERP system, also known as Enterprise Resource Planning, is designed to centralize your core back-office processes like accounting, sales, CRM, Inventory, and other sales channels.

‍

Since ERPs work as a process integration engine, they unify various customer-facing activities such as orders, fulfilment, and shipping. That’s why many Shopify users turn to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to run more efficiently and effectively.

ERP software helps businesses make better decisions by providing accurate inventory data and optimal levels of stock. This is key to reducing errors and improving efficiency through the automation of back-end processes. An ERP system that’s optimized for inventory management automates necessary functions so that stock purchasing, logistics, inventory, and transferring are in sync.

‍

As brands continue growing, supply chain complexity adds up, and maintaining your ERP becomes impossible. To enable a seamless customer journey, brands must integrate their ERP into other applications.

Benefits to our integration include:

‍

Flexible and scalable integrations for growing businesses: Our ERP integration allows you to configure the integrations to fit your needs. It’s also an agile integration, helping your business reduce risk-prone manual processes and focus on growth.

‍

A single platform to automate and manage multiple processes: Manage all your integrations through a user-friendly headless ready platform, built for business users and technical professionals.

‍

Timely order fulfillment and accurate product availability: Get up-to-date product data to faster order processing. Our Dashboard automatically replays workflows, so users can download data tables for easier data reconciliation and auditing.

Our consultative approach asks merchants to tell us what model of integration matches their current strategy best — the traditional ERP-Centric Model or the Hybrid-Centric Model.

‍

The ERP-Centric Model is often traditional and uses the ERP as the brand’s central point of truth, meaning it is that data center in which all data flows to and from other applications. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this model of data movement and there are a lot of integration solutions that can help with this model.

‍

The Hybrid-Centric Model is slightly different and often uses the primary eCommerce platform, like Shopify as their central point of data truth. This is also a perfectly acceptable method of data movement and often makes the most sense to DTC brands. From an integration point of view, it can complicate things and special strategic attention needs to be placed on understanding how data flows through the Merchants’ infrastructure and where it needs to be.

We specialize in discerning what type of integration strategy is needed based on the chosen model. Our consultation process allows us to identify what the best overall strategy is for the technology stack being used.
