Shopify is a widely used eCommerce platform and one of Forbes Top 10 (1). According to a recent Shopify Blog entitled eCommerce ERP integrations are essential for Enterprise success (2), there are 8 features you should look for when choosing an ERP:
SAP Business One Cloud is the leading choice of ERP for small to mid-size companies. So, how does an integrated Shopify and SAP Business One solution stack up against these requirements?
SAP Business One Cloud is a scalable solution for small to mid-size companies. Integration with Shopify is provided via an approved Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS). IPaaS platforms are more cost-effective and easier to use than bespoke alternatives.
Automate the flow of information between SAP Business One Cloud and your website or marketplace with real-time updates for sales orders, payments, fulfilment, product information, stock levels, price changes, and customers.
Enhance stock control with real-time visibility of inventory, demand, and supplier performance. Improved forecasting optimises stock levels to prevent over or understocking.
Automation to track stock movement throughout your organisation reduces error. MRP with customisable alerts ensures timely reordering so you always have the right level of stock when you need it.
Manage stock across multiple warehouses and bin locations. Set up allocation rules to optimise stock movement and reduce picking times.
Streamline the entire sales process and improve customer experience - from first marketing contact through to order fulfilment, invoicing, and payment processing.
Automate sales orders and deliveries by leveraging integration with DPD, UPS, ParcelForce, ShipStation etc.
Digitise key business processes and systems, cutting costs and eliminating human error.
Maximise opportunities for up-selling and cross-selling with real-time display of popular, recommended, and complementary products.
Maintain a full service history for the entire service or warranty period. Improve customer experience by maintaining a searchable knowledge base of solutions.
Real-time visibility of stock helps manage customer expectations and promotes trust.
Connect colleagues to a single source of marketing data, including marketing scripts, promotions, and campaign performance.
Empower faster, more agile decision-making with dashboards providing real-time information from right across the business including sales analysis, profit and loss, cashflow, and inventory.
