While Shopify does offer robust inventory management features, ERP systems like SAP Business One offer much greater scope, covering your entire business.
Here are some reasons why you should consider SAP Business One for your eCommerce business:
This is one of the most common reasons for investing in ERP. Systems and procedures that were acceptable when your business was smaller may now be limiting your ability to grow. SAP Business One supports business growth by streamlining operations and improving access to information.
While Shopify may well have robust inventory management, what about offline orders? What about the rest of your company? SAP Business One ensures seamless data flow across departments and reduces the need for multiple standalone systems. It is a single integrated solution for Financial Management, Analytics & Business Intelligence, Sales & Customer Management, Inventory & Distribution, Purchasing & MRP, and Production & Resource Planning.
SAP Business One is more than just a great ERP solution. It is a powerful and comprehensive Financial Management solution that automates everyday accounting tasks, improves visibility of financial operations, and helps you to optimise working capital.
SAP Business One provides a unified view of your entire business with real-time information including sales analysis, profit and loss, cashflow, and inventory.
Automation saves time and money. It reduces manual work, minimises scope for error, and frees up your team to focus on strategic activities. Automation can help in other ways too. For example, MRP in SAP Business One ensures that you always have the right levels of stock to meet customer demand. Overstocking is expensive and running out of stock is bad for sales and customer retention.
An integrated solution for eCommerce, ERP, and logistics improves customer experience. Your website has access to accurate information regarding stock availability and pricing. Order processing and fulfilment is seamless.
SAP Business One Cloud will seamlessly integrate with all leading platforms for eCommerce, including Adobe eCommerce (formerly Magento), Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and others. To learn more, please download one of our guides to SAP Business One or call me now on 0113 273 7788.
