why integration?


Integrating your e-commerce website with your back office business management, accounts and stock holding systems can realise many business benefits and cost saving efficiencies through seamless data and process flow.

Integrating your e-commerce website with your back office business management, accounts and stock holding system can realise many business benefits and cost saving efficiencies, for example, access to live stock information, drawn from your back office system, can allow customers to place orders confident of product availability and saving them the call to check stock levels and you the need to answer it. Placing orders online and passing them directly into your system for fulfillment again, can cut many hours of manual intervention.

Similarly, providing customers with account information such as their back orders, delivery times and account status can save you hours of admin work and improves customer relationships. That's not to say that an integrated e-commerce solution distances you from your customers, far from it. In our experience many clients have used the hours saved through efficiencies and improvement in their processes to spend more time talking and selling to their customers as opposed to just dealing with enquiries or order processing making them more productive. Integration also minimises system admin as updates within your ERP solution, such as price or spec changes, will be automatically displayed within the website.
