The high cost of disconnected data: How eCommerce and ERP integration can eliminate your data entry challenges
Thursday, June 14, 2018Lauren Macdonald
After spending some time chatting with retailers at
IRCE 2018 in Chicago last week, one big takeaway was that disparate data across selling channels and back-office applications can be very costly for businesses.
Tons of merchants selling online and/or in-store stopped by our booth, all asking some variation of this common question: “
How do I get my order, inventory, shipping/tracking, product, and customer data to flow automatically between my accounting/ERP system and my sales channels?”
These conversations all solidified what we already knew: There is value (both in time and money) to be gained from automating data flow across disparate business systems and applications so that they communicate effectively as one cohesive unit.
Here's an article that explains how integration pays for itself.
What we didn’t know, is that there are so many merchants out there today who still have disconnected data, and aren’t even aware that a solution like ours exists to solve their data entry problems.
