In the next year eCommerce is expected to grow to $250 billion according to a Forrester Research Study and will continue to grow by leaps and bounds- Are you ready for that?
Sure you may have a perfectly optimized site with traffic flooding in and a great sales numbers—but how is your ERP system looking? Is the data up to date? Is it packed full of data entry errors? Are inventory levels correct in both your ERP and on your storefront site? What kind of reports are you able to generate? Are they in real-time? Are your customers happy with their online experience? There is so much to be done when you have two separate, yet equally important tools for your business. A few of these key points were addressed in a recent blog article- 5 Reasons to integrate your ERP System & E-Commerce Storefront. Before you get tangled up in a predicament with your ERP and eCommerce systems- integrate them!
Here are five more reasons to get serious about this integration:
- You can maximize order fulfillment potential by automating tasks between the two systems.
- You can serve customers around the clock all week long by giving them the freedom to shop online and by providing the most up to date inventory levels and pricing.
- Save money on the costs associated with manually changing data between the two systems- integration means this is done automatically and accurately so you do not have to hire a staff to manage this for you.
- Simplify your process by managing your information IN ONE PLACE.
- Reduce annoying and risky data entry processes which will also lead to increased productivity; Now that you are not spending your entire day updating your ecommerce storefront and ERP system you might actually get some other work done!
Without this integration you could have loss in sales, delays in delivery, unhappy customers, incorrect inventory levels, and so much more—all leading to a reduction in your cash flow; are you ready to integrate now?
