In today's digital age, an e-commerce site can become either a company's main sales channel, or a significant complement to it, whether in a BtoC or BtoB model. To operate effectively, this platform needs to be integrated with the company's various departments, such as accounting, logistics and marketing, requiring close interaction between ERP and the e-commerce site.
In many cases, the ERP centralizes all the business and management rules you need for your e-commerce, btoc or btob site. A connector between your ERP and your e-commerce site is therefore essential, and plays a key role in your sales strategy.
Connecting ERP and e-commerce sites enables seamless management of orders, inventory and deliveries, guaranteeing a seamless customer experience and enhanced operational efficiency.
