Is Your E-Commerce Information Spread Across a Variety of Platforms?
Today, most businesses operate using more than one system to control different areas of the workflow:
- ERP: inventory management, procurement, and finance handling
- CRM: customer relationship management and sales management
- E-commerce Platforms: orders, promotions, and channels control
- 3PL or logistics systems: to manage warehousing and transportation
At most, both tool types seem good at what they do. But in practice, they frequently function as standalone “data silos.” This creates challenges such as:
- Data which is not real-time synchronized
- Decision-making without a complete picture
- Inefficient collaboration across teams
- Double entry, manual matching, and expensive mistakes
So when you want a single, holistic picture of your business, you often find yourself lost in a data labyrinth.
The Reason Traditional Systems Do Not Work
- ERP is about internal processes, but is not well suited for communicating with external systems like marketplaces are.
- CRM is all about the customer and nothing on order fulfillment or inventory.
- The storage facilities of e-commerce platforms are isolated from each other and with different standards.
- Bespoke integrations are costly to develop and more costly to support.
This is to say that, even with “advanced” tooling, companies are wanting for a centralized command hub for all of it.
