ERP Integration for Shopify and WooCommerce Sellers

Ecommerce ERP integration connects your Shopify or WooCommerce store with the business processes that happen after a customer places an order. Aquilon ERP helps distributors and product-based businesses manage online orders, product information, inventory, purchasing, fulfillment, and accounting within one connected operational system.

As ecommerce businesses grow, managing an online store separately from inventory and accounting can become more difficult. Therefore, connecting your ecommerce platform with ERP software can help your team manage information and workflows more efficiently.

Connect Shopify and WooCommerce With Aquilon ERP

Aquilon supports integration with Shopify and WooCommerce. As a result, businesses can connect online sales with the inventory, purchasing, order management, and financial functions within Aquilon ERP.

The integration supports real-time synchronization of online orders. In addition, product information and inventory updates can move between Shopify or WooCommerce and the ERP system.

Once an online order enters Aquilon, staff can manage the purchasing, inventory, fulfillment, and customer-service activities that follow the sale.

Keep Product and Inventory Information Connected

Accurate inventory information becomes increasingly important as online sales grow. For example, customers need reliable product information, while employees need current inventory details to manage orders and purchasing.

An ecommerce ERP integration helps connect these activities. Instead of managing the online store as an isolated system, businesses can relate ecommerce activity to the broader inventory and order-management process.

In addition, Aquilon’s sales analysis and financial modules provide reporting alongside these transactions. Consequently, managers can review online sales within the broader context of business performance.

Manage Shopify and WooCommerce Orders

When an online customer places an order, the sale often triggers several additional business processes. Inventory may need to be allocated, products may need to be purchased, and employees may need to prepare the order for fulfillment.

Aquilon connects these activities with its inventory, sales order, and purchasing modules. Therefore, teams can manage more of the workflow behind the ecommerce storefront within one ERP environment.

However, every ecommerce business operates differently. Synchronization timing, payment processing, product information, and other integration details should be reviewed against your store configuration and business processes.

Support Multiple Sales Channels

Ecommerce ERP integration becomes especially valuable when a business sells through more than one channel.

For example, a distributor may accept Shopify or WooCommerce orders while also selling directly to business customers. Similarly, a manufacturer may sell stocked products online while producing other products to order.

In these situations, Aquilon’s inventory, sales order, purchasing, and financial capabilities can support the broader business behind the ecommerce storefront.

As a result, online sales can become part of a more connected operational workflow rather than remaining separate from other sales channels.

Connect Ecommerce With Configured Products

Some businesses sell products that require customer-selected options or specifications.

For example, door and millwork companies may need to capture materials, hardware, dimensions, handing, swing, or other product choices. Aquilon’s configure-to-order capabilities can help manage these requirements when appropriate.

However, configured products can create more complex ecommerce workflows. Therefore, businesses should review the exact storefront and order-entry process with Aquilon to determine how online inquiries or orders will connect with configured products.

Shopify and WooCommerce ERP for Growing Businesses

Aquilon ERP is designed for distributors, manufacturers, and product-based businesses that need more than a standalone ecommerce store and separate accounting software.

By connecting ecommerce with ERP, businesses can bring together:

• Online orders
• Product information
• Inventory
• Purchasing
• Sales orders
• Fulfillment
• Manufacturing
• Sales analysis
• Accounting and financial information

As a result, employees can work with connected business information instead of relying on multiple disconnected systems.
