Powering over 2,000,000 eCommerce web stores globally, Shopify is the leader in the e-commerce space. With an enormous library of themes, plugins, templates, and apps for the front and back ends, the Shopify and Shopify Plus eCommerce platforms allow any business to sell their goods and services online with ease.
The Coronavirus pandemic has served as a spark for the tightly coiled eCommerce marketplace, and a myriad of companies in a wide range of industries have migrated to either a hybrid model of eCommerce coupled with either traditional distribution or brick-and-mortar stores or simply moving entirely to an eCommerce-only model. In fact, online eCommerce sales have grown over 30% year-over-year in the first half of 2021 alone.
Although the eCommerce marketplace is enjoying explosive growth, this rapid marketplace expansion carries with it its own set of challenges. As online eCommerce companies scale, they are increasingly searching for software solutions that can assist them in the arduous tasks of managing the intricate complexities of their sales, warehouse management systems, general ledger and financials, operations and more.
This is where many of our Shopify and especially Shopify Plus Clients here at SCG have found maximum value in employing the world’s #1 cloud-ERP to power the backend of their Shopify or Shopify Plus web stores:
Oracle | NetSuite affords businesses in all industries a single, integrated solution that provides accounting, ERP, CRM, inventory, and more. With Shopify or Shopify Plus eCommerce and NetSuite ERP working in tandem, the resulting maximization of ROI is exactly why so many successful companies have chosen to integrate the two platforms. If you’re wondering how a business like yours might benefit from a similar NetSuite to Shopify integration, then you should read on:
- Customer Relationship Management
With a Shopify NetSuite integration you can automatically synch CRM, or Customer Relation Ship Management records in NetSuite to your Shopify and Shopify Plus customer records. Here at the Seibert Consulting Group, many of our Shopify Plus clients have found great success in integrating NetSuite CRM with Shopify Plus and in that manner more effectively served their online web store customers with highly targeted omnichannel marketing and loyalty campaigns as well as access to comprehensive account self-service options in their Shopify and Shopify Plus ‘My Account’ sections.
- Payout Reports & Cash Flow Management
With a Shopify to NetSuite integration from the SCG Team, an online eCommerce merchant can automatically synch and access Shopify or Shopify Plus payout reporting. The ability to identify these payouts can quickly improve cash flow management and can help pinpoint any discrepancies.
- Real-Time POS
Many businesses utilize different sales channels, and not just their eCommerce channel. More businesses than ever these days are adopting more of a hybrid model approach to both their eCommerce web store and their point-of-sale, physical sales presence. By deploying such an omnichannel approach, successful integration of all involved systems is guaranteed not only for accurate accounting but also sales forecasting as well. In addition, the linking of Shopify or Shopify Plus to NetSuite allows for real-time syncing between a business’s POS orders and the NetSuite system of record, improving both inventory management and the ability to monitor all the business’s sales from the one system of record, NetSuite.
- Effortless Product Listings
NetSuite, the world’s #1 cloud-based ERP, is an extremely flexible and powerful business intelligence tool. Integrating CRM, inventory management, accounting software, forecasting, and more, Oracle | NetSuite gives businesses the analytics tools they need to make informed decisions regarding their items and the pricing of those items. Direct editing of product pricing and item details from within NetSuite is possible, as are automatic syncs with Shopify or Shopify Plus. Businesses can manage their product listings, edit their item pricing, and control visibility all through their NetSuite instance.
- Payments and Bank Reconciliation
Successful Shopify or Shopify Plus web stores can post many thousands of transactions per day. When you factor in failed payments, returns, and cancellations, there is a great deal of payment information that should be tracked and recorded. The SCG Team can help create a seamless integration between Shopify and NetSuite that allows businesses like yours to perform bulk payment reconciliation and credit card batching. These types of automated processes, once implemented, can drastically reduce the manual labor required by your businesses’ accounting team while reducing any potential for errors.
- Shopify / Shopify Plus & NetSuite Order Syncing
If you’re using Shopify or Shopify Plus as your eCommerce platform, your eCommerce revenues are significant to your business. Order fulfillment time and order accuracy are critical factors for online shoppers. Utilizing a Shopify NetSuite integration from the Seibert Consulting Group, your business can seamlessly integrate Shopify orders between the NetSuite and Shopify / Shopify Plus platforms, allowing you to perform quick and precise order fulfillment, gain visibility into your order details, view any of your team’s order edits, and much more. New and existing Shopify or Shopify Plus web store customers will be instantly synced into your company’s NetSuite instance allowing your business to provide real-time customer service, targeted digital marketing campaigns and marketing segmentation, and improve your customer’s overall experience.
- Comprehensive Inventory Management
One of the most common use cases encountered by the SCG Team in working with Shopify or Shopify Plus merchants is the situation in which one of their Shopify web store customers places an order only to learn that the item they have purchased is currently “out-of-stock”. Using their NetSuite systems, merchants that the SCG Team has installed integrated NetSuite <> Shopify / Shopify Plus implementations can automatically sync their inventory levels and their existing Shopify or Shopify Plus orders to ensure that they are never selling an item or product that is not in inventory. In addition, NetSuite’s inventory management tools afford Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants the ability to utilize historical data to forecast future demand, allowing their businesses to accommodate annual and seasonal sales fluctuations.
