Real-time data integration gets the payment & shipping information, orders, and customer details all integrated into your ERP system. In a similar way, it helps to upload & download items and inventory from ERP to the eCommerce platform. Thus, in any way, the integration helps eliminate the requirement of re-entering the data. In turn, this helps reduce data redundancy, human involvement, and errors, also it enables consumers to view the latest order status, available inventory, as well as track shipments with tracking codes. Automated data inputs help save on errors, re-works, and order backfires. All these benefits help to reduce operational & inventory costs.
