The main advantages of ERP systems for e-commerce:

Integration with your online store

One of the great advantages of an ERP system is that it is fully integrated with the online store, which makes for better and more efficient management. This means that it is not necessary to have several spreadsheets to manage e-commerce sales, for example. It facilitates the strategic planning of the company and the management of the online store.

Inventory control

With an ERP system, stock control in the webshop is more efficient. It is possible to create a sales report to determine which products are most in demand, what the stock level is, and additionally analyze sales from all channels used by the company (online store, physical stores and marketplaces).

Invoicing

When online store sales increase, it takes longer to issue invoices and monitor sales. The ERP enables invoices to be issued quickly and easily, whether physically or electronically. You can monitor customer payments, view unpaid invoices and create payment reminders. This process is therefore considerably simplified and automated.

Customer loyalty

If the customer receives an incorrect order or the delivery is delayed, they will not buy from the company again. This has a complete impact on customer loyalty. With an ERP system, it is possible to collect various customer data that influences the company's relationship with them. You have accurate information about the best-selling products and consumer behavior and can use this information to develop more effective marketing strategies.
