Integrating WooCommerce and SAP Business One Just Got a Lot Easier, Thanks to Alluvia

When it comes to setting up an ecommerce platform, there are a lot of options in today’s market. If we look at the numbers, the most popular ecommerce platform on the web right now is WooCommerce, with the latest number reporting over 37 million downloads. As you probably know, WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce plugin for WordPress designed for online businesses using the WordPress tool. It powers over 28% of all online stores.

It’s no wonder WooCommerce is so popular. It is customizable, allowing retailers to add only those plugins they want for their business. But if you want to optimize your WooCommerce platform, you need to connect WooCommerce to SAP Business One or another ERP system you are using.

While SAP Business One and WooCommerce integration is often challenging, the Alluvia platform delivers integrations that are fast, simple, and affordable, helping businesses quickly overcome what has typically been a struggle. To illustrate the differences between the old and new ways of integrating SAP Business One and WooCommerce, let’s take a closer look at the different approaches and why integration is important.

SAP Business One and WooCommerce integration

SAP Business One and WooCommerce integration is typically done via custom consulting. This translates into a long development timeline and a high price tag. Beyond setup, any future changes to either your system or to WooCommerce requires additional consulting work. And yes, this means even more time and money.

Even though SAP Business One and WooCommerce integration has traditionally been far too time-consuming and expensive, companies have paid the price because it is so essential. Integration makes it possible to:

  1. Eliminates manual data entry – Integration removes the need for manually entering data into the systems, which saves time and eliminates redundancies and errors
  2. Automates the fulfillment process – Automating fulfillment improves workflow efficiencies.
  3. Updates inventory in real-time – This is the only way to ensure you only sell what is available, even as orders are coming in from multiple channels
  4. Improves the customer experience – Fulfilling orders in a more timely manner and not over-selling creates happier customers. Satisfied customers are loyal and more likely to recommend your business.
  5. Increases efficiencies – The time saved on data entry and order fulfillment go directly into your pocket as fewer resources are required for maintaining your WooCommerce platform.
