Many users rely on Shopify for an easier way to launch their online stores, without having to deal with the hassle of servers or development costs that go with self-hosted platforms such as Magento. However, businesses that use Shopify for ecommerce and NetSuite for other core operational activities might find themselves faced with information silos. To make the most of their NetSuite investment and eliminate disparate sources of data, integration is key.
Integrating Shopify and NetSuite can help automate processes such as order fulfillment, inventory count updates, pricing updates, financial reporting and much more. Automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, thereby reducing order processing time and eliminating human error which can result in costly overheads. While integration saves users time and money, where it truly shines is in improving customer experience. With smoother backend processes, businesses can rest assured that they will always display inventory accurate levels online to avoid overselling, meet guaranteed delivery dates, ship the correct item, and so on.
