Shopify Plus Marketplace Connection

E-commerce is expected to have over 3 billion buyers, according to forecasts (statista.de). Online marketplaces such as Amazon, Alibaba, and others attract the majority of customers.

This seems logical given their advantages: these platforms offer an overwhelming array of products, making price comparisons between similar items easy, and the ordering and shipping processes run, at least from the customer's perspective, in consistent patterns.

For merchants operating their own online stores, the omnipresence of e-commerce giants is not necessarily a problem. Instead, it presents an opportunity to benefit from their popularity and explore new sales channels through their extensive reach.

Shopify Plus is a shopping system particularly well-suited for connecting to new points of sale (PoS). In this article, we aim to clarify what considerations are essential when selling on online marketplaces and why an ERP system like Microsoft Dynamics is recommended for integration.

Manage Your Amazon Marketplace Using Dynamics 365, and Watch Your Business Grow.

If you're an e-commerce retailer, chances are you’re selling on Amazon and rely on Seller Central to manage that part of your business. Although Seller Central contains all the essential information about your marketplace, it isn’t always convenient. And if you are a larger company employing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, Seller Central can feel like it is living in some far-off corner of your computer where switching between it and your ERP proves frustrating.

Change Management: Embracing Change for More Efficient Processes

Would you like to drive changes in your company? That can be challenging, as humans are creatures of habit. Many people tend to be critical of changes in their work environment, reacting with rejection or even fear. Yet, within every change lies an opportunity. When communicated early and transparently, involving all affected parties, your company can become even more efficient and shed the burdens of rigid and outdated processes.

To implement changes effectively within companies, Change Management has been established. In this article, we'll explain what it entails and why we consistently encourage our clients to undertake change processes.
