A great website is the key to customer satisfaction. Whether the site is a portal for existing customers to utilize and do business with your business (B2B) and/or a retail store to generate and grow the number of consumers who visit (B2C), without an organized, easy-to-navigate experience, it just won’t meet the mark.
For manufacturers and wholesale distributors, the ecommerce website may be the primary interface through which most of your customer interactions take place. With WordPress and WooCommerce, businesses have a high amount of access to be able to intuitively maintain the platform after the website design and ecommerce plugins are finished and launched. The agency will ensure your company’s website reflects brand identity as well as having the catalog and checkout perfected. But to accurately reflect inventory quantities, pricing updates, and other real-time data on an on-going basis, integration with the ERP is essential.
Level Up Your Solution Through WooCommerce
There are over 2.3 million ecommerce stores hosted on the WooCommerce platform, and for good reason. WooCommerce is free, easy to install, and has nearly endless customization options. Here are some of the benefits you can take advantage of through WooCommerce:
- WooCommerce connects directly to WordPress and can be controlled directly from the WordPress dashboard. No matter what kind of product you’re selling, every order shows on the same screen.
- WooCommerce supports easy payment collection and offers extensions you can use to automatically charge recurring payments.
- WooCommerce includes many different filtering and search options so you can organize your online store in an intuitive and clear way.
- WooCommerce is a free and open-source plugin with thousands of both free and paid extensions for custom functions.
- WooCommerce has minimal website hosting requirements, allowing for lower-cost hosting options.
But the most important benefit to WooCommerce for companies that need B2B ecommerce is its integration capabilities. WooCommerce can integrate with dozens of other platforms, including email marketing, payment processing, and accounting solutions. For businesses that use Sage 100, IN-SYNCH and WooCommerce can be bi-directionally connected for the standard integration data points like orders, tracking, and inventory, plus customer-specific pricing integration, credit card tokenization integration, full order history, and more.
The easiest way to combine smooth integration and custom design is through WooCommerce and IN-SYNCH. Investing in an ecommerce solution is an important step to achieving smooth data flow and accurate information available 24×7 to your customer base. IN-SYNCH can tightly integrate Sage 100 ERP to your business specifications.
