IN-SYNCH integration between Shopify and Sage 100 is one of our most popular integration projects. Many of our Shopify clients with retail stores also use IN-SYNCH to integrate Shopify POS with their ERP, thus achieving new levels of data and inventory visibility. Here are three examples of our clients who have found success through integrating Shopify POS and Sage 100.
Arlen Ness
Arlen Ness Motorcycles, which began as a small custom motorcycle shop in a garage in 1967, has since grown into a world-renowned motorcycle, parts design, and service company. The founder, Arlen Ness, bought his first motorcycle with winnings as a semi-professional bowler. That motorcycle led him to a career in customization that helped launch the entire motorcycle customization industry. By the 70s, Arlen’s custom bikes were “rolling art.” He became known as the world’s foremost motorcycle customizer. The company is now an international brand that sells custom motorcycles all around the world. For over 50 years, they have created, tested, and delivered custom motorcycles.
They are now headquartered in a 70,000 square-foot building in Dublin, California, which includes a shop, a warehouse, offices, and a museum. The brand’s expertise has allowed them to work with larger manufacturers for parts, and customers can buy Arlen Ness parts directly or from third-party distributors. Arlen Ness has a rich history, but it isn’t stuck in the past. They know that to succeed in the digital retail age, they need a seamless shopping experience—on both the internal and external side. With IN-SYNCH Sage 100 integration to maintain visibility into parts, payments, and processes, Arlen Ness Enterprises is able to maximize their online and point of sale offering for everything from orders for individual parts to custom bikes.
Western Nut Company
For over 50 years, Western Nut Company, Inc., has acquired the highest quality raw nuts available and roasted them to perfection. They produce a wide variety of roasted nuts as well as nut brittles, fudge, fruit, seeds, and chocolate-covered nuts. They also create premade or custom gift baskets for any occasion.
A family-owned business, they pride themselves on the unmatched freshness and taste of their products. While they started with a retail store and mail orders, they’ve expanded into gift centers and grocery store features during the holiday season. Their Shopify website is a new addition to allow for easier nationwide commerce. They also now have an Amazon storefront. In order to unify these different ecommerce experiences as well as their Shopify POS system, Western Nut Company turned to ROI to implement IN-SYNCH. Thanks to IN-SYNCH, the company’s orders, returns, and inventory data flow smoothly from their ecommerce websites to their Sage 100 ERP to their POS hardware.
Flags Unlimited
Flags Unlimited, Inc., founded in Tampa in 1985, has been crafting flags for almost 40 years. In addition to U.S. flags, they also make flags for other countries, various U.S. sports teams, military branches, historical eras, and more. They also sell flagpoles, decals, and other accessories. Because flags are often continually exposed to the elements, they carefully select their flag fabrics to be colorfast to sun and rain as well as lightweight with high tensile strength. True to their patriotic business, all flags are 100% made in the U.S.
Flags Unlimited is committed to maximizing technology in order to focus on their core business. “Not only do we offer the latest technology in our art department and production facilities, but we have also successfully employed technology to drive success,” says Kevin Lynch, Director of Technology. “Our business has expanded sales through multiple online marketing channels including Amazon and Walmart, as well as launching our Shopify store, Sportsflags.com, without adding additional staff, by implementing a variety of software and integration tools.” IN-SYNCH’s Shopify and Shopify POS integration allows the company to expand sales through a retail store as well as their websites without adding additional staff or using up current employees’ valuable time on manual data entry or transfer.
