Leveraging Existing Tools

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business process management software that is a staple in most large organizations, and is considered the source of truth for product information, inventory, and brand standards. At Tribe Alpha, we find that leveraging the powerful tools you already have established is more effective than replacing them. Our ERP integrations with Magento allow your eCommerce platform to read inventory and product information from your already robust ERP, presenting that information the front-end user when desired.

One of the major benefits of this feature is providing your customers with an estimated back in stock date, allowing them to complete their purchase with the product becomes available again. Providing the number of products remaining in stock can also create a sense of urgency, notifying customers that an item they are interested in is close to selling out. Too often an eCommerce platform doesn’t speak directly to the established inventory, which creates an issue of managing inventory in multiple locations, incorrect stock numbers being used online, and an unnecessary amount of administrative work to constantly modify product numbers.

Tribe Alpha’s eCommerce ERP integrations with Magento allows our clients to utilize the tools they already have established effectively and accurately in their eCommerce website.
