Merlin Connect can also be used for the e-commerce sector. The software acquires e-commerce data and transmits them to the management system so they can be recorded.

Merlin Connect synchronises the data between the two platforms using automated procedures, with timings chosen to meet company needs (hourly, every 6 hours, once a day, etc.).

.FUNCTIONS

The software creates a connection between the e-commerce platform and the management system, allowing them to communicate and exchange data, so you can manage online sales within a single system.

Exporting orders

When the online store receives a new order, Merlin Connect acquires a file containing all the relevant information (billing data, items sold, payment method, etc.) and transmits it to the management system. In this way, all new orders are recorded in the company management system and made available for subsequent operations (preparation of shipping documents, invoices, etc.).

Importing products

To enter new products into the e-commerce system, simply add and configure them in the management system: the import procedure takes place automatically. Similarly, information on items already entered can be amended quickly and easily: once the necessary changes have been made in the management system, they are immediately recorded in the e-commerce platform.

Stock synchronisation

The connection between the e-commerce platform and the management system allows product inventories to be kept constantly up-to-date, even when the online platform is operating side-by-side with a physical point of sale. Everything that is purchased, both online and offline, is automatically recorded so actual product availability is always under control.

Managing customer details

Whenever orders are imported into the management system, the customer records are automatically updated: if they are new users, new customer records are created containing all the data provided; when customers are already registered in the system, the order history is updated with the latest purchases made.

. HOW IT WORKS

Integrating the software with your online store allows you to automatically synchronize products, orders and customers between any e-commerce platform and ERP system and vice versa. You can easily understand the importance of Merlin Connect from the diagram below.

.BENEFITS

No more manual entry

The automatic transmission of data from one platform to another makes it possible to simplify and speed up all key procedures relating to the management of your online store (creation of customer details, order entry, updating availability and much more).

Stock records always up-to-date

Merlin Connect keeps stock up-to-date in real time. Improved warehouse organisation means you will never run out of stock or have too much stock on hand and simplifies all inventory operations.

Coordination of sales channels

Merlin Connect is ideal for companies with sales in both physical and online stores, as it allows the two channels to be synchronised within the management system and transactions to be recorded in both.

Keeping errors to a minimum

Synchronisation takes place automatically and reduces the errors that usually occur when manually transcribing and entering orders and products: this means no more errors in product sheets or order-related tax documents.
