Managing B2B and B2C Sales from a Single Platform

Microsoft continues investing in Shopify connectivity and multi-channel commerce capabilities.

ERP365 Perspective

For ERP365 customers, multi-channel commerce is becoming less about adding another sales channel and more about protecting operational control as channels expand.

The industry impact is most visible where businesses sell through a mix of account managers, ecommerce stores, marketplaces, EDI, phone orders and customer service teams. Connecting those channels to Business Central helps create outcomes such as more accurate stock availability, fewer duplicate customer and item records, faster fulfilment decisions, improved pricing and discount control, and clearer visibility of true channel profitability.

Achievable Outcomes

• Protect stock accuracy across ecommerce, account-managed, EDI and customer service sales channels.

• Reduce duplicate customer, item and order data by connecting channels to a single operational platform.

• Improve fulfilment decision-making and visibility of true channel profitability.

Customer Benefits

• Better stock synchronisation

• Improved order management

• Consistent customer information

Why This Matters

Customers expect:

• Online ordering

• Accurate stocks

 • Faster fulfilment

• Real-time updates

Business Central is increasingly becoming the operational hub that supports these expectations.
