Among all the eCommerce platforms in the world, Shopify is certainly amongst the most popular - with plenty of reasons too. The main one is that Shopify's versatility allows all kinds of businesses to build a compelling online shopping experience. It doesn't really matter whether you're just starting out or an established trader with decades of experience behind you. Companies of all sizes and across all sectors are relying more and more on Shopify to provide them with a user-friendly and scalable sales platform.
As great as Shopify is, it can't do it all. As businesses grow, it becomes more difficult to manage data effectively. That's why you need an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to work alongside it. In a few words, an ERP is a type of business software that acts as the central hub of your company. It ensures the smooth running of key processes such as inventory software, purchase capacity or sales order management.
As your business grows bigger, so will the need to integrate your Shopify platform into all your other systems. If you want to achieve sustainable growth, it is crucial that you ensure that you're implementing automated processes and making decisions based on real data.
