ERP system
What is an ERP system?
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is business software that centralizes and automates core processes such as finance, inventory, order, and customer management in a single platform.
ERP systems in eCommerce
ERP systems are essential in eCommerce to connect logistics, sales channels, and financial systems in real time. By integrating an ERP with a logistics platform like everstox, brands can synchronize orders, stock levels, and tracking data across all channels automatically. This ensures transparency, reduces manual tasks, and enables smarter supply chain decisions.
Example of an ERP system
An online shop uses an ERP like Xentral or SAP to manage its product inventory. When a customer places an order, the system automatically triggers a stock update, pushes the order to the fulfillment center, and updates the status once shipped – all without manual intervention.
