Shopify to D365 NAV Integration
Challenge Faced by Ellison
Ellison Educational Equipment operates an e-commerce store on Shopify and faced considerable operational hurdles due to the absence of an integration between their Shopify store and their ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This disconnection was causing a lack of automated data synchronization between the two platforms, leading to manual entry requirements. Each order from Shopify had to be manually transferred to Dynamics NAV, a process fraught with potential for human error, resulting in inconsistencies in inventory levels and order fulfillment. This manual intervention was not only labor-intensive but also error-prone, compromising efficiency and scalability as Ellison sought to expand their educational product offerings and respond to increasing customer demands.
