E-commerce automation for online shops, ERP systems and marketplaces

Online shops that are self-sustaining.

We integrate the shop, ERP, PIM and marketplaces into a single system and automate the tasks that would otherwise tie up staff time on a daily basis, from product management and customer support to price control.

Opportunities for automation

As the shop grows, the amount of manual work often increases too

Many online shops start out with simple processes. However, as the number of products, orders, channels and systems increases, the amount of manual work quickly becomes significant.

  • Product data needs to be maintained.
  • Stock levels are reconciled multiple times.
  • Prices change across different systems.
  • Marketplaces require their own data formats.
  • Support enquiries are repeated on a daily basis.
  • And important reports are often still produced in Excel.

 

Where automation comes into play

What we automate in e-commerce

Each section saves time on its own; together, they transform your shop into a system that thinks for itself.

Data integration between the online shop, ERP, PIM and marketplaces

We integrate systems so that product data, stock levels, prices, orders and customer data flow reliably between the relevant platforms.

Automating product data and content

Product data is often one of the biggest time-wasters in e-commerce. We help to automatically structure and clean up data, and make it ready for use across various channels.

Product data Data quality Categorisation Content AI

Automate ordering, stock management and pricing processes

Many operational tasks arise after the purchase: orders must be transferred, stock levels updated, prices adjusted and changes in status communicated.

Automating support and customer communications

Many support enquiries are repetitive: delivery status, availability, returns, invoices or product enquiries. Automation takes the pressure off the team without replacing personal contact.

A day in the life of a shop

Typical tasks that can be automated

E-commerce automation is particularly valuable for tasks that recur regularly, have clear rules or involve large amounts of data.

  • Consolidating product data from various sources
  • Prepare product information for the shop and marketplaces
  • Keep prices and availability up to date
  • Automatically prepare new products
  • Add SEO data and descriptions

Made possible by our own integration solution

For complex data flows, we rely on our own integration solution.

It connects shops, ERP systems, PIM, marketplaces, databases, feeds and APIs to ensure controlled synchronisation.

This does not simply involve moving data from A to B. Changes are processed in a traceable manner, systems remain synchronised, and errors are identified before they cause long-term problems.

Here’s how we do it

From the idea to the right result.

1

Understanding processes and systems

We analyse which systems are in use, what data is generated and where, and which tasks are currently carried out manually.

2

Prioritising opportunities for automation

Not every process needs to be automated straight away. We identify the tasks where the benefits are greatest: those that are time-consuming, involve a lot of repetition, are prone to errors, or have a direct impact on turnover and customer satisfaction.

3

Defining data flows and rules

For automation to work reliably, clear rules are needed. We define which system provides which data, which system takes precedence, and how conflicts are handled.

4

Implementation, monitoring and further development

The automation is implemented, tested and monitored. Once it is up and running, data flows remain traceable so that errors can be identified quickly and processes can be further improved.

Greater impact in day-to-day operations

The benefits of e-commerce automation in everyday life

Less manual maintenance

Product data, prices, stock levels and orders no longer need to be updated multiple times. This frees up the team’s time for tasks that really require their attention.

More up-to-date data across all channels

When stock levels, prices and product information are automatically synchronised, the risk of overselling, incorrect details and out-of-date data is reduced.

Faster processes

Orders, exports, imports, support enquiries and status updates no longer go through convoluted processes, but follow clearly defined procedures.

Better scalability

New products, new channels or additional marketplaces do not automatically result in more manual work. The technical infrastructure scales up accordingly.

When it’s worth it

Who can benefit from e-commerce automation?

E-commerce automation is particularly beneficial for businesses that already use several systems or sales channels and spend a lot of time on manual maintenance in their day-to-day operations.

Typical scenarios:

  • You run a shop using an ERP or inventory management system
  • You sell via multiple marketplaces
  • You work with large volumes of product data or supplier feeds
  • Your team has to enter data multiple times across different systems
  • Stock levels, prices or product information are not up to date everywhere
  • Support enquiries take up too much time
  • Standard plugins are no longer sufficient for your processes

Frequently Asked Questions about E-commerce Automation

Good to know.

In principle, any system that provides data via APIs, feeds, databases, file imports or exports can be integrated. This includes e-commerce platforms, ERP systems, PIM systems, marketplaces, supplier portals and bespoke applications.

Yes. In many projects, the aim is precisely to continue using existing systems and to link them together more effectively, rather than building everything from scratch.

Yes. Bidirectional synchronisation is possible, for example between the shop and the ERP system. It is important to define clear rules regarding data ownership and conflicts.

No. It often makes sense to start with a particularly complex or error-prone process and then gradually extend the automation.

No. Good automation primarily replaces repetitive, labour-intensive tasks. This allows the team to focus more on consultancy, sales, strategy, customer relations and further development.
