Building a Dynamic Online Store with Full ERP Integration
Overview
Our client wanted a more dynamic and customized online store to sell their products effectively. Instead of using an off-the-shelf eCommerce platform, they opted for a bespoke software solution, tailored to their exact business needs.
The key requirement? Seamless integration with Epicor’s Prophet 21 (P21) to ensure real-time order processing, stock management, and pricing updates—all without manual intervention.
By designing a fully connected system, we helped our client create a powerful online storefront that keeps customers informed with accurate pricing and stock availability, while also reducing admin work for their team.
Technical Overview (Explained Simply!)
Think of this setup like a high-tech vending machine—it automatically updates its stock levels and prices in real time, ensuring that customers always see the latest information. Here’s how we made it happen:
🔗 Step 1: Connecting the Online Store & Prophet 21 – We built a custom integration between the website and P21 so that all orders flow directly into the ERP system as soon as a customer checks out.
📦 Step 2: Real-Time Stock Checks – Before an order is placed, the system checks live inventory levels in P21, preventing customers from ordering items that are out of stock.
💰 Step 3: Automatic Price Updates – Whenever prices are updated in P21, those changes instantly sync to the online store, ensuring customers always see accurate pricing.
☁️ Step 4: Reliable Cloud Hosting – The entire system is hosted in Microsoft Azure, providing scalability, security, and fast performance for a seamless shopping experience.
The Result?
With a custom-built online store fully integrated with Prophet 21, our client now enjoys:
✅ Real-time stock visibility – No more overselling or manual stock adjustments.
✅ Automated order processing – Orders flow straight into P21, reducing admin work.
✅ Always up-to-date pricing – No delays in price updates between systems.
✅ A scalable, future-proof solution – Hosted on Azure for reliability and performance.
