Good integration: The JTL ERP-Connector app for Shopify

We want to break down the boundaries of your trade. For us, this also means giving you maximum freedom in your choice of provider. Interface solutions such as JTL-Connector have long enabled you to integrate JTL-Wawi with third-party systems and make full use of our ERP. We have great news for JTL users who are also Shopify fans: The JTL ERP-Connector app makes connecting JTL-Wawi to your store system even easier and faster. Read this article to find out more about the benefits of the app and how we can provide you with an even better user experience by participating in Shopify’s ERP program.

Integrate JTL-Wawi directly via your shop back end

“Think globally, act locally” is the motto under which we are part of Shopify’s European ERP partner program with our new JTL ERP-Connector app as Germany’s leading software manufacturer. The certified Application enables the Shopify users among you to integrate JTL-Wawi directly from your back end to your shop without system breaks. In addition, the app offers the full functionality of our JTL-Connector for Shopify. So you can look forward to simplified onboarding and even faster migration!

JTL ERP-Connector App for Shopify - Your advantages at a glance

As the extension meets the development standards of the store system provider, you can be sure that you will benefit from the best possible performance and user-friendliness. As a retailer, you gain numerous advantages from the partnership:

• Easy onboarding and quick migration: Installing the new Application is child’s play as you install the interface directly in your store system.
• Seamless workflows: As soon as you have integrated your Shopify system with JTL-Wawi, our ERP becomes your “control center”. For example, if you plan to run several online stores, you can use JTL-Wawi to control your inventory, sales and shipping centrally from one instance.
• Data sovereignty and security: The extension means that data is only exchanged between the store system admin and JTL-Wawi. This means you don’t have to go through external providers and can manage your data yourself – a plus point that also creates trust with customers.
• Maximum efficiency: The connection between the store system and ERP opens a whole range of doors for more efficiency – take a look at the many automation options you gain with the JTL-Workflows module, for example.
• Make fact-based decisions: With JTL-Wawi as the primary data source for your retail business, important key figures such as inventory, sales figures or conversions on different sales platforms can be quickly viewed and analyzed. These statistics provide the best basis for strategic business decisions.

You can read exactly how to proceed if you want to use the new interface in the JTL-Guide.

What if I already use JTL-Connector with Shopify?

Both technically and functionally, the JTL ERP-Connector App does not differ from our so-called “Custom App”, which Shopify users have previously used to connect JTL-Wawi to their system. However, if you want to integrate your Shopify-Shop into JTL-Wawi for the first time, using the JTL ERP-Connector App is a faster and easier process. Existing customers do not need to worry about possible changes.

Those who network systems grow

Why do we at JTL rely on the Europe-wide ERP program with Shopify? Quite simply, we are combining the advantages of two worlds: the versatility of a globally developed store system and ERP software that is precisely tailored to the specific needs of a regional market. Merchandise management systems must be tailored to the local characteristics of a market, because from tax guidelines and individual logistics processes to usability conventions, every country “ticks” differently. Successful retailers are able to recognize and meet these very different requirements and needs. As a software company that consistently pursues a community-driven development approach, we know exactly what retailers need to get off to a flying start throughout Germany.

Omnichannel retail has become increasingly diverse in recent years, but also more complex and fast-moving. Trends such as click & collect, social commerce and the increase in sales-relevant online marketplaces are making it increasingly difficult to maintain an overview. In order not to lose sight of the “big picture”, retailers today more than ever need interface-capable and reliable solutions with which they can control and connect all areas of their business. Our ERP system JTL-Wawi has been helping retailers for years to network business areas such as purchasing and sales or warehousing and logistics in a smart and holistic way. Whether with JTL’s own products or third-party systems – we have always developed our ERP as the “control center” of your retail business. With our participation in the ERP program, we are consistently pursuing this strategy.

Every eCommerce is different

Even though we cover the entire spectrum of eCommerce software with our own solutions such as the JTL-Connector and our shop system JTL-Shop, it is important to us to offer customers the best possible range of usage options. We know from experience how individual every business is. That’s why we want to offer you exactly the solution variants that suit you best.

We look forward to seeing what you come up with with the new extension and wish you continued success!
