The eCommerce Sales Cycle: Where Most Businesses Get Stuck 

90% of B2B buyers agree that a vendor’s ability to integrate with their existing tech significantly influences their decision to shortlist that vendor. 

The eCommerce sales cycle involves multiple steps from initial order to final fulfillment. When these stages live in separate systems, teams juggle spreadsheets and manual reentries. Disconnected workflows slow down order processing and cash collection. 

Key Steps in the eCommerce Sales Cycle 

Orders start in Shopify, capturing customer details and payments. Next, inventory levels must sync so teams know stock is available. Customer data then moves to SAP B1 for record creation. SAP generates a sales order and invoice. Warehouse teams fulfill and ship items. Finally, shipping and invoice status updates return to Shopify. 

  • Order Placement: Shopify captures the sale and payment. 
  • Inventory Check & Stock Sync: Systems verify product availability. 
  • Customer Data Recording: Customer information syncs to SAP B1. 
  • Order Creation in SAP B1: Shopify orders become SAP sales orders. 
  • Invoice Generation: SAP B1 auto-creates customer invoices. 
  • Fulfillment & Shipping: Warehouse picks, packs, and ships products. 
  • Status Update Back to Shopify: Shipment and invoice details sync in real time. 

Problems in Disconnected Systems 

Problems in Disconnected Systems 

When Shopify and SAP B1 don’t talk, data gaps emerge. Teams manually enter orders, causing typos and mismatches. Invoices delay until records sync. Inventory reports lag, leading to oversells. Fulfillment waits on reconciliation, delaying shipping. Frustrated teams scramble to fix errors. 

Organizations use an average of 1,061 applications, but only 29% of these are integrated. 

  • Manual Data Entry → Errors: Typos in orders and invoices. 
  • Delayed Invoice Processing: Billing waits on manual sync steps. 
  • Poor Visibility into Stock: Outdated inventory causes oversells or stock-outs. 
  • Time-Consuming Fulfillment Coordination: Fulfillment teams wait on reconciled data. 
  • Frustrated Teams + Unsatisfied Customers: Delays and errors harm customer experience. 

Key Takeaway: Disconnected Shopify and SAP B1 workflows force manual re-entry and reconciliation, causing inventory mismatches and delayed cash collection.
