CUSTOMER STORY

Josie Maran
Cosmetics

Josie Maran Cosmetics efficiently managed thousands of orders per week and automated business processes with APPSeCONNECT’s seamless integration capabilities.

The Setup to the Make-up

Since its foundation Josie Maran Cosmetics has been a growing community of visionaries which brings innovative changes to their line of quality products. With the huge inventory of items Josie Maran used Shopify Plus as the front-end for their eCommerce store and SAP Business One as their back-end ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. With their strive to make the most out of their SAP Business One and Shopify Plus implementation, they needed a complete automation solution for their business processes to maintain error-free and seamless data transfer between the two applications.

Overcoming All Challenges Through Vigilance

With the immense popularity of the brand, Josie Maran Cosmetics was receiving a steady stream of increasing orders from their Shopify Plus eCommerce platform. With the slow manual data transfer process between Shopify Plus and SAP Business One, their data backlog was slowly spiraling out of control. They needed a smart automation solution that could synchronize all the products along with their information from SAP Business One to Shopify Plus and have inventory information be updated on Shopify Plus and SAP Business One in real-time.

Management of order details was required to be automated where all orders placed on Shopify Plus are to be synchronized in SAP Business One as Sales orders and corresponding Shipping information to be synchronized back to Shopify Plus. With the high quality of Josie Maran Cosmetics, they would often be popular gifting options for customers. Thus, they also needed the BPA (Business Process Automation) application to enable automation for managing data on new and existing customers to purchase Gift Cards. With such a wide and complex set of requirements, APPSeCONNECT’s robust integration platform was the ideal solution for them.

Sound and well-architected integration platform to connect Shopify with SAP B1. Great implementation team – responsive, smart, customer focused – and a pleasure to work with. Our environment required some customizations which the team and platform were able to handle. Would like to see more robustness in the connector scheduling and reporting capabilities, but my requests are already on the roadmap for an upcoming release. Better, more streamlined ecommerce operations. Reduction in manual tasks/more automation/better use of operations resources.
