CUSTOMER STORY

Nine Line Apparel

Nine Line Apparel has optimized and improved their overall business processes including efficient order fulfillment and higher customer satisfaction levels.

On The Road to Success

Nine Line Apparel was quickly gaining popularity across the market and even got endorsed by the WWE legend, Mark Calaway, aka the “Undertaker.” Nine Line Apparel, that started out as a small venture between a military veteran and his wife in 2012, soon outgrew its storefront. They took their business online to cater to their growing scale of businesses and implemented a suite of business applications to manage the different business workflows. BigCommerce was their choice of eCommerce platform to operate their online storefront, Shipstation for streamlining the order fulfilment process and finally SAP Business One to manage their back-end business operations. While all three applications operated successfully as isolated systems, Nine Line Apparel needed all the applications to operate in synchronization to achieve true end-to-end automation and reliably grow their business.

Facing Down the Challenges

Nine Line Apparel was facing major setbacks towards creating a streamlined business due to the lack of proper integration between the business applications. There were many technical challenges such as HEXCode required for shipment via ShipStation could not be generated, data access bottlenecks per API call for ShipStation, manual adjustment of coupon codes generated in BigCommerce for SAP Business One, slow inventory sync between BigCommerce and SAP Business One and many more. That is when APPSeCONNECT came in as a game changer for Nine Line Apparel.

The SAP Business One + BigCommerce and SAP Business One + ShipStation Connector by APPSeCONNECT

Manually managing massive bulks of data from three different applications brought on multiple hurdles towards fast and flexible workflows. APPSeCONNECT as a next-gen robust low-code Business Process Automation and integration platform provided a seamless integration for SAP Business One, BigCommerce and ShipStation. The smart and intelligent integration provided was the ideal solution for Nine Line Apparel to seamlessly synchronize data for BigCommerce and ShipStation with SAP Business One.

The SAP Business One + BigCommerce and SAP Business One + ShipStation integration by APPSeCONNECT delivered a reliable integration with real-time bidirectional data sync across the entire software ecosystem. The pre-configured connector worked right out-of-the-box, saving both time and resources for Nine Line Apparel to deploy the required integration. By working with APPSeCONNECT, they also got to work with ProcessFlow, the intuitive Visual Integration Builder, that helped them customize the integration to meet their specific needs effortlessly.
