The Challenge

Initially, the ERP system (Xentral) could store linked products for upsell and cross-sell, but this data couldn’t be exported to Shopify due to Shopify's lack of built-in functionality. Existing Shopify apps required manual entry and did not support automatic syncing with the ERP system, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors. The customer’s app for similar product suggestions was not accurate, affecting conversion rates. There was no efficient way to match ERP product data with Shopify’s system, causing potential delays and incorrect product recommendations.

Our Solution

The solution involved creating an automated data flow that exports product data from the ERP system to Channable, sends it hourly to Google Sheets, matches internal SKUs with Shopify product IDs, and uploads the file to an FTP server. Another tool processes and imports this data into Shopify, storing product references in Shopify metafields. This eliminates the need for real-time database searches, preventing slow page loads. The system ensures any changes in the ERP system are instantly reflected in Shopify, with accurate upsell and cross-sell recommendations displayed using custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
