NetSuite ERP – Shopify Plus Integration

NetSuite is billed as the #1 Cloud ERP Software. Shopify Plus is the world’s most scalable and robust eCommerce Platform. The common thread between both applications? The businesses that use both.

But, there’s a catch. Businesses using NetSuite and Shopify Plus aren’t your regular run-of-the-mill businesses. They’re complex, they’re unique, and they’re sophisticated. So why do these scaling SMB to Enterprise-level businesses often insist on using unsophisticated data integration strategies and solutions?

Complexity Requires Sophistication

The thing is, complex applications like NetSuite and Shopify Plus punch at a heavier weight class than solutions geared for smaller businesses with a single revenue stream and plateaued growth. Businesses who implement these applications do so with specific needs in mind to meet strategic goals and keep growth on track, and as a result, these core applications are often tweaked and customized to fit these needs exactly. When you’re on a trajectory, you need things to work exactly as your business requires to keep everything moving together like a well-oiled machine.

On top of this complexity within the applications themselves, businesses using the power combination of NetSuite-Shopify Plus have complexity throughout their broader back-end technology stack — and beyond. Multiple sales channels online and in the physical world, a growing supply chain, and business-specific rules tied to how every element intersects compound the intricacies in how to tie everything together.

All this unique sophistication begs for an equally sophisticated integration solution. Tying the incredible powers of NetSuite’s ERP system to Shopify Plus’ eCommerce platform (and vice-versa) is a challenge that should not be embarked upon lightly. And although the tides are shifting — more and more upper-SMB and burgeoning Enterprise omnichannel businesses now know that data integration is a strategic objective that can make (or break) their targets — there are still many businesses out there who still end up on the wrong path to their ultimate solution. 

Those new to the concepts of integration of applications and automated data movement usually start by exploring various data integration options. To those who don’t know the differences between integration solution types — DIY, plug-and-play, and iPaaS — the solutions themselves may appear, at first glance, interchangeable. But those who have tried to implement a lower-quality solution (a decision usually based on sticker price, and little more) learn very quickly about the limitations their decisions have created for the business as a whole. Low-quality solutions give you the lowest common denominator solution: something that appeals to many, and one that very rarely fits complex businesses out of the box.
