Challenges

No ERP Integration

Impex Stones’ Shopify website had no integration to their Acomba ERP, forcing their small staff to enter orders manually.

Inefficient Ordering

Order-taking was done by fax and email, which cost the company up to 12 sheets of paper per order.

Lack of Product Data

The website offered no way to display critical product information to their end users.

Solution

Integrating a k-ecommerce web store to their ERP allowed Impex Stones to virtually automate routine activities like order processing, invoicing, and inventory management.

The k-ecommerce solution’s product catalog let the team get their product offering online with beautiful high-quality images, detailed specs, and even instructional videos showing clients how to install and care for their products.

Impex Stones also had specific layout and navigation needs that the k-ecommerce team was able to meet with a custom web store design.

“I could not imagine that in 2019, we would have to use a human resource for data entry.”
