How to Set Up E-Commerce with ERP

Running an online store disconnected from your ERP creates a cascade of problems. Inventory counts diverge between your website and warehouse, leading to overselling or phantom stock. Orders require manual entry into the fulfillment system, adding delay and errors. Customer records exist in two systems with no synchronization, making it impossible to provide a unified customer experience. Pricing updates require changes in multiple places, and promotional campaigns cannot account for real inventory levels.

Yukti eliminates these problems by building e-commerce directly into the ERP platform. Your online store reads from the same inventory database that your warehouse team uses. When a customer places an order online, inventory is reserved immediately, the order enters the fulfillment queue automatically, and the invoice is generated without any human intervention. There is no sync to configure, no middleware to maintain, and no reconciliation at month-end.

The e-commerce module includes everything you need to run a professional online store. The product catalog supports simple products, product variants (size, color, material), configurable products with options, and digital goods. You define attributes, write product descriptions, upload images, and set pricing rules including quantity discounts, customer-group pricing, and time-limited promotions. SEO features like customizable URLs, meta tags, and structured data help your products rank in search engines.

The checkout process is optimized for conversion with guest checkout, saved payment methods for returning customers, and multiple payment gateway options. Shipping rates can be calculated in real-time based on carrier integrations (FedEx, UPS, DHL) or defined as flat rates, free-shipping thresholds, or zone-based pricing. Tax calculation handles the complexity of multi-jurisdiction sales tax and VAT, applying the correct rates based on the customer's delivery address.

Order fulfillment is handled by the inventory module. Pick lists are generated automatically, and warehouse staff can process orders through the mobile app with barcode scanning. Tracking numbers from carriers sync back to the order and are shared with customers through automated shipping confirmation emails.

For B2B businesses, the store can be configured with login-required access, customer-specific pricing, minimum order quantities, and purchase order references. The customer portal allows repeat buyers to reorder from their purchase history, view their credit terms, and track shipments without contacting your team. This integration means your e-commerce operation is not a separate silo but a fully connected channel that shares data with every other department.
