Puzzle Solved: Shopping Carts and 3PLs

Stacks Image 1342
eCommerce and a successful shopping cart business is a critical revenue stream for retailers. Recognizing that the digital consumer is a force to be reckoned with, you have likely established an e-commerce site plan. You have an enticing storefront and a robust shopping cart application. You know how you are going to market your products and how they will get shipped to your customers. All good.

But, how do you get your orders to your 3PL to feed into their Warehouse Management System (WMS). At Integral Group, data transport and integration is our business and we have streamlined the process for you so that it blends seamlessly with your operations, including your 3PL.

While EDI is all about document standardization, shopping carts are atypical where the APIs vary greatly between vendors. But, the end need is the same: Customer order data needs to be funneled through the same process so it can integrate with your 3PL.

Certainly, shopping cart APIs are different than EDI and the formats are a bit of a ‘free for all’. It can become something of a mess for a seller who is working with shopping carts, EDI and Amazon and is pushed to use a different format for each setup, implementation and integration.
