What is ERP and what is it for?
ERP is a system/software that serves to plan the resources of a company. The most modern ones have modules, one for each business area. The most common modules are those used to plan and manage the resources of sectors such as:
- Call Center;
- Shopping;
- Accounting;
- Stock;
- Revenues;
- Providers;
- Legal;
- Production;
- Projects;
- Human Resources;
- Sales.
Some of these softwares allow you to customize the modules and/or remove or insert different modules, according to your demand.
Furthermore, an ERP can be useful for all types of companies, from services, through industries, to physical commerce and also e-commerce, as you will discover in the next topic of this post.

What is ERP for e-commerce?
An ERP for e-commerce basically has the same functions as a regular ERP, but with some specific customization. It is worth remembering, there are e-commerce platforms that already come with this integrated system. When this is not the case, then the way is to do (with the help of a programmer) a manual integration.
Once you have an ERP integrated with e-commerce you can, for example:
- Having a holistic view of your e-commerce (with statistical data from the virtual store, finances, logistics, HR, etc.), which will help you make better decisions;
- Automate tasks such as issuing invoices, for example, which will allow you to save time and resources;
- Decrease operational errors through process automation and consequent reduction of repetitive manual tasks.
And if the software is in the cloud, you will soon be able to manage many of your e-commerce resources remotely.

How to do the integration?
As mentioned earlier, if you don't have an ERP system for e-commerce integrated with your online store, then hire a programmer to do the work for you. Since the service is for a specific project, hiring a freelancer is the best option.
Another option is to hire an e-commerce agency like e-Plus, which has trained and specialized front-end and back-end programmers . e-Plus programmers are certified on the VTEX, Linx, and Rakuten Genesis platforms, ensuring a flawless service.
