Technology
eCommerce: BigCommerce
Chas. E. Phipps had their eCommerce store built on BigCommerce to sell and grow online, having all the required functionality, design, and capability to create noteworthy experiences that customers wish for.

Manual data entry can be tricky and time-consuming for any business – established or emerging.

Understanding the organizational barriers that were hindering optimal growth, Chas. E. Phipps collaborated with DCKAP Integrator to integrate their eCommerce with their ERP for automated data transfer in real-time between the two systems to reduce complexity, costs, and save a lot of time which is otherwise drained in entering and examining the data if everything is accurate and consistent across all business channels.
