How a Sage X3 Magento Integration Can Help Your Business

A Sage X3 Magento integration can save your business time and money while providing a better eCommerce experience for your customers. An ERP eCommerce integration forms a connection between your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and eCommerce platform. This reduces or even eliminates the need for manual data entry between your systems.

How an ERP eCommerce Integration Works

An ERP eCommerce integration is usually a piece of middleware, a type of software that enables communication or connectivity between two of more pieces of software, that sits between your Sage ERP and website. Multiple different Sage X3 eCommerce integrations are available on the market today. While many offer similar functionality, there are also important differences between them. Different companies have different needs, and part of getting the most out of your Sage X3 and eCommerce integration is ensuring that you’ve chosen the right solution for your business.

Common differentiating factors between Sage X3 integration solutions include:

Business Logic and Data Connection Points

A data connection point is the type of information that will sync between your core business platforms. Your business logic is the workflows in Sage that will determine how your eCommerce integration works. They consist of things like events, triggers, and rules that determine how your system will process new online orders. Different Sage X3 Magento 2 integrations will handle your workflows differently and may include different connection points.

E-Link follows all business logic in Sage X3. It’s good for B2B, B2C, and anything in between.

One-Way and Bidirectional Data Syncing

A one-way sync means that data will only flow from one system into the other. With an automated bi-directional data exchange, data will sync seamlessly between Sage X3 and Adobe Commerce (Magento 2). A bi-directional data sync like E-Link provides the best customer experience and ensures that you get the most out of your Sage X3 integration.

SaaS or On-Premise Hosting

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) or in-the-cloud applications are both quite common. With SaaS products, the eCommerce storefront is hosted on a cloud-based server. On-premises applications involve installing the application on premise behind the corporate firewall. With our E-Link integration tool, we can accommodate both SaaS and on-premise hosting.

Benefits of a Sage X3 Magento Integration

That’s an abstract view of how an ERP eCommerce integration works. Here are some more specific examples of how these integrations work in practice.

Customer Information like Addresses will flow from Sage X3 into your website when returning customers log into their accounts.

Past Orders stored in Sage ERP will be visible, too, for easy repeat ordering. New orders placed in Magento will automatically flow into Sage for easy order processing.

Inventory Information and Levels in Sage will be visible and effect listings on your website. This means you’ll be able to avoid under- and over-sells.

Any product catalogue changes in Sage X3 will automatically flow into Magento, which means your webstore is always up to date.

Adobe Commerce (Magento) + Sage X3 Integration

E-Link is good for B2B, B2C, and anything in between. One of its most popular features is that it provides B2C-like ordering capabilities for B2B clients.

Traditionally, place a B2B order is often a very manual and complicated process that may involve multiple emails, phone calls, and quotes. E-Link replaces all that with a simple, automated solution. Customers will have access to their custom-negotiated rates and products online. They’ll be able to easily place orders and reorders, which is more convenient for the customer and reduces the workload for your customer service employees.

Sage X3 Magento 2 Integration Features and Benefits

E-Link stands out for its customizability and flexibility. Our expert developers and Sage consultants specifically built it for both Sage X2 and Magento 2. We actually replace native modules in both platforms with our own custom versions that provide better functionality. This improves flexibility, allowing us to build whatever functionality or add whatever connection points you need.

When you go with us, you’re never stuck paying for functionality you don’t need or limited by a set of pre-built connections and rules.
