How to Find the Best eCommerce Integration Software

How to Find the Best eCommerce Integration Software

It is very important for businesses to choose the right ecommerce integration software. In fact, it is as important as choosing the physical location of a brick and mortar store. The right software will increase a company’s performance.

What to Look for in eCommerce Integration Software

Before you start to compare the market, you need to know what your business’ present and future needs are. For instance, B2C (business to consumer) and B2B (business to business) models have very different needs. Additionally, you may currently have a system in place already. The most important aspects to look for are:

  • Expandability.
  • Functions.
  • Affordability.
  • Stability.
  • Semantic technology.
  • Usability.

Expandability

You always need to consider whether your company is going to grow in the future. This is why you should have a system in place that you can expand with increments. Any system that is unable to do this should be ignored.

Functions

First, you need to know which functions are an absolute necessity for your operations, and which ones you already have in place. Remember that ecommerce is about more than having a payment portal and shopping cart. Consider issues such as customs, if you ship overseas, insurance, shipping, and inventory control, for instance. You also have to think about what you are likely to need in the future, setting both an optimistic estimate and a conservative one.

Affordability

You have to set yourself a budget and stick to that. Be weary of hidden costs for things such as updates, expansions, and upgrades. The cost of the system and future costs should be confirmed to you in a written guarantee.

Stability

Naturally, you need to make sure that the system is fully stable. Hence, avoid unstable, under-funded, and/or brand new systems. You must be able to trust that the vendor will continue to exist for the foreseeable future.

Semantic Technology

Try to avoid very old technology, but also brand new technology. Instead, opt for something in between the two. Make sure that it is easy to implement updates, and that the system is fully compliant, secure, and compatible.

Usability

It is important that the system is easy to use both by your customers and your staff. Hence, you should actually test the system out before signing up to it. Temporary access should always be provided by a software vendor. Consider, as well, whether anyone will require special training to properly use the system and, if so, what that will cost.

Additionally, your old system should be able to integrate into the new one with ease. You should not find yourself in a situation where you have to use two systems side by side for a period of time, in other words.  This migration or integration should either be very easy to complete, or it should be included in the price.

With the above hints and tips, you should be able to find the best ecommerce integration software for your needs. Always make sure you compare the market and shop around.
