Bridging the Gap between ERP Applications and eCommerce Solutions

Abstract

In today's world, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) applications have become a solution better than any other traditional way to approach the enterprise level sustainability within a department/organization. The area where ERP becomes difficult to use is the part where integration between other platforms such as e-commerce platforms is required. It is really hard to find an off the shelf solution to integrate the ERPs with the POS (Point of Sales) ecommerce since both the platforms follow different functional rules and process flows in terms of used terminologies and the business processes.To solve this problem this paper focuses on proposing a solution for aligning both ends that is the Ecommerce platforms as well as the ERP side while staying within their business processes.
