01
Selling what is not in stock
Stock is updated once a day or manually. The client places an order and then hears “the product is unavailable” – and does not return.
We connect the storefront with the accounting system: current stock and prices, automatic order entry, and status and document updates returned to the client. Less manual work means fewer errors that cost money and reputation.
When this needed
Integration is justified when the number of orders, products or warehouses makes manual synchronisation more expensive than automation.
01
Stock is updated once a day or manually. The client places an order and then hears “the product is unavailable” – and does not return.
02
Promotions, individual terms and exchange rates change in accounting, but the old price remains on the website. Each discrepancy creates conflict or lost margin.
03
A manager copies data from the website into accounting. As orders grow, this becomes a separate role and a source of errors.
04
Statuses, tracking numbers and documents live in accounting, so the buyer calls to learn something simple. Support load grows with sales.
Integration does not automatically accelerate a business. It removes the manual operations where mistakes are born.
Warehouse work
01
Data and process audit
which entities are exchanged, who owns the data, where manual operations remain, which state the reference data is in and what must be organized for the exchange.
02
Exchange map
Document: transfer directions, frequency, matching keys, conflict-priority rules and system behavior during failures.
03
Catalogue, stock and prices
Product catalogue, specifications, warehouses, price types and discounts. The storefront shows what can actually be sold today.
04
Orders, statuses and documents
An order from the website enters accounting with its counterparty and terms; status, waybill, invoice and closing documents return to the website.
05
Exchange reliability
Queues, retry attempts, an operations log and alerts to owners. A failure in one system does not stop sales in the other.
06
Launch and handover
A test environment, data reconciliation, exchange documentation and team instructions so the systems can be maintained without us.
Boundaries: we do not rewrite your accounting-system configuration or clean up the catalogue instead of your team. If reference data is chaotic, we first fix the minimum rules; otherwise the exchange will create errors every day.
Data path
Exchange speed is limited by your accounting system: not every ERP handles real-time updates for a large catalogue. We identify these constraints at launch and design the exchange mode for real load.
01
meeting and access
30 minutes online: which accounting system is used, which entities are needed and who is responsible for the data on your side.
02
Exchange map and Assessment
Exchange documentation, scope, timeline and budget. This makes clear what can be done now and what requires accounting changes.
03
Development and test environment
The exchange first runs on test data: we verify matching, conflicts, failure behavior and load.
04
Launch and monitoring
Migration to the live environment, reconciliation of the first days, alert setup and handover of documentation to the team.
Cost
Licences for accounting systems, connectors and servers are paid separately to their providers.

Questions
With accounting and ERP systems that have an API or file-exchange capability: {{SYSTEM LIST}}. For custom systems, a documented exchange interface or database access from your IT team is required.
It depends on the systems and load. A hybrid is often optimal: critical data such as stock and price by event, the rest on a schedule. We choose the exchange mode after load assessment, not by default.
We design failure behaviour in advance: a retry queue, cached storefront data, alerts for responsible people and an error log. The store continues working and orders are not lost.
We ensure the exchange structure and technical correctness of transfer. The quality of product data, units, prices and stock in accounting is your team’s responsibility: the integration transfers data but does not fix it.
Typically, from several weeks to several months, depending on the number of exchanged entities, the state of reference data and access speed. We give exact timing after the exchange scheme is defined.
Yes, by separate agreement: exchange monitoring, response to errors, changes in data structure and new exchanged entities as the business grows.
