After an initial deep-dive Discovery and Technical Workshop, Shopify was identified as the platform of choice, as it addressed all identified project requirements. Building on Shopify also allowed a quick turnaround and easier integration with the 3rd party apps and APIs due to Shopify’s vast library of enabling software.
The key to the project’s success was the ability to integrate Eagle Republic’s pre-existing ERP system with the new eCommerce platform. We were able to successfully integrate MYOB Advanced with Shopify via a custom API connection. The integration enables a 2-way sync allowing sales, logistics, inventory and financial management to flow between the two platforms simultaneously. A customised 3rd party app was also implemented and configured to address the complex shipping rules required for the project.
Eagle Republic has established brand guidelines and marketing collateral available and our team was able to incorporate the brand’s look and feel across the site with ease. Content changes and edits could also be easily managed post go-live through Shopify’s user-friendly content management system (CMS).
