The E-Commerce Integration Guide

Stop Copying Order Data. Start Scaling Your Business.

If your team is manually entering orders, updating inventory in spreadsheets, or copying tracking numbers between systems, you're wasting hours every day on work that should happen automatically.

E-commerce integration fixes this. And at The Service Center, we make it effortless.

 

The Manual Process Problem

Here's what happens without integration:

Orders sit in your inbox waiting for someone to enter them into your system. Inventory counts are always slightly wrong because updates don't sync in real-time. Customers ask "where's my order?" because tracking information didn't make it back to your store. Your team spends more time managing data than growing the business.

It doesn't have to be this way.

 

What Integration Actually Means

E-commerce integration connects your online store and inventory systems directly to your fulfillment operations. When a customer places an order, here's what happens—automatically:

  • Order data flows into our Warehouse Management System instantly
  • We pick, pack, and ship the order
  • Tracking information flows back to your store and your customer
  • Inventory updates across all your sales channels simultaneously

No manual entry. No delays. No errors.

 

How We Make It Work

We integrate with your existing systems using EDI, API, or SFTP—whichever protocol you're already using. You don't change your platforms to work with us. We adapt to you.

Inbound: Your systems send us purchase orders automatically. Our WMS processes them and prepares shipments—whether that's individual packages for consumers (B2C) or palletized cartons for retail distribution centers (B2B).

Outbound: Once orders ship, tracking and shipment details flow back to your systems automatically. Your customers get updates. Your dashboards stay current. You have complete visibility without lifting a finger.

The Result: Real-time data synchronization that keeps everything accurate and up-to-date across all platforms.

 

Why This Matters for Your Business

Speed: Orders process in seconds instead of minutes or hours.

Accuracy: Automated data exchange eliminates manual errors completely.

Flexibility: We work with your platforms—Shopify, custom systems, enterprise ERPs, whatever you're using.

Dual-Channel Capability: Handle B2C and B2B fulfillment through one integrated system.

Scalability: Grow your order volume without adding staff to manage data entry.

 

The Service Center Difference

Most 3PLs claim to offer integration, then force you onto their proprietary platform. We do the opposite.

We integrate with YOUR systems using industry-standard protocols. Our WMS is built to be flexible, not rigid. Whether you're fulfilling orders from your website or shipping to Target's distribution center, we handle both with the same precision.

And we keep your data secure throughout the process—encrypted transmission, proper authentication, and complete audit trails.

 

Stop Wasting Time on Manual Processes

Your team should be focused on growing your business, not copying data between systems.

E-commerce integration eliminates the manual work that slows you down and creates errors. From order capture to delivery tracking, everything happens automatically.
