Manual data transfer was time-consuming and led to errors
Founded in 2005, CreaPak Oy is a Finnish-owned supplier of packaging materials and equipment that serves corporate customers in various industries throughout Finland. The company has grown and evolved continuously, but data transfer between the online store and inventory management had been a challenge.
All orders received through the online store had to be manually re-entered into the company’s ERP system, and inventory levels were maintained manually, making inventory management extremely labor-intensive. This process was extremely time-consuming, increased the risk of errors, and constantly caused discrepancies between the online store and inventory management, leading to errors and delays in deliveries. The company explored the possibility of integrating its old online store system with the ERP system, but technical limitations had previously prevented implementation.
System Integration Implemented by Flashnode
CreaPak decided to keep its old ERP system because it worked well for their needs. Instead, they decided to switch their e-commerce platform to WooCommerce, which offered better functionality and modern features. CreaPak decided to undertake an integration project whose key objectives were real-time inventory levels and the automatic transfer of orders from the online store to the ERP system.
Flashnode implemented the integration, which seamlessly connects CreaPak’s NetBaron ERP system with the WooCommerce online store. Thanks to this solution, order data and inventory levels are updated automatically without the need for manual entry. Now, online store orders are transferred directly into the system, and inventory levels are updated in real time whenever products are sold or new stock arrives. This saves time and eliminates unnecessary steps, which in turn speeds up operations and frees up resources for more important tasks.
"Our collaboration with Flashnode went extremely smoothly, and their professionalism was evident in the planning and implementation of the integration. Their solution eliminated data gaps and brought significant efficiency gains to our daily operations."
Results: Time and Resource Savings
With the implementation of the integration, CreaPak has achieved significant benefits:
- Time savings: Eliminating manual data entry frees up resources for other tasks.
- Fewer errors: Automated data transfer has improved data transparency and reduced errors.
- More efficient workflow: Real-time inventory levels and automated ordering processes streamline operations.
