About Steel and Pipes

Founded in 1979, Steel and Pipes have a long history of serving the industrial steel market in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Business Requirements

Manual Data Entry can present a problem where the data is entered wrongly, causing more time to be taken to rectify the problem. Steel and Pipes wanted to automate their existing system so their data flow between the ERP and eCommerce is seamless and consistent, always.

With their eCommerce store built on Shopify and ERP to run their backend operations on P21, they experienced some hiccups with data assessment and filing, which did not let them do business smoothly and the way they wanted.

They had a large product database. In thousands, is what we are talking about. And was unable to customize products as per their business demands and customer requests. This way, it was becoming a bit complicated for the customer to explore products.

Another challenge was the listing product hierarchy from P21 to the Shopify hosted eCommerce store.
