There comes a point in every e-commerce business where the patchwork of Shopify, spreadsheets, ShipStation, and QuickBooks stops working. Orders are flowing in, but nobody has a single view of what's happening — and you're managing three screens just to fulfil one order.

In this episode, Peter and Nirav break down the five essential steps every e-commerce business should take before integrating with an ERP system.
