Frequently asked questions
What does ERP stand for?
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning — the central system a business uses to manage finances, inventory, orders and reporting in one place.
Is an accounting system like Fortnox an ERP?
For many small and mid-sized ecommerce businesses, the accounting system is the ERP — it is where invoices, VAT and stock are managed. Larger operations may run a full ERP like Business Central or SAP alongside it.
What is the difference between an ERP and an ecommerce platform?
Your ecommerce platform (e.g. Shopify) runs your storefront and captures orders. Your ERP creates the invoices, books the revenue and tracks stock. They handle different jobs and usually need to be connected.
Do I need to connect my ERP to my online store?
If you are re-keying orders or updating stock by hand, connecting them removes that manual work and the errors it causes. Orders, invoices and stock levels then move automatically. Setup with Junipeer takes about 15 minutes.
