Do you remember the last time you had to explain to a customer why their order status showed ‘in stock’ on your website but ‘backorder’ in your system? These are not just technical hiccups but stories of frustrated teams and missed opportunities. The question is not whether your e-commerce business needs better integration; it is about empowering everyone on your team to thrive in a unified system.
