The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Manual Sage 50 & Clarity eCommerce Management Fails

Operating Sage 50 and Clarity eCommerce as separate silos creates significant operational bottlenecks, introduces errors, and hinders business growth. Manual data transfer is not only time-consuming but also prone to costly mistakes.

  • Manual Data Entry: Re-keying orders, customer details, and payment information from Clarity eCommerce into Sage 50.
  • Inventory Discrepancies: Out-of-sync stock levels leading to overselling on Clarity eCommerce or missed sales due to inaccurate Sage 50 inventory.
  • Delayed Order Fulfillment: Slow transfer of sales orders to Sage 50 means longer processing times and unhappy customers.
  • Financial Reconciliation Headaches: Tedious, error-prone manual matching of Clarity eCommerce payments to Sage 50 receipts and invoices.
  • Lack of Real-time Visibility: No unified view of sales, inventory, and financial health, impacting strategic decision-making.
  • Customer Data Inconsistency: Disparate customer records across systems leading to fragmented customer experiences.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Sage 50 and Clarity eCommerce

Understanding how core business entities map between Sage 50 and Clarity eCommerce is fundamental. Our iPaaS provides flexible, AI-assisted tools to ensure accurate and consistent data exchange for each entity.

Customer

Represents an individual or organization purchasing goods/services. Crucial for sales, billing, and CRM.

Clarity eCommerce Fields

CustomerID CustomerName BillingAddress ShippingAddress Email Phone CreditLimit Terms AccountBalance

Sage 50 Fields

customerId firstName lastName email phone shippingAddresses billingAddresses accountStatus marketingOptIn orderHistory

Mapping Notes

Sage 50 `CustomerID` is often the master ID, but Clarity eCommerce `customerId` can be used for initial creation. `CustomerName` in Sage 50 is typically a concatenation of `firstName` and `lastName` from Clarity. Address fields require careful normalization and validation. AI assists in identifying and merging potential duplicate customer records based on email or phone.
