Streamlining Web2Print Operations: A PrintPLANR Integration Success Story
January 23, 2025
How PrintPLANR Revolutionizes E-Commerce Order Management?
Ever wondered why you run a successful e-commerce business with growing sales, a bustling platform full of orders, yet you find yourself stuck with manual data entry, missing order updates, and delayed order processing? Does that sound familiar?
Imagine trying to keep the demands of your business from piling up—ordering processing done manually, updated customer information across various systems, and hoping that your emails would be sent to customers at the proper time.
It feels like a never-ending cycle, right? But what if we told you there’s a way to eliminate all this manual labor, improve your order fulfillment speed, and keep your customers delighted with real-time updates? What if the solution was as simple as PrintPLANR?
The Problem: The E-commerce Struggle We’ve All Faced
Let’s take a step back and examine the challenges faced by many e-commerce businesses today:
-
Manual Order Entry:
Orders are coming through on your e-commerce platform – say Shopify or WooCommerce. However, each order must be taken and rekeyed manually into your internal system. It is an onerous, laborious, and error-prone process.
-
Manual Stock Management:
Managing inventory manually can be just as time-consuming and error-prone as manual order entry. Without automated synchronization, businesses spend countless hours reconciling stock levels, verifying quantities, and correcting errors. Such inefficiencies not only slow down operations but also increase the risk of losing sales and damaging customer trust due to inaccurate inventory data.
-
Missing Updates:
Even when an order progresses through different stages, there’s a huge lag in updating both your internal system and the customer-facing e-commerce site. As a result, customers aren’t kept in the loop, and your team spends hours playing catch-up.
-
Email Communication Failures:
Did you know that missing an order confirmation or shipping email can lead to frustration and even lost sales? Yet, for many, emails are often delayed or simply don’t sync correctly with the e-commerce platform.
This was the reality for many of our customers—until we introduced PrintPLANR into the equation. Our flagship product, designed and developed in-house by Infomaze, addresses these exact pain points by bringing automation and integration to the forefront.
But how did we do it? More importantly, why does this matter for you? Let’s dive deeper into the solution.
The Solution: Why PrintPLANR is the Ultimate E-commerce Integrator
PrintPLANR is not only another software product but a real automation powerhouse that harmoniously merges with e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, and Joomla. Let me guide you through the process and demonstrate exactly how PrintPLANR can revolutionize your business operations.
-
Sync Products Automatically
Imagine you’ve added a new product to your online store. Now, without PrintPLANR, you would manually enter this product into your internal system, check inventory levels, and update your shipping details. But what if this entire process could be automated?
With PrintPLANR, inventory levels are automatically updated in real-time based on ordered quantities, ensuring accurate stock management across your e-commerce platform and internal system.
No more duplicate entries, no more errors—just seamless integration. Every time a product is added or updated, the details flow effortlessly from PrintPLANR into your e-commerce platform, ensuring everything is up-to-date in real time.
-
Automate Order Processing
Let’s talk about order flow. When a customer places an order on your e-commerce site, what happens next? Without automation, this order would need to be manually entered into your order management system, which often leads to delays, errors, and missed updates.
Here’s where PrintPLANR works its magic. When an order is placed on your e-commerce site, it automatically flows into PrintPLANR, where it’s processed based on your specific business rules.
This includes creating or updating customer information, ensuring no data is lost, and triggering the right workflows for your team. So, instead of manually tracking orders, PrintPLANR does it for you, saving you hours of work every day.
-
Real-Time Status Updates
Now, here’s a game-changer: real-time order status updates. When the status of an order changes—whether it’s ready for dispatch, out for delivery, or completed—PrintPLANR doesn’t just update your internal systems; it sends this update straight back to your e-commerce platform.
This ensures your customers receive instant email notifications about their order status, giving them the transparency they expect.
Picture this: Your customer receives an email that their order is on the way, and the email is sent automatically from your e-commerce platform. No manual typing. No delays. Just smooth, hassle-free communication with your customers.
-
Integrating Existing Systems with Ease
Here’s the twist: PrintPLANR is not about forcing you to abandon your existing systems. We know that many businesses are already deeply integrated with their current e-commerce platforms. Our solution is about improving what you already have by integrating it with PrintPLANR.
For example, one of our customers in the UK was using an outdated Web2Print solution that didn’t meet their evolving needs.
They were hesitant to switch to our full Web2Print solution because their customers and staff were already accustomed to their old system. But instead of asking them to make a full transition, we proposed an integration—connecting their existing platform to PrintPLANR.
The result? They saved over 40 hours per week, and the integration cost was recovered in just a couple of weeks. Now, they’ve transformed their business without uprooting their entire system. And the best part? The end customers had no idea they had made the switch because everything worked seamlessly.
Why PrintPLANR is the Future of E-Commerce Integrations
If your business is still dealing with rigid, manual data entry processes, the question is: why continue when there’s a better way? PrintPLANR has already helped many businesses streamline their operations and improve efficiency. And we’re just getting started.
