Edge Food Equipment

E-commerce platform connected to Sage

Edge managed 13,000 products and B2B prices in Sage, while orders still moved through spreadsheets. We connected Sage ERP, Shopify Plus and Azure and launched in two weeks. The team now saves more than 16 hours of manual order work each week.

The challenge

Product data moved between Sage and the online store through exports. B2B customers waited for their own catalogues and every order needed manual work. Other suppliers estimated at least three months.

Our approach

We mapped how product and order data moves between Sage ERP and Shopify Plus. Azure now keeps that data clean and up to date. We also built dedicated portals for more than seven customers, each with its own catalogue, prices, payment terms and ordering process.

Results

  • Reliable connection live in two weeks, not three months
  • More than 16 hours of manual B2B order work saved each week
  • 13,000 products synced daily via Autoquotes API
  • B2B portals live for more than seven customers with their own prices
  • No exports, duplicate entry or spreadsheets in between
  • Fixed scope, one price upfront

Alt F Awesome took us from an idea to a fully running online store with 13,000 products synced daily through the Autoquotes API.
