“The project with Acerpure further establishes Marmeto as a tech solution provider. We did not only work as tech builders but also helped with introductions to various other partners such as Juspay and Gokwik that would help build the entire ecosystem up for Acerpure”
~Team Marmeto
Acerpure, a subsidiary of the Acer Group, specializes in innovative air purification solutions designed to enhance human quality of life. With a focus on smart air quality solutions, Acerpure delivers high-efficiency and intelligent air purification systems.
However, Acerpure faced a unique ecommerce tech challenge that required the expertise of Marmeto, an ecommerce tech solution leader in commerce transformations, to resolve.
The Problem
Acerpure was using QAD, a third-party ERP system, and needed a solution that integrated it seamlessly with Shopify without switching systems. QAD ERP lacked native integration with Shopify, and without a robust integration solution, Acerpure risked disruptions in order fulfillment and inventory management on their ecommerce store. This could potentially impact their customer experience and long-term sales growth.
"Acerpure had a clear vision—they wanted their product to be the hero of the site. However, integrating their existing QAD ERP system with Shopify was critical for maintaining backend efficiency. Our job was to build a bridge that allowed them to focus on scaling without worrying about operational setbacks."
~ Team Marmeto
Marmeto developed a custom middleware solution for their ecommerce store that enabled real-time synchronization between QAD and Shopify. This complex task required more than just connecting two systems; it ensured that the integration be seamless, efficient, and scalable.
The Process
To achieve a seamless integration, we employed a phased approach, beginning with a thorough onboarding process to understand Acerpure’s ERP setup. To adhere and deliver the project within the timelines, we divided the project into phases.
Phase 1 - Architectural Planning
We designed a middleware architecture for Acerpure capable of handling two-way synchronization of order data in real-time between their ecommerce store and Shopify, ensuring the system was scalable.
Phase 2 - Development and Testing
Within 1.5 weeks, we developed and tested the tech solution, maintaining open communication with Acerpure's team. We incorporated feedback to refine and optimize the integration.
Phase 3 - Development and Fine Tunning
After deployment, we entered a support phase to make any necessary adjustments, ensuring a smooth go-live process and a seamless experience for Acerpure’s e-commerce platform. The primary challenge was developing the solution rapidly without compromising quality, given Acerpure’s eagerness to launch. Rigorous internal testing and close collaboration with Acerpure helped us align timelines effectively and manage the legacy ERP constraints to deliver a powerful tech solution for their ecommerce store.
The Result
Acerpure’s ecommerce store went live within just 10 days of starting the project. This quick turnaround was critical, enabling Acerpure to enter the market swiftly and begin its e-commerce journey.
The impact was immediate, with Acerpure achieving record-breaking metrics in the first 13 days of launch. Our middleware solution facilitated smooth order processing and efficient inventory management, ensuring a consistent and reliable customer experience.
“Acerpure has been kind enough to send us an appreciation email for the exceptional service and on time deliveries. They are also considering their Phase-2 tech development and retainer engagement with us.”
~Team Marmeto
The integration not only enhanced operational efficiency but also laid a strong foundation for long-term growth. The scalable solution allows Acerpure to expand its product range without backend limitations, positioning them well in the competitive e-commerce market.
Marmeto's Learning
This project was a valuable learning experience for Marmeto. It highlighted the importance of thoroughly understanding legacy ERP systems and collaborating closely with client teams to achieve seamless integration.Based on our work with Acerpure, we have optimized our approach to ERP-Shopify integrations and plan to refine our processes further. Our goal is to minimize developer hours and streamline communication, reducing turnaround times for future middleware solutions.
This ensures our clients can scale efficiently and achieve their e-commerce transformation goals quickly.
